DDC Learning
DDC provides plug-and-play capability to your displays. When you plug a display into your
computer, the DDC table in the display tells the computer the optimal resolution to use. In
order to preserve this plug-and-play capability, we have integrated DDC learning into all of
our DVI Solutions.
To enter CHANGE DDC mode, press the UP button when MENU/CHANGE DDC is shown. Use
the dial to cycle through the DDC learning modes. To select a mode, press and hold the UP
button for three seconds. The currently selected DDC Mode will be indicated by a letter in
parenthesis (
P
for PC,
M
for Mac, and
S
for Screen). To exit the CHANGE DDC menu, press the
down button.
