2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The ServSwitch 4site Flex enables you to simultaneously display and manage four computers on a single console. It combines key features of a high-end Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switch and a digital multiviewer, scaling and converting videos at both inputs and output.

Display Modes

There are four display modes: Quad mode, Full-Screen mode, PiP mode, and Win mode.

Quad mode: In this mode, the screen is split into four fields of equal size, each displaying the entire screen contents of one source.

NOTE: If only (2) channels are active, you can go dual-screen instead of quad-screen. To do this, press the quad-screen button when only (2) channels are available.

Figure 2-1. Quad mode screen.

Full-Screen mode: In Full-Screen mode, one of the four sources is displayed in full-screen size and maximum resolution.
