Connecting the DView to
Source
Components

Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video
quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the
entire signal path, from source component output into the display.
This DView supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard. This
standard provides “Plug and Play” capability; the display and a VESA
DDC-compatible computer communicate their setting requirements,
allowing for quick and easy setup.
In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on the display
before you turn on the connected computer.
