CrossDisplay-Switching - switching by mouse movement

At a workplace, several console modules are combined into a group. Only one module in the group is equipped with a keyboard and mouse; these input devices serve the entire workplace.

The mouse behaves as if on a virtual desktop and moves seamlessly across all connected monitors. When the mouse pointer leaves the monitor that currently holds the keyboard-mouse focus, the focus automatically moves to the console module of the target monitor – and therefore to the computer displayed there. The user works across several computers without having to deal with the underlying infrastructure. Hotkey switching remains available alongside.

• TradeSwitch-Function (TS-Function) in the KVM system
• An operating system with absolute mouse coordinates. Depending on the operating system and mouse driver, limitations may occur.

Monitor arrangement, relative monitor sizes and mouse speed are configured in the ConfigPanel. Besides a side-by-side arrangement, nearly any combination is supported, as are differing monitor sizes. Computers with multi-head graphics can be integrated.

• One set of keyboard and mouse for a workplace with several monitors and computers
• Switching without hotkeys, menus or additional operating steps
• A continuous working area spanning several computers
• Fewer input devices on the desk
