3.8 KVM input switching

About the KVM switch

The Nio Color 5.8MP can be used in dual workstation setup with KVM switch. This allows the display to be connected to two different workstations and control both with a single keyboard and mouse connected to the display. Switching the video and control signals between the two workstations is done with the KVM switch operated via the OSD menu.

Note: KVM input switching requires a specific display setup. For instructions, see “Dual workstation setup with KVM switch”.
To switch KVM inputs
  1. Press or turn the touch keyboard to activate the shortcut bar. The KVM switch icon () is selected by default when the KVM switch is enabled.
  2. Press the touch keyboard again to switch KVM inputs.
Tip: During normal operation, double-press the touch keyboard to switch KVM inputs more quickly. A first click will make the shortcut bar pop up, a second click will switch inputs (since the KVM switch icon is selected by default when the KVM switch is enabled).
Note: When switching KVM inputs, the video is switched instantly while switching the USB signal might take a little longer (up to 2 seconds).
