Operation
The computer connected to the computer module (DVIVision-CPU) can be oper-
ated at the remote console of the user module as well as at the local console of the
computer module.
After having initiated both consoles, they are enabled to operate the computer.
Concurrent operation of the DVIVision system
If a user carries out a keyboard or a mouse input, the DVIVision system automati-
cally locks the input devices of the concurrent console. The lock is lifted if no inputs
are made at the active console during the adjusted timing of the automatic input
lock (default: 1 second).
After the automatic input lock has been lifted, both consoles are again able to operate
the computer.
As an alternative to operate the computer concurrently through the consoles, the
exclusive operation (see below) can also be activated.

Exclusive operation of the DVIVision system
For operating the DVIVision system exclusively, the function Authorising permanent
activation of input lock can be activated in the setup menu.
If this function is turned on, the user of the DVIVision system can activate the exclu-
sive operation by pressing the key combination Hotkey + Print Screen (default:
Ctrl
+ Print Screen).
After having pressed this key combination, the input devices of the concurrent con-
sole are deactivated. By pressing the key combination again at the console where the
permanent input lock has been activated, users at both consoles are again able to
operate the DVIVision system.
After the permanent input lock has been activated at one console, the Scroll LEDs
are blinking on the keyboards of both consoles.

The paragraph Changing the videomode of the user consoles on page 23 explains how
this setting can be changed.
