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

Pressing [F1] allows you to switch directly to a port by the following methods:
a)Move the Highlight Bar to the desired port and press [Enter] or Double Click with the left mouse button.
b)Key in the Port ID or Name, then press [Enter].
Note: GoTo narrows the list of available choices as you type the name. For example, if the first letter you type is a, the list only displays those ports whose names begin with “a”. If the next letter you type is “b”, the list is further narrowed down to only those ports whose names begin with ab, etc.
