Connecting Multiple PCs

Connecting Multiple PCs

This product can be connected to multiple PCs and allows you to switch between the connections for display.

Connection Examples

Note

  • You can select the input signal to display using the operation switch () on the front of the monitor. For details, see Switching Input Signals.
  • This product provides a function that automatically recognizes the connector through which PC signals are input, and displays images on the screen accordingly. For details, see Auto Input Detection.

Using PbyP Display

If you select PbyP display and input multiple signals to the monitor, you can display multiple windows side-by-side. Two screens can be displayed on one screen, so switching signals is no longer necessary and work productivity improves. The combination of signals can also be changed.

PbyP Settings

Layout

Settings: "Layout 1" / "Layout 2" / "Layout 3"

Selects the layout.

Input - Left

Settings: "USB-C" / "DisplayPort" / "HDMI 1" / "HDMI 2"

Selects the input signal for each screen.

Note

The same input signal cannot be set for the left and right screens. When changing the input signal on one of the screens, selecting an input signal already set on another screen will automatically switch the signal.

Input - Right

Settings: "USB-C" / "DisplayPort" / "HDMI 1" / "HDMI 2"

Selects the input signal for each screen.


Using PinP Display

If you select PinP display and input multiple signals to the monitor, you can display them in the large window and small window. Multiple screens can be displayed on one screen, so switching signals is no longer necessary and work productivity improves. The signal combination of the large window and small window can be switched.

PinP Settings

PinP Size

Settings: "Large" / "Small"

Select the size of the small window.

PinP Position

Settings: "Upper Left" / "Lower Left" / "Upper Right" / "Lower Right"

Select the display position of the small window.

Input - Large Window

Settings: "USB-C" / "DisplayPort" / "HDMI 1" / "HDMI 2"

Selects the input signal for the large window.

Note

The same input signal cannot be set for the large window and small window. For this reason, when changing the input signal of the large window, selecting an input signal already set on the small window will automatically switch the signal between the large window and small window.

Input - Small Window

Settings: "USB-C" / "DisplayPort" / "HDMI 1" / "HDMI 2"

Selects the input signal for the small window.


Linking the Input Signal and USB Port

When two PCs are connected to one monitor, you can link the input signal with the USB upstream port. This makes it possible to connect USB devices such as a mouse or keyboard to the monitor and use them from multiple PCs.

Connection Examples

Linking

See USB Selection - DisplayPort / HDMI 1 / HDMI 2 to link the USB upstream port to the input signal.

Switching USB Ports

Use either of the following methods to switch the USB upstream port.

Changing the input signal

The USB upstream port switches automatically.

Using the operation switch () on the front of the monitor to switch ports (when using PbyP/PinP display)

When you touch the operation switch (), a frame is displayed around one screen.

The USB port linked to the signal for this screen is enabled.

Each time you touch the operation switch (), the frame moves.

Note

  • When using both USB-C and USB-B connections, switching the input signal or USB upstream port will temporarily disconnect the USB signal. If a storage device such as a USB memory stick is connected to the monitor, switch the port only after you have removed the storage device.
