Plug-and-Play
DDC (Direct Data Channel) is a standard by which a compatible 
monitor sends its identification and other parameters to a PnP 
operating system such as Windows XP etc. The AC506A does not 
switch the PNP signal lines to the PC. This means that, in some 
instances, you may have to select a new monitor or video settings on 
your PC. Also notice that most Notebook PC's have a special function 
key to activate the external video output connector
