About Input Director

Input Director requires Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 or Windows 7. The systems must be networked.




Features
Easy to Use
- Easy to follow installation and usage guides – setup only takes a few minutes
- Tell Input Director how your monitors are positioned simply by dragging them to the correct spot on the monitor grid:
- Multi-monitor support
- Shared Clipboard – copy and paste between computers (including files!)
- Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and Windows 7
- Transitioning control to another computer is a simple as moving your cursor off the screen on one computer for it to jump to the other
- Able to control a computer without needing to login to it first
- Supports Windows fast user switching
- Compatible with Vista User Account Control pop-ups
Manage all your computers at once
- Simultaneously lock all computers
- Synchronise the screensavers across your computers
- Synchronise shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)
Security
- Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers using AES with a 128, 192 or 256bit key
- Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only Administrators may make changes
- Systems can limit which master systems can control them by host name, ip address or network subnet
Transition Features
- Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another:
- Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:
- Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen
- If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor
- If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen
- Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems
- Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems
- Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer to the left or right
Keyboard and Mouse Features
- Choose to use your mouse (speed, button order) preferences when directing another system
- Supports different keyboard layouts
- The keyboard LEDs (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock) reflect the status of the computer being controlled
- Mirror input – Broadcast mouse gestures and/or keyboard input to all computers simultaneously
- Keyboard macros – record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey. Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer
- Key bindings – permanently bind a key to another key on a specified system
More features…
- A semi-transparent information window that can be overlaid on any (or all) systems, pointing to the system currently being controlled.
- With the click of a check box a slave can temporarily be skipped
- On startup slave systems will inform the master system that they are available
- Slave systems inform the master system when they’re about to be shutdown or rebooted and the master will automatically skip them when navigating between computers
