MCD-LED Display's OSD Menu

You can customize the video properties of the LED display of a MCD

‑

LED KVM drawer by configuring the

OSD menu for the LED LCD display.

In the following context, the name 'LED OSD' refers to the OSD menu for the LED display, not the OSD

for channel selection and system settings.

Note: The OSD settings described in this chapter are different from those for channel selection and

system settings, which are described in the chapter titled

Using the On-Screen Display Interface

(on

page 31).
