Multi-Observe
Apple Remote Desktop 2 lets you observe up to 50 screens simultaneously, so it’s
easy to stay on top of what’s happening on your network. The new multi-observe
window allows you to specify the number of remote VNC-enabled computer screens
to display in one window—up to 50 screens simultaneously. If you have more com-
puters on your network than you wish to view in the multi-observe window, you can
page through their screens based on an adjustable timer setting. As with the control
and observe windows, you can specify the color depth at which the remote screens
are displayed.

screen and initiate a full control session. Or you can select all screens and lock them.
4. Number of screens. Adjust the number of screens that are visible in the window,
from one computer to 50.

can adjust how often to page to the next group of screens.
