Chapter 4
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 pop up the Main Screen, tap the OSD key (see Dedicated Invocation Keys, page 68), or tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.
Note: You can optionally change the OSD Hotkey from the Scroll Lock key to the Ctrl key, in which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice (see OSD HOTKEY, page 32). With this method, the Ctrl keys must be on the same side (both left, or both right).
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 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 run, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD Main Screen comes up 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 for the future), as you would like.
