Multi-Observe with System Status Indicators

With Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can observe up to 50 screens simultaneously,
so you quickly understand what’s happening on your network. The multi-observe
window allows you to specify the number of remote computer screens to display in
one window. If you have more computers on your network than you wish to view in
the multi-observe window, you can page through their screens based on an adjustable
timer setting. As with the control and observe windows, you can specify the color
depth at which the remote screens are displayed.
