Multiplicity software is installed on networked PCs to create a virtual KVM switch with two modes of operation. In Seamless keyboard and mouse mode, the mouse cursor can be freely moved between multiple PCs, each with their own monitors. In KVM (IP-KVM) mode, remote and headless PCs can be controlled from a single PC. Both Seamless (KM) and remote desktop (IP-KVM) operation can be simultaneously active. Multiplicity is a permanent license, no monthly or annual use fees.
Specs
Pros
Pro Drag/Drop and Copy/Paste between PCs
Quickly and securely drag and drop files of any size between PCs. Advanced compression techniques ensure very large files and folders, such as video files, transfer quickly. Copy and paste images and text between PCs, local and remote. Formatting attributes are retained when copying and pasting formatted images.
Pro Remote Multi-Monitor Operation
Multiplicity supports control of remote PCs with multi-monitor configurations. Users may select the specific remote monitor display to show on the local PC monitor and freely switch between them. The window that contains the remote PC display can be resized and moved between monitors attached to the controlling PC.
Pro Active Thumbnail Sidebar
A second method to connect to a remote PC is to select it from the thumbnail sidebar. The sidebar can be displayed all the time or automatically based on mouse control. When sufficient thumbnails are available the sidebar will scroll and can be one or two columns wide.
Pro Remote / Seamless Mixed Mode Operation
Multiplicity supports simultaneous operation in both seamless and remote mode. This enables multiple local PCs to be seamlessly switched between using their own monitors while also controlling other PCs using a shared monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Pro Remote PC Control Operation
Multiplicity enables a single monitor, keyboard and mouse to be used to control other PCs. Remote PCs can be located anywhere on the network. Keyboard and mouse inputs will be sent to the remote PC and the remote display will be shown on the local PC monitor.
Pro Active Desktop Thumbnails
Multiplicity can display a full screen of active desktop thumbnails from remote PCs available to be selected and controlled from the Primary PC. Based on your monitor resolution Multiplicity will automatically resize and adjust the number of thumbnails displayed and horizontal scroll to accommodate as many thumbnail views as are available.
