5.9.7 Multi-Screen Control
This menu configures the USB-HID switching operation, allowing a CON
Device with several monitors to control several connected sources
(computers, CPUs). Smooth switching can be performed for up to four
connected sources by dragging the mouse pointer beyond the respective
monitor to an adjacent one.
Monitors can be arranged side-by-side or in a grid layout.
When using sources (computers, CPUs) in multi-head operation (e.g.
dual-head), switching only works manually via keyboard commands. Non-
compliance may have a negative influence on the stability of the system.
When using CON Units with the possibility to connect a local source
(computer, CPU) in a Multi-Screen Control environment, the local
switching will be disabled.
In order to enable Multi-Screen Control, all Extender Units assigned to the
related CON Device, must be physically connected to the same block of
4 ports on the I/O board of the matrix.
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.
You have the following options to access the menu:
