Configure DDC-Auto Detect Resolutions
DDC information allows the CPU to automatically select the optimal resolution for the monitor by receiving, at power up,
information from the monitor concerning its resolution specifications.
The DDC information is acquired from the monitor by the PRIMUX. A monitor with DDC support must be connected to the
connector "MONITOR" on the User Station and be powered ON for this to occur. The DDC information will be sent to the
selected powered Host Adapter to be retrieved by its connected CPU.
Note: The CPU connected to the Host Adapter must be powered up to receive the DDC information.
DDC information is automatically acquired from the monitor by the User Station. To send DDC information to a powered Host
Adapter, press <D> from the System Configuration Menu. (From Command Mode type <A>-<S>-<D>.)
