INTRODUCTION

HSL Secure KVM Combiner

Interact with multiple computers presented on the same display at the same time using a single set of USB, audio, keyboard, video and mouse peripherals.

The KVM Combiner switch offered by HSL provides increased productivity in challenging multi-computer environments where users are required to view and interact with several computers at the same time while maintaining the highest isolation between computers and peripherals.

This guide instructs how to install, configure and operate a HSL KVM Combiner.

Step 4 – Configure Display Output

Important Notes:

1. It is highly recommended to use the same screen resolution set tings across all levels as described below.

Output Resolution (Match Monitor Resolution)

Channel Resolution (Match PC Resolution)

Computer Resolution = (Windows/Linux/Mac OS Screen Resolution)

#1 #2

#3 #4

Use the sa me screen r esolutio n across all l evel

#1 #2

#3 #4

2. Selecting a resolution that is not supported by your screen will result in a blank display which might require connecting a monitor that supports the selected resolution or resetting the combiner to factory default.

3. For working with dual displays, please refer to the appendix.

View applications in Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4K video quality.

• Never compromise on video quality.

• Run graphic-intensive, ultrahigh definition applications on all combiner models.

• Upscale source computers input to UHD 4K output.

Step 5 – Working with Dual Displays

Connecting two displays to the combiner’s console output ports allows working in Extended or Duplicate mode.

Note: Skip this section if your combiner m odel does not suppor t dual screens or you’ve connected only one display.

• Set Screen Duplication Mode: click Setup -> System -> Output Resolution and select Duplicate Displays.

In screen duplication mode all incoming sources are presented on the primar y display which is duplicated to a second display. This layout is ideal for meeting / control rooms and big screen T V projection scenarios.

• Set Screen Extending Mode: click Setup -> System -> Output Resolution and select Extend Displays.

In extended view mode the incoming channel presentation is split between two displays.

OPERATION

Operating the Combiner

Step 1 – Operation Modes Overview

Operation modes determine the device state.

In System mode combiner settings can be modified, the mouse is not passed-through to the source computers and the user can toggle between various channels and view layout modes (Scale/Tile/Custom) using the operation-taskbar, a mouse click, keyboard shortcuts or touch screen gestures. In system mode the user can’t interact with the source computers.

• System mode taskbar & mouse: an operation-taskbar appears

at the bottom of the screen and the mouse cursor is set to System mode (appears in blue).

• System mouse functionality: the mouse is used for operation-

purposes, such as, changing channels, toggling between view modes, entering the setup...etc. It can’t be used for interacting with sources.

• Setup menu: accessible through the lower left screen corner. Allows

configuring various system settings, such as, output resolution, screen duplication, cursor color and more.

Notes:

1. A complete list of toggling options is described further in this document.

2. When VDT is disabled and the combiner is set to User mode, th e mouse cursor will not move between screen board ers. To change sources, use toggling options.

• Operation-taskbar:

– Toggle between channels by clicking on a channel number. – Toggle between view modes by clicking Scale/Tile/Custom

menu buttons.

– Save custom screen layouts as presets by long-pressing the

1/2/3 buttons.

In User mode the user can simultaneously interact with multiple source computers at the same time using a single set of keyboard and mouse. The user can toggle between various channels and view layout modes (Scale/ Tile/Custom) using a mouse click, keyboard shortcuts or touch screen gestures.

• Cursor Navigation (Virtual Display Technology - VDT): With cursor navigation the user can move from one highly isolated computer system to another by simply moving the mouse cursor across display borders. No need to push any buttons. Audio and keyboard follow mouse as cursor crosses display borders.

Step 2 – View Modes Overview

View modes determine how multiple sources are presented on the combiner’s screen. Toggle bet ween view modes in a mouse click, using keyboard shortcuts or touch screen gestures.

• Tile View mode: In Tile mode all sources are spread equally on the

screen, the user can independently interact with each source and enlarge any given source to maximum screen size by clicking on it.

2.1 Active Source

Active source is the source that has current access to the combiner’s

peripherals (keyboard, mouse, audio and authentication-device).

The user can select which source will be active in various ways including a mouse click, keyboard shortcuts, touch screen gestures and by using the combiner’s front panel push buttons.

OPERATION

Step 3 – Toggling Options

Once you have connected all the sources and completed the initial steps, you can start working with the combiner. The next section explains how to switch between operation modes and operate the combiner using its versatile view and control options.

Important Notes:

1. A complete list of toggling options is described further in this document.

2. Always use the left control key (CTRL) unless otherwise specified.

3. Do not use the numeric keypad for toggling shortcuts unless otherwise specified.

4. ALL KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS REFER TO QWERTY K EYBOARDS. In case a nonqwerty keyboard is in use, keep using the QWERTY layout. For example, in AZERTY keyboard, where the let ter A is equivalent to the location of the letter Q on a QWERTY keyboard, type { CTRL | CTRL | a } to switch to tile view.
