Pressing [F2] initiates the Quick View Scan Mode, in which the OSD cycles through all the ports that have been selected for Quick View Scanning (see F4 on page 11), and displays each one for the amount of time set with the Set Scan Duration function (see F6 on page 11). When you want to stop at a particular location, press any key to stop scanning.

To recover, key in the Hot Key sequence (see Hot Key Selection, above), for any Port ID that has an active PC attached.
