Switching between computers

Basic switching options

There are three main ways to switch between the computers attached

to your AdderView Omega:

• Omega button – Press and release this

button to change channels.

• Keyboard keys – Use key combinations to change channels – the

most basic combination is . Please refer to the

‘Hotkeys’ section below.

• Mouse buttons – Use the buttons of a three-button mouse (or a

mouse with a scroll wheel) to change channels – the most basic

combination is:

• Press and hold the central mouse button (or the scroll wheel),

press the left mouse button and then release both.

Whichever of the above methods that you use, the AdderView Omega

computer to the other. The relevant channel indicator on the

AdderView Omega will light and will flicker whenever you type or use

the mouse.

Hotkeys

The and the keys, when used in combination, are known as

‘Hotkeys’. They signal to the AdderView Omega that you wish to talk

to it (using the keyboard) rather than the computer. The AdderView

Omega’s standard hotkeys are set at manufacture to be the and

keys.

However, you may find that the standard hotkeys interfere with other

devices or software used with your computer(s). In such cases, you can

change the hotkeys to a different combination of two keys, such as

and or even a single key such as the right button. Please

refer to the ‘Configuration’ section within the ‘Special features’

chapter for more information.

to replace these with the chosen new hotkeys.

Indications

Your AdderView Omega has two

indicators and these are used

during normal use to show which

channel is currently in use.

However, to identify other

conditions, these indicators

(sometimes in conjunction with

the keyboard indicators) may show the following:

• No AdderView Omega indicators lit – Either both computers are

switched off, or channel isolation mode is selected (this is achieved

by pressing ).

• One AdderView Omega indicator lit – Normal operation, shows

the selected channel.

• One AdderView Omega indicator lit but intermittently flickering

off – Normal operation, shows the selected channel and that

information is being received for it from the keyboard and/or

mouse.

• One AdderView Omega indicator lit or flickering and the other

indicator flashing briefly every few seconds – Normal operation,

the lit/flickering channel is currently selected for keyboard video

and mouse, however, audio is switched to the other channel

(signified by the occasionally flashing indicator).

• One AdderView Omega indicator flashes on intermittently - The

AdderView Omega is in automatic screen saver mode. The

AdderView Omega will automatically ‘wake up’ and activate the

video as soon as it senses any keyboard or mouse activity.

• Both AdderView Omega indicators lit – Configuration mode. The

keyboard indicators show the progress of configuration

information being entered – please refer to the ‘Configuration’

section in the ‘Special features’ chapter.

• Both AdderView Omega indicators slowly and regularly flashing

alternately (keyboard indicators also flash alternately) – Keyboard

and mouse are password protected – please refer to the ‘Using a

password’ section in the ‘Special features’ chapter.

• Both AdderView Omega indicators slowly and regularly flashing in

unison – Flash upgrade mode. The AdderView Omega is waiting

for data download to begin or complete.
