Monitor Power Management

VESA Display Power Management
Because of the tremendous amount of energy consumed
by monitors when operating, the system will reduce power
consumption and extend monitor lifecycle by suspending the
(switch off) monitors and projectors when the system goes into
sleep/standby.
This applies for all VESA Display Power Management compliant
displays that are connected to the VGA/DVI output of the system.
The display device needs to comply with VESA Display Power
Management System (DPMS).
NOTE
This requires a system supplied with a VGA/DVI output.

DPMS - Display Power Management System
EDID - Extended Display Identification Data
DMPM - Digital Monitor Power Management
VESA DPMS Standard
The VESA DPMS standard consists of 4 modes, Normal, Standby, Suspend and
Off, and applies to all Sync formats (e.g. VGA).
In Off mode some power may still be drawn in order to power indicator lights etc.
EDID contains the information on which mode a specific monitor supports.
TANDBERG supports all four modes. However, in software version F1 and
above, all monitors not listed below are automatically set to Off.

Digital Monitor Power Management
DMPM - Digital Monitor Power Management is monitor power
management applied over the digital DVI interface. TANDBERG
supports DMPM in software version F2 and above.
The following monitor power states are defined:
Monitor On Power state
Transmitter (TANDBERG codec) and receiver (Monitor) are powered
and active. This power state is equivalent with the DPMS normal
mode.
Intermediate Power state
When the codec goes from active to standby, it turns off the DVI
transmitter and the monitor can go from Monitor On
Active-off Power state
The monitor can go from Intermediate Power state to Active-off
Power state when the monitor timer expires.
Non-Link Recoverable Off Power State
The monitor can enter Non-Link Recoverable Off Power State
when the codec is switched off or if the DVI cable is disconnected.
This power state is equivalent to the DPMS “Off (with no DPMS
recovery)” state.
Monitor Power Switch Off Power state
This state can be entered when the power switch on the monitor is
toggled to its off position. This state has two sub-states dependent
on if the codec is switched on or off.
