About failover input
This function allows the display to automatically switch to a failover (backup) source in case the main source is
missing. The display will automatically restore the main source once the signal is back.
The available failover inputs for your display are:
• None
• DVI
• SDI 4K (*)
• SDI
• HDMI-1
• HMDI-2
(*) 12GP version only.
The failover input can only be selected when both
1. the
Auto search function is disabled (see “Main source”, page 30 ), and
2. the PIP/PBP Modes function is disabled (see “Picture-in-Picture (PIP)”, page 33 and “Picture-by-
Picture (PBP)”, page 33 ).
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.
The available 4K main input / FHD failover input combinations can be found in the following table:
