Plug and play
Plug & play DDC2B feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor
to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information
about its display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC2B.
The DDC2Bis a bidirectional data channel based on the I
2
C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the
DDC2B channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER
FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards Association(VESA) and/or
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This
feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal
present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an
OFF mode. This reduces the monitor’s internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full
power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a “Screen Saver” feature
except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
