Using Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-beside-Picture (PBP)

The monitor supports both PIP, where one source is overlaid over another, and PBP, where one source is

positioned adjacent to another.

To use PIP or PBP:

1. Connect a secondary input source to the monitor.

2. Press one of the bezel buttons on the right side of the monitor to activate the buttons, and then press

the Menu button to open the OSD.

3. In the OSD, select PIP Control > Enable PIP and then select either Picture-in-Picture or 2x1 Dual Split

(PBP).

4. The monitor will scan the secondary inputs for a valid signal input and use that input for the PIP/PBP

picture. If you want to change the PIP/PBP input, select Assign Inputs in the OSD and select the desired

input.

5. If you want to change the size of the PIP, select PIP Size in the OSD then select the desired size.

6. If you want to adjust the position of the PIP, select PIP Position in the OSD, then select the desired

position.

NOTE: When using PBP or PIP, you need to select the primary video input and the secondary video input in

the OSD; the audio output to the speakers defaults to the primary video input source. You can switch primary

and secondary video inputs in the OSD by selecting PIP Control > Assign Inputs > Swap Primary / Secondary.

Using Auto-Sleep Mode

The monitor supports an OSD (On-Screen Display) option called Auto-Sleep Mode that allows you to enable

or disable a reduced power state for the monitor. When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by default), the

monitor will enter a reduced power state when the host PC signals low power mode (absence of either

horizontal or vertical sync signal).

Upon entering this reduced power state sleep mode, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned

off and the power LED indicator turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5W of power when in this

reduced power mode. The monitor will wake from the sleep mode when the host PC sends an active signal to

the monitor (for example, if you activate the mouse or keyboard).

You can disable the Auto-Sleep Mode in the OSD. Press one of the three buttons on the right side of the

monitor to activate the button, and then press the Menu button on the right side of the monitor to open the

OSD. In the OSD select Power Control > Auto-Sleep Mode > Off.

NOTE: You can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time in

the monitor's Sleep Timer utility. Open the OSD and select Power Control > Sleep Timer > On, and use the

adjustable clock to set the sleep time. When the monitor's Sleep Timer utility causes the monitor to enter the

reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
