BenQ PD2725U DesignVue Designer 27" 16:9 HDR 4K IPS Monitor - Manual (Page 50)

50 How to adjust your monitor
1. Connect the second video source to one of the video inputs other than Thunderbolt™ 3
(PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q) on the monitor using an appro-
priate cable.
2. Press the 5-way controller to bring up the hotkey menu, and select ( Menu ) to access
the main menu.
3. Go to KVM Switch > Video Input .
4. Change the setting according to your scenario.
• For Scenario A: Working with two computers and one monitor on page 50 , select the video input
just connected. When USB Upstream under KVM Switch is selected, the display and USB
control change from Thunderbolt™ 3 (PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q)
to the other connected video input.
• For Scenario B: Working with two computers and two monitors on page 51 and Scenario C:
Working in PBP mode on page 51 , select None . This is because two video inputs are displayed
simultaneously and require no switch. The None option will switch USB control only.
Enabling Auto Switch function for KVM Switch
After the second source has been set properly from KVM Switch > Video Input , you can go
to KVM Switch > Auto Switch (or KVM Auto Switch on PD2725U) and turn on the Auto
Switch function. Once enabled, if USB or Thunderbolt™ 3 (PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) /
USB-C™ (PD3420Q) cable is disconnected, the USB input source and the control will be
switched to the other computer automatically.
The KVM Auto Switch might not switch video and USB signals simultaneously if None is
selected from KVM Switch > Video Input . In this case, select a video input manually from
Input > Signal Input .
Scenario A: Working with two computers and one monitor
1. Establish cable connection as instructed in Connect the PC video cable on page 12 .
2. Go to System > Power Awake > USB and select ON .
3. Set up the second video source as instructed in Setting up the second video source for
KVM Switch before use on page 49 .
If None is selected from KVM Switch > Video Input for Scenario A: Working with two computers and one
monitor and USB Upstream is selected for KVM Switch, the screen does not display anything from the second
source as there is none. You cannot control the current display (from Thunderbolt™ 3 or USB-C™, depending
on your purchased model) either as the keyboard and mouse control has been switched away. In this case, select
a video input manually from
Input > Signal Input .
