Description
1.1
General information
The TripleMUX and QuadMUX allow you to manage up to four (4) computers
using one keyboard and one mouse, and up to three or four parallel screens.
Each of the 4 computers can be equipped with a Triple or Quad video card. All
four channels on this card can be switched.
The following variants are available (the differences lie in the type of graphics
card fitted in the computer).

QuadMUX

As all the products differ only in the type of graphics card in the computer
connected, it is normally the TripleMUX that is being referred to in this manual.
The option for scene switching means that the images from the various video
sources on one or more computers can be switched to the four monitors
connected, according to the user's requirements.
This video scene can be freely assigned the operation of one of the
computers shown.
The TripleMUX therefore makes an active contribution to saving costs, energy
and space for additional peripherals, and to use the computers connected more
efficiently.
A user has easy access to the information provided on multiple computers.
