OSD settings
The OSD settings allow the user to customize their OSD hotkeys and the inactivity timeout. The
OSD inactivity time-out sets the time after which the OSD will be automatically dismissed if there is
no user keyboard or mouse activity. The receiver OSD supports a 24 hour inactivity time-out. A
value of zero (0) will disable the inactivity time-out.
The OSD hotkey is the shortcut key that the user presses on his keyboard to display the OSD. The
per-user OSD Hotkey setting applies only when that user is logged into a receiver. The default
Hotkey is set by the system administrator. When logged in, you can override the default using a
standard setting o r a custom keycode sequence. A custom sequence requires you to know the
USB keycode value(s) for your keyboard.
OSD F1-F12
The OSD F1-F12 is for creating action hotkeys for the receiver OSD. For example, you can set the
F1 key to connect to a specific target when logged into the OSD. You can create shortcut key
assignments so that when the OSD is displayed, you can press one of the F1 through F12 keys on
your keyboard to initiate a common action, such as connecting to a specified target. To create or
change a function key assignment, click Edit .
Settings – Receiver tab
The Receiver tab allows you to view and change some of the settings associated with the receiver
you are connected to.
NOTE: Only an Administrator can change these settings.
