LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen Installation and Use Page 26
3.4 Switching operation
When you select a port, your keyboard and mouse will control the computer that is
connected to that port and the video feeds from that that computer will be displayed
on the monitors. For example, if you select channel 2 then the video signal arriving
at port 2A will be sent to the monitor that is attached to port A. Video arriving at
ports 2B, 2C and 2D will be displayed on the monitors attached to ports B, C and D
respectively.
3.5 Keyboard hotkey control
LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen can be conveniently controlled by selecting channel,
autoscan mode or security locking from the keyboard. All of the hotkey control
commands are invoked by holding down the two hotkeys and then pressing a
command key. By default, the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other
combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 4.4). Once
the hotkey command has been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and
the command key before a new hotkey command is accepted by the LINDY CPU
Switch Multiscreen. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to 'tab
through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB.
The hotkey command are summarised below (note that the numbers on the numeric
keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey) :
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - selects channel 1
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ - selects channel 2
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘3’ - selects channel 3
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘4’ - selects channel 4
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ - selects the next channel
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘A’ - selects autoscan mode where each channel is displayed for
the selected time (see section 4.2). To cancel autoscan mode simply select any
fixed channel either by hotkey or using the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen button.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’ – switches off the video signal and displays 0. This will cause
some monitors to go into standby mode or switch off. The video signal can be re-
enabled by selecting a channel.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘L’ - disables the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen’s keyboard and
