Introduction

Thank you for choosing Barco.

Single display or complete system?

This manual describes installation and usage of a complete N

IO

 system. 

A N

IO

 system is a bundling of one or more displays and one or more 

display controllers.

However, if you have purchased the display only instead of a N

IO

 

system, please refer to the chapters in this manual covering the display, 
and disregard the information about the display controller or N

IO

W

ATCH

 

software.

The displays

The E-2621 is a 21.3-inch grayscale LCD display with a native resolution 
of 1600 x 1200.

The E-3620 is a 20.8-inch grayscale LCD display with a native resolution 
of 2048 x 1536.

The MDNG-5621 is a 21.3-inch grayscale LCD display with a native 
resolution of 2560 x 2048. It is available in a clearbase and bluebase 
version.

Their high-brightness, combined with image crispness and excellent 
viewing angle, makes them ideal for a multitude of medical 
applications and environments.

Long-term stabilization

The displays contain a Backlight Output Stabilization system (BLOS

©

), 

which continuously stabilizes the luminance output of the LCD’s 
backlight. This improves the overall optical efficiency and provides long-
term image confidence.

NioWatch

In N

IO

 systems, the display comes standard with N

IO

W

ATCH

, a user-

friendly software tool that optimizes the LCD panel for DICOM-compliant 
viewing.
