The keyboard hotkeys are special combinations of keys that, when used together with certain keyboard “command keys”, perform special MC5 functions. For example, pressing the hotkeys together with the “M” key will cause the on- screen menu to be displayed on your monitor.

Exclusive Use
Settings: ALLOWED, DISABLED
In normal operation, the MC5 will allow two or more users to share access to a computer. In this mode, the computer’s video picture will be displayed on all the users’ monitors but only one user may have active control of the computer’s keyboard and mouse at any one time. The MC5 detects an active user by checking for keyboard and mouse data.
A user becomes inactive if no keyboard or mouse data has been received by the MC5 for a specified timeout period. Whilst one user is active all the other users that are connected to the same computer will see a “video only” message displayed on their screen. There may be situations where particular users wish to control and view a computer in private with exclusive use. The MC5 has the facility to allow users to select exclusive use of computers, however, this facility should be used with care.
Users that have selected exclusive access are never timed out by the MC5 and so all other users are effectively “locked out” until the exclusive user switches to another computer or logs out. This could potentially be very irritating if a user has selected exclusive use and has then left their desk without logging out. This would prevent other users from working on the computer until they came back. Consequently the system administrator can disable all exclusive use so that all connections are shared.
