About the Video Viewer
When you connect to a target device using the Video Viewer, the desktop of the target
device is visible in a separate Video Viewer window. You can see both the local cursor
and the target device cursor.
From this window, you can access all the normal functions of this target device as if you
were sitting in front of it. You can also perform viewer-specific tasks such as sending
macro commands to the target device.
You can open the Video Viewer for target devices on all FSC KVM appliances.
If the target device you are attempting to access is currently being viewed by another
user, you have several options depending on the appliance model and your access
rights. If you are an administrator, you can share the session, preempt the session, or
observe the session in stealth mode.
For more information about access rights and session types, see “Video session types”
on page 36 and “Managing local user accounts” on page 78.
For a detailed description of the Video Viewer window and its designated elements, see
Figure 10 on this page and Table 4 on page 48.
