Switching
The Multi-View KVMP™ Switch supports group switching and independent
switching:

Group switching: switches to the KVM (keyboard, video, mouse), audio,
and USB sources of one computer.

Independent switching: switches to KVM (keyboard, video, mouse),
stereo audio, and USB sources independently, on different computers. This
allows you to work on one computer (KVM), access the audio on another
(stereo audio), and connect to peripheral devices on a third (USB).
Note:
By default, the CM1284’s Display 2 shows a video that is shown on
Display 1, or of the focused video on Display 1 when Display 1 is in
a multi-view mode. To have Display 2 show video of a particular
computer regardless of the focused video on Display 1, configure
the
Display B Status
setting in the OSD.
