General
Connected to Clarity via either:
- Clarity's USB-C port
- Clarity's USB-B port
Clarity’s "Active USB" mode is set to the same USB port you've connected to your computer.
To change Clarity's "Active USB" mode, navigate to "USB Switch" in the "Other Settings" menu of Clarity's main menu.
For example: if your computer is connected to Clarity via USB-C, you would select "Type-C" in the "USB Switch" menu.
This is enough to quickly recharge most laptops, although some high-performance or gaming laptops require more power when under load.
1. Remove the stand stem and base from their protective bags. Slot the stem onto the base and fasten via the thumb screw underneath the base.
2. Align the two latches at the top of the stand stem with the notches in your Clarity display, with the display still in the foam housing. Gently push the rear plate into Clarity, it will click into place.
3. Lift your monitor out of the foam, ensuring the display's weight remains supported.
Troubleshooting
DP Alt Mode compatible USB-C ports are sometimes marked with a "DP" symbol, but they are often identical to regular USB-C ports. If none of your USB-C ports have symbols next to them, you'll need to consult the product manual or the manufacturer's website to find out which ports are DP Alt Mode compatible.
If your computer does not support USB-C DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4, we recommend connecting via HDMI or DisplayPort. If your laptop does not support these, you can connect using an ALOGIC Universal Dock, which leverage DisplayLink technology to deliver video over non-DP Alt Mode USB-C connections.
1. You're connecting to Clarity with USB-C. HDR is only available when connected via HDMI or DisplayPort.
2. You're using the monitor in SRGB, Uniformity or Adobe RGB mode. Both of these video presets are designed to provide perfect colour reproduction over a limited colour gamut. HDR produces colours outside these limited gamuts and thus can't be used at the same time. You can re-enable HDR by switching back to "Standard" mode in the Professional Settings menu.
Reenable this in "Other Settings" menu to use this feature.
Ensure you connect the charging cable to a port on the laptop which supports charging.
Additionally, Clarity's speakers will not function if you have an audio device connected to Clarity's rear 3.5mm audio port.
