Ambix4™
Allows up to four inputs (DisplayPort, VGA and two DVI-D) to be connected to a single monitor and for each of the four signals to be displayed with the press of a button.
MultiSync P/PA Series Picture by Picture
Displays a either second video source or the same video source in an window beside the main video source. The Picture by Picture window can display the video source in the same or an alternate color space.
MultiSync P/PA Series Picture in Picture
Displays a either second video source or the same video source in an adjustable sub-window over the main video source. The Picture in Picture window can display the video source in the same or an alternate color space
AmbiBright™
Automatically adjusts the backlight depending on the brightness of ambient lighting conditions. It also tells the monitor to enter power saving mode whenever the ambient lighting falls below a predetermined value (like when lights are shut off at the end of the day), which can significantly reduce energy consumption.
3D LUT
Internal 14-bit programmable 3D lookup tables (LUTs) allow the display of 1.07 billion colors out of a palette of 4.3 trillion (with 10-bit DisplayPort input) for accurate color, smooth images and hardware calibration.
6-Axis Color Control
Allows for precise and simplified color, color temperature and saturation adjustment.
CableComp™
Equalizes the video signal to eliminate color halos on long cable runs.
Picture-in-Picture
Allows two sources to be displayed on the screen at one time in either a picture-in-picture or side-by-side configuration.
Auto Image Rotation
Automatic rotation of the displayed image based on the orientation of the monitor head
Digital Uniformity Compensation
Reduces screen uniformity errors and compensates for differences in color/grayscale and luminance using new signal processing circuitry.
DisplaySync Pro
DisplaySync Pro is a type of KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch. It allows multiple computers to be connected to the monitor through USB and share the attached USB devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, saving desktop space and increasing productivity.
MultiProfiler™
This software provides an intuitive interface to control the display's sophisticated technologies, such as loading any ICC profile directly into the display for optimal color space matching.
Kensington Lock
Enables a security cable to be attached to the projector.
XtraView®
