5.3.4 Failover input

About failover input
This function allows the display to automatically switch to a failover (backup) source in case the main source
(DisplayPort, HDMI, Nexxis) is missing. The display will automatically restore the main source once the signal
is back.
The available failover inputs for your display are:
• None
• DVI
• SDI
The failover input can only be selected when both
1. the Auto search function is disabled (see "Auto search", page 35), and
2. the PiP/PaP Modes function is disabled (see"Picture and Picture input", page 36 and "Picture in
Picture input", page 37).
If any of both functions are enabled then failover will be disabled and made unavailable. As soon as
both functions are disabled again, failover will be enabled and made available again with the
selected failover input.
