Keyboard Switching

One of the ways to change the active channel in a non-secured AutoView 424

system is by entering a short sequence of keystrokes on the keyboard. This is

called keyboard, hotkey or soft switching. In addition, there are a variety of

commands that can be activated via the keyboard without having to access the

OSD. The following procedures and tables describe your options.

NOTE: Hotkey switching is only available in the default non-secure state. For more information on
secure versus non-secure operation, see the Setting User Station Security section of this chapter.

Using the Command Mode

The first set of keystrokes places your system in Command Mode. A gray

window with a command line will appear. As long as you are operating in

Command Mode, whatever you type will be interpreted as channel switch

commands until the Enter or the Escape key is pressed to terminate Command

Mode. None of the keystrokes entered will be forwarded to the attached

computer until you exit Command Mode.
