OSD Operation

OSD Overview

The on-screen display (OSD) is a menu driven method to handle computer control and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD main screen.

To display the main screen, tap the OSD key (see page 59), or tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

Note: You can optionally change the hotkey to the [Ctrl] key, in which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice (see OSD Hotkey, page 26). With this method, the selected [Ctrl] key must be on the same side of the keyboard when tapped.

The OSD incorporates a two level (administrator / user) password system. Before the OSD main screen comes up, a login dialog box appears that asks you to provide your username and password. If the password function has been set, you must provide a valid username and password in order to access the OSD main screen.

If this is the first time that the OSD is being logged onto, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays in administrator mode. In this mode, you have administrator privileges, with access to all administrator and user functions, and can set up operations (including password authorization) as you would like.
