Operation

Power and activity indicators

On the front panels of all modules are small recessed indicators which provide confirmation of power and activity for each channel, as follows:

•Constant red - power applied, no communication activity.

•Flickering red - power applied, mouse or keyboard activity occuring.

General use

In use, the X2 Multi Screen modules should be almost transparent - the system and its peripherals should operate almost exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are duplicated (see ‘User arbitration’ below) and one set is now up to 200 metres away.

User arbitration and keyboard indicators

During operation, both of the connected video monitors continuously receive the output from the host system. Control of the host system is arbitrated by the X2 Multi Screen modules on a first come, first served basis. In the idle state, control is available to both users and their keyboard indicators both show the current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host system.

At the moment that a key is pressed or a mouse is moved,

Note: All modules contain internal automatic cut-out fuses to protect against power surges. To reset, remove power (or, for the LOCAL module, the multi- cable connection) from the module for one second and then reconnect.

the keyboard and mouse of the other user are temporarily locked-out (the video images remain). The keyboard

indicators of the locked-out user then begin to flash to confirm their status ð

After two seconds of inactivity from the user

currently in control, the modules return to their idle condition and re-instate the keyboard indicators of the locked-out user.

Visible image shadows

In some installations, you may see some ‘shadows’ to the right of high contrast screen characters. This can be caused by an incorrectly selected sharpness setting and it may be necessary to make adjustments to correct this. Please see ‘Image controls - sharpness and brightness’ in the ‘Special configuration’ section.
