LinkLicense for KVM System Configuration and Control

This upgrade works with FOX3 matrix switchers to enable breakaway switching of USB HID signals independent of the video signal in applications that have up to four displays in 1x4 or 2x2 configurations. Breakaway switching gives users the ability to operate a multi-monitor console, which is connected to multiple computers, using one keyboard and one mouse. LinkLicense for KVM System Configuration and Control also makes it easy to switch USB control between computers. You have the flexibility of using the cursor, on screen display control panel, hotkeys, or an external control system and touchpanel. You can also leverage the FPC 6000 Front Panel Controller on the FOX3 matrix switcher to perform USB control.
