PLUG AND PLAY
Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA
DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and,
depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its
display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC1 and
DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that
continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel
based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B
channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO
VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE
PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees
(NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power
consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an
OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the
video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically
redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display
is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or
clicking the mouse.
