OSD Operation
On Screen Display (OSD), provides a menu driven interface to handle the PC switching procedure. While

switching still works, using OSD is a great deal more convenient - especially in large, daisy chained installations.
All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap either of the
Ctrl
keys twice:
