About The Video Viewer

The Video Viewer can be launched from the web interface or the Network Access Software. When you connect to a target device using the Video Viewer, the desktop of the target device is visible in a separate Video Viewer window. You can see both the local cursor and the target device cursor.

From this window, you can access all the normal functions of this target device as if you were sitting in front of it. You can also perform viewer-specific tasks such as sending macro commands to the target device.

You can open the Video Viewer for target devices on APC 2x1x16 Digital KVM switches (AP5610).

If the target device you are attempting to access is currently being viewed by another user, you have several options depending on your access rights. If you are an administrator, you can share the session, preempt the session or observe the session in stealth mode.
