USB Selection

Select the USB upstream signals from the list: DP, mDP 
and HDMI, thus the monitor’s USB downstream port (eg. 
keyboard and mouse) can be used by the current input 
signals when connecting a computer to either one of the 
upstream ports.
The display and USB upstream ports connection can be 
changed by selecting the input source function.
When you use only one upstream port, the connected 
upstream port is active.
