SmartView Multiscreen Installation and Use Page 6
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the SmartView Multiscreen. Your SmartView Multiscreen
is a high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse (KVM) sharing device
which supports a wide range of PC hardware and software platforms. The
Multiscreen is a new concept in KVM switches and enables you to benefit from all
the convenience of the proven SmartView switches whilst taking advantage of the
multiple monitor facilities available on many modern computers.
Computers fitted with multiple video cards are becoming more common as operating
systems have developed to make use of the extended video "real estate" offered by
multiple monitors. The increased display area enables more information to be
presented to the user without reducing the resolution. The Multiscreen enables
several computers equipped with these multiple video facilities to be controlled from
a keyboard, mouse and an array of monitors. All the monitors and the keyboard and
mouse are switched together from one computer to the next giving you full control of
the wider picture.
