General
The key difference between Clarity and Clarity Pro is that Pro has an 8MP webcam built into the monitor.
This smart webcam automatically slides up from the top when you start a video call, then slides back down when the call ends, keeping the lens clean and protecting your privacy.
Clarity Pro Touch has both the inbuilt webcam and a ‘one-glass solution’ 10-point touchscreen.
The formula is: Clarity (4K studio-quality monitor) + Pro (smart inbuilt webcam) + Touch (touchscreen).
There’s one other difference between Clarity and Pro/Pro Touch – they can’t charge your computer quite as fast, with only 65W passthrough charging compared to Clarity’s 90W. This is because 25W need to be reserved for the webcam.
However, it does need to plug into a USB-C port compatible with PD (Power Delivery) on your computer.
These can sometimes be identified by the presence of a battery icon next to the port on your laptop, but often you’ll need to check the user manual or manufacturer’s website to figure out which USB-C ports support PD.
All Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports support PD.
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.
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. 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. Lift your monitor out of the foam, ensuring the display's weight remains supported.
Troubleshooting
To resolve the issue, restart Clarity by pressing the power button twice – it should recognize the connected device as part of its boot-up sequence.
Connect Clarity directly to your computer
Try connecting with a different cable or port.
ie. Use DisplayPort instead of USB-C
Update your computer’s operating system.
If your problem reoccurs and these these steps do not help resolve it, please contact ALOGIC support (support@alogic.co).
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.
Webcam
As a result, the webcam will work with any program attempting to access a webcam.
This includes videoconfering programs such as:
Microsoft Teams
Skype
Google Meet
Slack
Cisco Webex
Zoom
GoTo Meeting
As well as livestreaming programs like:
Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)
Xplit
Streamlabs
Open a program which requires the webcam – on Windows 11 we recommend the “Camera” app or “Photo Booth” on macOS.
Open this application and switch the active camera to Clarity Pro’s – this can be done via the “Camera” menu in Photo Booth or hitting the “Switch Camera” button in Camera – see below.
Once you’ve activated Clarity Pro’s webcam, it will slide up out of the monitor. You can now adjust its vertical framing using the scroll wheel on the rear of the camera.
Then you need to ensure that's the active USB port is set to the same - either USB-C or USB-B. This can be set via the "USB-Switch" setting of the monitor's "USB Options" menu.
If these two are correct and your can't see your Clarity Pro's webcam listed in your system's available webcams (listed as either 27C4KPDW or 27C4KPDWT), restart the monitor and your computer.
If the webcam still doesn't appear, please contact ALOGIC support: support@alogic.co and we'll help you resolve your issue.
2 Then ensure that any program accessing your webcam has been closed. This can include messaging, livestreaming, audio recording and video capture applications.
3 Ensure Claritys active USB is set to the USB cable connecting your computer and Clarity, USB-C or USB-B. You can find this option in Clarity's menu by navigating to USB-Options --> USB Switch.
4 If Clarity's webcam doesn't retract after closing these programs - try reconnecting Clarity to your computer by unplugging and replugging the cord.
5 If this doesn't work, try reboot Clarity, then your computer.
6Try plugging connecting Clarity to a different computer.
7If Clarity's webcam is still stuck in the out-position, please contact our expert technical support at support@alogic.co for advice on next steps.
Video
To enable HDR, open Clarity's Home Menu and navigate to Picture Settings, then HDR.
Clarity has three HDR modes you can choose from:
1. HDR
2. STANDARD
3. HDR MOVIE HDR DESIGN
We reccomend HDR Standard for regular use or the viewing of images, HDR Movie for enjoying HDR-compatible movies and video games, and HDR Design for work where colour accuracy is important.
