quickly select a chosen computer without activating the on-screen menu. See
section 4.8 for full details on using keyboard hotkeys to control the AdderView. We
do not normally recommend that you disable the hotkeys but if you choose to do this
then you will need to access the on-screen menu using the AdderView's front panel
controls.
3.6.4 KEYPAD CONTROLS
Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
The key controls on the front of the AdderView may be disabled so that it is only
possible to select the special channels "o" and "0" (the on-screen menu and the
non-existent channel zero).
3.6.5 EXCLUSIVE USE
Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS
Settings: ALLOWED, DISABLED
In normal operation, the AdderView will allow two or more users to share access to a
computer. In this mode, the computer's video picture will be displayed on all the
user's monitors but only one user may have active control of the computer's
keyboard and mouse at any one time. The AdderView detects an active user by
looking for keyboard and mouse data. A user becomes inactive if no keyboard or
mouse data has been received by the AdderView for a specified timeout period.
Whilst one user is active all the other users that are connected to the same
computer will see a "video only" message displayed on their screen.
There may be situations where particular users want to be able to control and view
their computers in private with exclusive use. The AdderView has the facility to allow
users to select exclusive use of computers but this facility should be used with care.
When exclusive use is requested the video from the selected computer is only
available to the user with exclusive access. Users that have selected exclusive
access are never timed out by the AdderView and so all other users are effectively
"locked out" until the exclusive user switches to another computer or logs out. This
could potentially be very irritating if a user has selected exclusive use and has then
left their desk without logging out. This would prevent other users from working on
the computer until they came back. Consequently the system administrator can
disable all exclusive use so that all connections are shared.
