Page 18: Switching Methods
Description Draco MultiView 4K 3.2.5 Switching Methods In this user manual, we use two terms to describe switching methods with different results. When using the Draco MV as video multi viewer without using keyboard and mouse, focusing on another input is the relevant switching method (see chapters 12, 13 and 14, pages 165, 166 and 173). When using USB-HID control, depending on the selected display mode, it is possible to stream the video signal of an input to a focused window (in the foreground or on the main window) and have the current USB-HID control on another window (controlled window) at the same time.
Page 19: Transmitted Signals
Draco MultiView 4K Description 3.2.6 Transmitted Signals Output Function Video The video signals of all sources are simultaneously streamed to the Draco MV and the windows on the monitor(s) depending on the selected display mode. The monitors of the secondary video/audio board can have a different resolution than the monitors of the primary board.

Draco MultiView 4K Description Display Modes, Display Options and Switching Methods For an easier understanding, in the figures shown in this chapter, the associated window of the input with USB-HID control is illustrated with a colored frame (enabled Active Source Frame option, see chapter 6.2.5, page 80 or chapter 7.4.6, page 122) except for the mirrored Fullscreen display mode that comes without this option.
Page 22 Description Draco MultiView 4K Switching of the USB-HID Control When switching the USB-HID control to another input in Fullscreen Mode with two selected inputs the internal window arrangement remains with focused window. For instance, when switching the USB-HID control from input 1 to input 4, the mouse can be used within the associated window.
Page 23 Draco MultiView 4K Description Focusing on two other Inputs When focusing on two other inputs in Fullscreen Mode, the window arrangement changes. For instance, when selecting two different inputs, in the window arrangement, the inputs are assigned to the main output (focused input) and to the output 2.
