5.5OSD Operation

5.5.1Overview

On Screen Display (OSD), provides a menu driven interface to handle the computer switching procedure. Although Hotkey switching still works, using OSD is a great deal more convenient - especially in large, daisy chained installations where it is difficult to keep track of which port a particular computer is attached to.

All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap either Ctrl key twice.
