Figure 65. Setting Up Multi-Screen Control through the OSD
To configure Multi-Screen Control through the OSD, proceed as follows.
1. Select the desired configuration layout for the CON Device in the Arrangement field
(1 x 4 or 2 x 2). The fields for the configuration of the individual displays will be arranged
accordingly.
2. Activate the Manual option if switching is to be restricted to keyboard commands. More information
on this is in the Multi-Screen Control topic of the Operations section. Manual switching should be
used when multi-head CPU devices are in use.
3. Ensure that the Enabled option is set to Y on all displays in order to include them in Multi-Screen
Control.
4. Select one or more Control displays within the CON Device by setting the Control function to Y in
the display field. Control displays are those extender units within the Multi-Screen Control that
have a keyboard and mouse connected. These extender units have the ability to control the Multi-
Screen setup through the connected keyboard and mouse.
5. The Owner function is used to designate a control display that will own the Multi-Screen setup, in
that its attached keyboard and mouse will be used to switch between the displays. Enable the
Owner function on that display from the list of screens. To make a display accessible to all
neighboring control displays, set the Owner function to shared.
6. Use the Frame function to configure a red frame that shows the current display with mouse control
after the expiration of a selectable timer. The frame to fade in can be individually activated by using
a timer value greater than 0 seconds.
