The Benefits of Display Modes in KVM Switches for Multitasking

The Benefits of Display Modes in KVM Switches for Multitasking

TESmart's KVM switch products not only allow switching between multiple computers, but also have unique display modes. In this blog post, we will introduce four display modes of TESmart's KVM switch products: Mirror Mode, Extended Mode, Mixed Screen Mode, Picture-in-Picture Mode, and explain their applications in different scenarios.

  

Mirror Mode

Mirror Mode is a unique display mode of TESmart's KVM switch products. In this mode, the KVM switch can simultaneously send the signal of the same computer to two displays. This mode is commonly used in scenarios such as presentations, training, and conference rooms, where multiple people need to watch the same content simultaneously.

For example, in a training scenario in a company, it is necessary to introduce new products, services, or strategies to multiple employees at the same time. If a single display is used, only a few people can directly see the presentation screen, while others need to compete for visibility or watch from a side screen. This approach is inconvenient and easily distracts attention. However, by using TESmart's KVM switch product in Mirror Mode, the same presentation screen can be mirrored to multiple displays, allowing all employees to clearly see the presentation content, improving work efficiency, and reducing errors and misunderstandings.

 

Extended Mode

Extended Mode is another unique display mode of TESmart's KVM switch products. In this mode, the KVM switch can connect multiple computers to the same display, expanding the screen space to multiple screens. This mode is usually used in scenarios such as multimedia editing, software development, and other scenarios where multiple screens need to be used simultaneously.

For example, in a multimedia editing scenario, editors usually need to simultaneously view video editing, audio editing, image editing, and other content. If there is only one display, they need to switch between different task windows frequently, reducing work efficiency. However, by using TESmart's KVM switch product in Extended Mode, multiple computers can be connected to the same display, expanding the screen space to multiple screens, allowing editors to view multiple task windows simultaneously and improving work efficiency.

 

Mixed Screen Mode

Mixed Screen Mode is a display mode that can display multiple input sources on multiple output devices. The Mixed Screen Mode provided by TESmart's KVM switch products supports displaying multiple input sources on multiple displays, allowing multiple input sources to be displayed on different displays at the same time. Mixed Screen Mode is usually used in scenarios where multiple input sources need to be viewed simultaneously, such as monitoring rooms, command centers, and multiplayer games.

For example, in a monitoring room, security personnel need to simultaneously view the images from multiple surveillance cameras. Mixed Screen Mode can help them display all surveillance images on multiple displays simultaneously. In addition, in multiplayer games, multiple players need to view different game screens simultaneously. Mixed Screen Mode can display multiple input sources on multiple displays, making it more convenient for players to play games.

TESmart's KVM switch products offer multiple options for Mixed Screen Mode, which also support multiple resolutions and display ratios, making them adaptable to different displays and devices. At the same time, Mixed Screen Mode also supports quick mode switching and keyboard and mouse switching, allowing users to quickly switch between different input sources and control them. In addition, it also supports USB 2.0 and USB keyboard and mouse transmission, making it suitable for scenarios that require large data transmission and file sharing.

 

Picture-in-Picture Mode

PIP mode is a unique display mode of TESmart's KVM Switch products. In this mode, the KVM Switch can display signals from multiple computers on the same screen, with one computer's signal enlarged in the main window, and signals from other computers displayed in smaller windows around the main window. This mode is usually used in scenarios where multiple computer contents need to be viewed simultaneously.

For example, in a trading scenario at a financial company, multiple trading platforms' trading data need to be viewed simultaneously. If there is only one monitor, traders would need to switch between different trading platform windows frequently, which reduces efficiency. However, if TESmart's KVM Switch product's PIP mode is used, signals from multiple trading platforms can be displayed on the same screen, with one trading platform's signal enlarged in the main window, and signals from other trading platforms displayed in smaller windows around the main window. Traders can view data from multiple trading platforms simultaneously, which improves efficiency. TESmart's switch series is upgrading its technology to support the picture-in-picture display function. Please look forward to using this powerful function in the upgraded version of the switch.
