About image source selection

The Nio Color 5MP has 4 video inputs: DisplayPort 1, DVI 1, DisplayPort 2 and DVI 2. The input to be displayed is dependent on the selected image source selection mode:

• Automatic image source selection mode automatically detects the connected video input and shows it on the screen. If more than one video input is connected, the input to be displayed will be determined based on the following priority mechanism:

  1. DisplayPort 1 (highest priority)
  2. DVI 1
  3. DisplayPort 2
  4. DVI 2 (lowest priority)
• Manual image source selection mode allows to manually select the input to be displayed.

• Expert image source selection mode enables the dual input channel mechanism. This will make inputs 1 (DisplayPort 1 together with DVI 1) and inputs 2 (DisplayPort 2 together with DVI 2) to be handled as two separate channels. Switching between channel 1 and channel 2 can in its turn be done automatically or manually:

  • Automatic channel selection will automatically detect the connected video input(s) and show it on the screen. Priority will be given to channel 1 inputs if both channels have video input(s) connected. In this way channel 2 can be seen as a backup channel.
  • Manual channel selection allows to manually switch to either channel 1, channel 2 or no channel (causing no input to be displayed).

  For each channel, the video input (DisplayPort or DVI) can then also be selected automatically or manually:

  • Automatic input selection gives priority to DisplayPort over DVI for each channel.
  • Manual input selection allows DisplayPort or DVI to be selected manually per channel.
