4.5 OSD Operation
4.5.1 Overview
On Screen Display (OSD), provides a menu driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure. Although Hotkey switching still works, using OSD is
a great deal more convenient - especially in large, daisy chained installations
where it is difficult to keep track of which port a particular computer is attached to.
All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap either
Ctrl
key twice.
