Hot-key commands
Hot-key command is a short key board sequence to select a computer,
to activ ate computer scan, etc. NovaView interprets keystrokes f or
hot-keys all the time. A hot-key sequence starts with two left
<CTRL> keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A
built-in buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key
command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep f or error and the bad key
sequence will not be f orwarded to the selected computer.
The short f orm hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD f unction
(<F4>:more\Hotkey Menu) ev ery time the left <CTRL> key is pressed
twice.
L-CTRL: is the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the
key board.
1~8/A~H: are the number keys '1' ~ '8' at the upper row of the
key board and character keys 'A' ~ 'H' case
insensitive. Do not use the keypad at the right of
the keyboard.

To select a computer by hot-key command, y ou must know its
channel address, which is determined by the Nov aView
connection. For a computer connected to a Master, its address
is represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a
computer connected to a Slave, two characters represent its
address. The first character is the channel address of the Master
unit (1~8) and the second one is the channel address of the Slave
(1~8 or A~H). Please note that only Master's 'PC 1' ~'PC 8' ports
can be connected to a Slave.
