FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 12G-SDI port?

The 12G-SDI port allows for the transmission of uncompressed 4K video signals at up to 60Hz directly from professional cameras or other SDI-equipped devices, offering high bandwidth, low latency, and a reliable connection essential for on-set production.

Can this monitor be used for general office tasks?

Yes, while designed for professional creators, its 4K resolution, IPS panel, and eye-care technologies make it excellent for general use, offering sharp text and vibrant images for everyday computing.

Does the monitor have built-in speakers?

No, the ASUS ProArt PA16USV does not have built-in speakers. You will need to use external speakers or headphones for audio output.

What is the difference between Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP)?

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) displays a secondary input source in a smaller window within the main display. Picture-by-Picture (PbP) displays multiple input sources side-by-side, allowing you to view them simultaneously.

How do I use the USB-C port for both video and power?

Connect the monitor to a compatible USB-C source device that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery. The monitor can then receive video signal and power through a single USB-C cable, provided the source device can supply sufficient power.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

The ASUS ProArt PA16USV monitor comes with a manufacturer's 3-year warranty.

Can I mount this monitor on a tripod?

Yes, the monitor features dual ¼" threaded sockets on the top and bottom, allowing for easy and secure mounting on standard tripods for flexible positioning.

What does 'Calman Verified' mean?

Calman Verified indicates that the monitor has undergone rigorous testing by Portrait Displays' Calman system to ensure its color accuracy meets professional standards, providing confidence in its color reproduction capabilities.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on screen

Ensure all cables are securely connected at both ends. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Check that the connected device is powered on and outputting a signal. If using USB-C for video and power, confirm the source device supports DP Alt Mode and sufficient power output.

Poor color reproduction or inaccurate colors

Verify that the monitor's color settings match your workflow requirements. Ensure the source device's color settings are appropriate. Recalibrate the monitor using a colorimeter if necessary. Check that HDR settings are correctly configured on both the monitor and the source device.

Screen flickering or visual artifacts

Try a different cable or port for the connection. Lower the screen resolution or refresh rate if it exceeds the monitor's capabilities. Check for driver updates on the connected computer. Ensure the 12G-SDI cable is a high-quality, compatible type for the given resolution and frame rate.

USB hub not working

Ensure the USB-C cable used for connection supports data transfer and is connected to the upstream USB-C port. Try connecting peripherals directly to the source device to test them. Restart the monitor and the connected computer.

Monitor not recognized by computer

If connecting via USB-C, ensure that DisplayPort Alternate Mode is enabled on the computer's USB-C port. Try a different USB-C port if available. If connecting via HDMI, ensure the HDMI output is enabled in the computer's display settings.
