About the separate components
The BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller generates the images 
for the display and the projector. It is a dual-head board: It has 
two video outputs, so it can send video signals to two different 
display devices. Both video outputs can be defined to deliver the 
same video signal or two separate video signals. 
Both heads have separate Lookup Tables (LUTs), so that the 
display curve or Preset can be defined and stabilized separately 
for both display devices.
The MGP 15 projector is used for projecting the medical images 
on a large screen. It has multiple inputs, so it can also be used to
