Master View is a controller for that will allow one user to access multiple computers. Before, the costly network was the only solution for this application. Now, th e Master View provides the easiest and the most cost-effective way of accessing multiple computers.

With the powerful features of Master View, anyone is capable of operating or testing many computers with one of each, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. Switching from one computer to another is accomplished quickly and easily, either by using Hot Keys or pressing a button on the Master View. No additional programs to install and no problems with compatability, because the Master View intercepts the Hot Keys directly from the keyboard.

One Master View unit will control up to four computers. When used together, or cascaded, the Master View can control up to 64 computers. A powerful auto-scan feature scans all operational computers one at a time and will stop upon the users request. Master View is ideal for Server, Control Room, Testing , etc.
