3.9.3 TURNING ON OR OFF MONITOR SYNCHRONIZATION

The monitor synchronization can be turned on and off. When enabled, the refresh rate of the graphics card of the PC and that of the remote monitor are adjusted to match one another. The advantage of this is to ensure that transmission remains smooth when the screen content changes rapidly (e.g. When using multimedia applications). Not all monitors support this method so by default this option is disabled.

3.10 SWITCHING BETWEEN DIFFERENT COMPUTERS

The menu for switching between different computers is accessible via a USB keyboard connected to the remote unit.

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F12 (this is the default keyboard shortcut but may be changed. See "How to change keyboard shortcuts"). The switching menu opens. The switching menu lists all the local units connected to the switching network.

2. Blue indicates the computer with which you are currently connected. The status is listed as "conn'd".

3. White indicates a computer which is currently connected to by another work station (Remote unit). The status is listed as "in use".
4. Green indicates a computer in the switching network that isn't connected to any work station (Remote unit). The status is listed as "free".

5. Red indicates a computer which was once in the switching network but isn't currently available. This usually indicates that the Extender has been disconnected from the network. If this is the case the computer can be removed from the switching menu with the "delete" key.

6. Use the arrow up and arrow down keys, or PGUP and PGDOWN keys, to select a local extender. Press enter. The system switches to the selected computer.

- The left column defines the favourites menu and provides each computer with a favourite number. Each favourite number corresponds to a hot-key combination that can be used to quickly connect to the desired computer without having to access the switching menu. For example favourite "1" has the hot-key combination "Ctrl+Alt+F1" For favourite "2" this is "Ctrl+Alt+F2" and so on up to favourite "8" with "Ctrl+Alt+F8". All other computers can still be accessed via the switching menu. To change the order of the computers in this list, select the computer then press a number key 1 through 8 to shift it to that number.

- If the password system is active, the user currently logged in is displayed at the bottom. You can manually logout by pressing the "x" key or disconnect from the current PC by pressing the „d" key.

3.11 SHARING VIDEOS

The Video Sharing option allows you to share your screen with other users on the network. Ensure that the switch you are using has IGMP Snooping capabilities, and that this is turned on (most switches have this off by default).

What happens with the control over the local extender depends on the initial state. There are two main use-cases which can both be controlled in the MASTER VIEW connections overview menu. Note that this capability is not available in combination with the password security system.

To share a video:

1. Make sure the main menu is open.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F10. The MASTER VIEW connections overview menu opens.
3. Choose one of the following:

• To mirror a screen to other consoles:

- Press the P key on the keyboard of the extender that should display the user's screen. In this case „P“ stands for „push to screen“. Such a command is only valid if the console which initiates the mirroring is currently connected to a local unit and has video and the other remote unit is “free” (marked green).

- To see the screen of other consoles on the network:

- Press the G key on the keyboard of the extender that should display the user's screen. The key „G“ stands for „get screen“. If the console unit from which this command is executed currently has a partner, a disconnect is executed before the video of the other local unit is displayed. If the selected local extender currently isn't connected, a regular connection including USB, etc. is established.
