CDS with channel groups
The chapter Implementation of multihead monitors (see page 167) describes how to
implement multihead computers with channel groups into the CDS configuration.
In the CDS configuration, the combined size of the monitors belonging to a channel
group (monitors 2a and 2b in the example below) is adjusted so that their size ratio
fits the other monitors:
At the CDS workplace, when moving the mouse cursor to the right-hand margin of
monitor 1 , the matrix switch switches to monitor 2a and places the cursor in a way
that you barely realise the changing between the cursors of both computers.
When moving the mouse cursor to the right-hand margin of monitor 2a , the matrix
switch detects with the help of the CDS configuration that the next monitor 2b is
connected to another graphics output of the already accessed computer. Therefore,
a switching does not take place and the mouse cursor is not positioned.
When switching a computer with only one video channel to monitor 2a , you need to
drag the mouse through the unused display range of monitor 2b before using CDS
switching to switch to monitor 3 .
IMPORTANT: Only monitor 2b of the CDS workplace can display the second video
channel of a multihead computer!
It is not possible to display the first video channel of a target on this monitor.
NOTE: This type of CDS configuration is recommended when you always switch
multihead computers to particular monitors of the CDS workplace ( 2a and 2b in
the example).
