5.3.6 Failover input
About failover input
This function allows the display to automatically switch to a failover (backup) source in case the main source
(DisplayPort, HDMI, SDI 4K) is missing. The display will automatically restore the main source once the signal
is back.
The available failover inputs for your display depend on the selected SDI configuration mode. See the
following table for more details.
Main source Backup source
DP / HDMI / SDI 1
• None
• DVI
• SDI 3 (*1)
DP / HDMI / SDI 1 / SDI 3 (*2)
• None
• DVI
DP / HDMI / QUAD LINK 3G-SDI (*3)
• None
• DVI
The failover input can only be selected when both
1. the
Auto search function is disabled (see “ Auto search ” , page 36), and
2. the PiP/PaP Modes function is disabled (see “ Picture and Picture input ” , page 37 and “ Picture in
Picture input ” , page 38).
If any of both functions are enabled then failover will be disabled and made unavailable. As soon as
both functions are disabled again, failover will be enabled and made available again with the
selected failover input.
The failover input will be activated within about 7 seconds after the main source has been lost.
During the transition from main to failover input and vice versa, a text message is visible to inform
the user.
The main source can be changed while the failover input remains unchanged. During the selection
and synchronization of a new main source the failover function is temporary (7 sec) disabled.
