Abstract
A connector adapted to detect a connective state is disposed in a monitor having a video input terminal and display. The detector detects the presence of an external video output connected to the video input terminal. When a video input it detected, a power controller enables the video display; however, if no connection is detected to the monitor input, power to the display is disabled. According to one embodiment the detector determines the connective state based on the presence of a video signal input from the video input terminal. In yet another embodiment the control signal terminal is provided for connection with a video camera. In addition, video operation switch and output for controlling the video camera are also provided. Finally, the monitor may include an infrared controller for sending control signals to control the operation of the video camera.
