Planar C3 User Guide

The portability of the Dome Surgery Review Cart allows you to implement a DICOM-compliant, PACS referral 
viewing station—on demand—in any area of a healthcare facility.  When it is fully integrated, the cart consists of 
the computer unit that you supply and these components:

• Review cart for attaching computer and display

• Dome CXtra software for DICOM compliance

• One or two displays for side-by-side image review

• Cleanable keyboard and mouse

• Display controller and driver

• Power adapters (display dependent)

The displays available in dual-unit cart configurations include the Dome C3i, Dome E2, Dome E2c, Dome E3, 
Dome E3c, Dome P2, and Dome Q2 displays.  The Dome E4c display, designed for widescreen diagnostic imaging, 
is also available in a single-unit cart configuration.

To facilitate integration at your location, Planar has partially assembled the review cart by prerouting power and 
video cables. You need only to install the display controller into your computer, attach the computer and the 
Dome displays to the cart, and connect the power and video cables.  Check the display documentation for safety 
guidelines on handling the components.
