On-Screen Display

The Avocent

Matrix Switching System incorporates an On-Screen Display (OSD), allowing you to

manage the receiver and any connected transmitter from the local keyboard and mouse. You can

also login to the OSD from Extended Mode. The OSD is displayed on a monitor connected to a

receiver. It has a list of available targets to which the user can connect. T he OSD supports user

defined hotkeys and favorites for frequently used actions.

NOTE: You will need to log out of the OSD when switching to or from Extended Mode.

The OSD will be positioned in the center of the screen and will be one of two sizes depending on

current receiver resolution. The sizes are 640x480 and 960x720. The resolution used will be the

preferred resolution of the monitor as identified by the monitor EDID. If the monitor EDID is not

available, then the OSD will be 640x480 @ 60 Hz (VGA). If there is no video connection to a target,

the OSD will use the display resolution on the receiver.

From a receiver, press Print Screen to access the OSD. The default hotkey can be configured at

the system level and for each user. Print Screen is the default.

NOTE: When making changes in the OSD, the * on the tab indicates a change has been made that has not

been saved.
