The OSD (On Screen Display) is a menu that is superimposed on your screen display. In the OSD menu, you
can see a listing of the available banks and channels for selection and the currently online status of each
channel. You can use the OSD to control Prima IP with more convenient and intuitive menu-driven operation.
The OSD menu allows you to rename your computer (up to 8 characters), and to find a specific computer by
its name. It also allows you to password-protect your Prima IP switch system.
OSD limitations
: We recommend you use the web management interface to name the computers instead of
the OSD because computer names can be 32-character wide when using the web management.
The computer names that have been defined in the web management are displayed by the OSD with some
limitations due to the small size and the limited set of OSD characters:
•
Names longer than eight characters are truncated.
•
Names are displayed in capital characters.
