Chapter 5: The Video Viewer 65

NOTE: If the device does not support the ability to disconnect and reconnect the mouse (almost all newer PCs do), then the mouse will become disabled and the device will have to be rebooted.

Cursor Type

The Video Viewer window offers five appearance choices for the local mouse cursor. You can also choose no cursor or the default cursor.

Single cursor mode

In Single Cursor mode, the display of the local (second) cursor in the Video Viewer window turns off and only the target device mouse pointer is visible. The only mouse movements that appear are those of the target device remote cursor. Use Single Cursor mode when there is no need for a local cursor. Figure 5.3 shows both the Remote Cursor and the Local Cursor displayed in the Video Viewer window.

NOTE: When using a device that captures keystrokes before they reach the client, you should avoid using those keys to restore the mouse pointer.
