3.6.9 AUTOSCAN MODE

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: ACTIVE, ALL

The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO supports an autoscan mode that automatically scans between the connected computers in sequence. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO can be set to scan ALL the available computers or just the available computers that are currently powered on (the ACTIVE computers). Scanning just the active computers avoids blank screens from being displayed and stops the monitor from going into a power down state on every scan cycle.

WARNING - Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not set the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to scan ALL ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor's relay will eventually damage your monitor.

3.6.10 AUTOSCAN TIME

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 SECONDS

The autoscan time defines the length of time that the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will display video from an autoscanned computer before changing to the next computer. If the DISABLED setting is chosen then no autoscan functions will be available.

3.6.11 OSD DWELL TIME

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 SECONDS

After a successful computer channel change the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will display a confirmation message for a few seconds. The length of time that this confirmation message dwells on the screen may be changed. Options are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 seconds.
