Multi-Screen Control
CON devices with more than one assigned video display can be configured to use Multi-Screen Control. This
feature allows switching between up to four CPU devices by simply moving the mouse cursor beyond the edge
of the current display to an adjacent display. Multi-Screen switching can also be done with keyboard
commands. The monitors can be arranged side-by-side in a 1 x 4 array, or in a 2 x 2 grid layout.
The Extender Units assigned to the multi-display CON Device must be physically connected to the same block
of four ports on a matrix I/O board, in order for the Con Device to be eligible for Multi-Screen Control.
CON Units that have been already configured for Multi-Screen Control can be connected together to other
blocks of 4 ports. In this case, any further configuration is not necessary; their functionality will remain as set
previously.
When using CPU devices with multi-head video output (e.g. dual-head), switching should only be done via
keyboard commands, or the stability of the system may be impaired. CON Units with the ability to connect a
local source (computer, CPU) will have switching to the local source disabled if used in a Multi-Screen Control
environment.
This screen can be accessed from the OSD and the Java Tool.
