SPLIT-SCREEN STATION
Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 offers a split screen option on computers with
direct-video-connected stations or USB-zero client-connected stations. A split screen
provides the ability to create an additional station per monitor. Instead of requiring
two monitors, you can use one monitor with two station hub setups to create two
stations with one monitor. You can quickly increase the number of available stations
without purchasing additional monitors, USB-zero clients, or video cards.
Any MultiPoint Server station monitor that has a 1024x768 resolution or greater can
be split into two station screens. For the best split screen user experience, a wide
screen with a minimum 1600x900 resolution is recommended. A mini keyboard
without a number pad is also recommended to allow the two keyboards to fit in front
of the monitor.
To create split-screen stations, you set up one direct-video-connected or
USB-zero-client-connected station. Then you add an additional station hub by
plugging-in a keyboard and mouse to a USB hub that is connected to the server. You
can then convert the station into two stations by using MultiPoint Manager to split the
screen and map the new hub to half of the monitor. The left half of the screen
becomes one station and the right half becomes a second station.
After a station is split, one user can log on to the left station while another user logs
on to the right station.
