Screen Saver and Timeout
— Press the
left

right
buttons to select
the screen saver setting or the duration the screen saver remains active before sync is
disabled. Press the
up

buttons to either set the screen saver to a black
screen (default), or to a blue screen with on-screen display, or to set the screen saver
time-out duration to a specified number of seconds. These options can also be set by
using PCS software.
•
When there is no active video on the selected input, the device can mute the video
output to black (
Black
), or set it to blue with an on-screen display (
Blue with

black video and sync (no sync timeout) when no active input is detected.

The screen saver timeout duration can be set to any duration from 0-500 seconds.
The default timeout value is 501, which disables the timeout.
