INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing ServSwitch 4site from Black Box. This product represents the latest state-of-the-art

technology in keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switching. The ServSwitch 4site‘s key advantage over conventional

KVM switches is that it allows you to simultaneously display and administer 4 computers on a single console.

DISPLAY MODES

QUAD MODE ►

In this mode, the screen is split into four ﬁelds of equal

size each displaying the entire screen contents of one

computer.

◄FULLSCREEN MODE

In Fullscreen mode, one of the four computer screens

is displayed in full screen size and maximum

resolution.

PiP MODE (Picture in Picture) ►

Using this feature, the full screen display of one of the

four video sources is accompanied by one to three small

images (thumbnails) of the other video sources which

are displayed on the right hand side of the screen allowing

simultaneous monitoring.

The different PiP display modes are described in chapter

OSD – MODE – PIP (pages 37 to 39).

◄DUAL MODE

In Dual mode the left halves of the fullscreen images

from two video sources are displayed side by side at

full size.

Additional button functions

Setting output resolution to safe display modes

To set output resolution to 640 x 480 pixel @ 60 Hz simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2 for longer than 1

second. Use of this feature is recommended when you cannot use the OSD (on screen display dark or illegible)

because the output resolution setting is not supported by the monitor. After setting the correct output resolution

(640x480@60), you can choose a resolution the connected monitor supports in the OSD.

Alternatively, hold buttons 1 and 2 again to cycle through the following four video modes: VGA 640x480@60,

SVGA 800x600@60, XGA 1024x768@60 and UXGA 1600x1200@60.
