Screen Capture
Switcher users can take screen captures of the Synergy SD control panel menus. The switcher saves
the screen capture as a 16K bitmap file, which you can then import into other applications on your PC.
Use the following procedure to capture a bitmap of the current display screen:
1. Insert a storage device into the Synergy control panel as follows:
• Insert a pre-formatted 1.4 MB high-density floppy disk into the disk drive of the
switcher.
OR
• If you have the USB Removable Media Drive option installed, insert a USB key
into the USB port of your switcher.
2. Navigate to the menu you wish to capture.
3. Simultaneously press the FADE RATE and ALL buttons in the STORE Area of the
Global Memory System Group .
The light on the drive will come on, the current menu freezes, and a popup message is
displayed indicating that you have saved a SCREENXX.BMP file to the storage device.
You can save from 00-99 files in sequence on a floppy disk.

4. On your computer, insert the storage device and open the files in any graphics
application that supports bitmap files to view, rename, and reformat the screen captures.
This completes the procedure for capturing a bitmap of the current display screen.
Caution Do NOT remove the floppy disk or USB key from the switcher before
the LED on the disk drive or USB port goes out. Doing so may destroy
the data on your floppy disk or USB key, as well as the data on the next
one you insert into the switcher.
