7. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation

7.1 OSD Overview

The On Screen Display (OSD) is used for all computer control and switching procedures. All
procedures start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, hold down the [Fn] key
and tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.
Note: You can change the Hotkey from the [Scroll Lock] key to the [Ctrl] key (see OSD Hotkey, page 16. In
this case you tap the [Ctrl] key twice. The same [Ctrl] keys must be used (ie. both the left and the right).
The OSD uses a two-level (Administrator / User) password system. Before the OSD Main Screen
appears, a dialog box asks for your password. If the password function has been set, a password
must be entered in order to access the system.
If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password function has not been set,
simply press [Enter] to proceed. The OSD Main Screen comes up in Administrator Mode. In this
mode, you have administrator privileges, with access to all Administrator and User functions. In
addition, you can set up operations including password authorization for the future.
When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to the one above appears:
Note: 1. The diagram depicts the Administrator's Main Screen. The User Main Screen does have the F4 and
F6 functions, since they can't be accessed by ordinary Users and are reserved for the Administrator.
2. OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was when it was last
closed.
3. Only the ports that have been set accessible by the Administrator for the currently logged in User are
visible (see SET ACCESSIBLE PORTS, page 18, for details).
