Installing the Mini-Matrix
Step 1 – Cable Installation
1. Connect console port peripherals:
•Connect video displays to the Mini-Matrix primary and secondary
display ports.
Note: it is highly recommended to use identical primary and secondary
display models. EDID information is taken from the primary console display
port (#1) and sent to all connected computers. In case of using non-identical
displays, connect the smaller display to the primary console display port.
•Connect keyboard, mouse and audio peripherals to the Mini-
Matrix console ports. These will be shared between all sources.
•USB peripherals: Connect USB peripherals to the Mini-Matrix
console USB port.
2. Computer/Source channel ports:
•For each source, connect the video, keyboard, mouse, USB and
audio cables to the Mini-Matrix source ports.
3. Dual screen support:
•Download and install HSL’s Multi Display Driver on source
computers that have multiple screens (currently available only for
Windows)( http://highseclabs.com/dl.php?fid=446).

mode, where source number 1 is
presented on both displays.

device to its original configuration.
•System reset, clears behavioral characteristics such as mouse
settings and display presets. Type { L CTRL | L CTRL | F11| r } key
combination.
•Complete reset: clears all device settings and resets to factory
defaults. From the Terminal menu select the “Reset to Factory
Defaults” option (refer to terminal mode guide).
Important Notes:
1. Always use the left control key (CTRL) unless otherwise specified.
2. Keyboard shortcut keys are to be pressed sequentially
3. Do not use the numeric keypad for toggling shortcuts unless otherwise
specified.
4. ALL KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS REFER TO QWERTY KEYBOARDS. In case a non-

Operating the Mini-Matrix
Step 1 – Display & Control Options
Display & Control options define which source to display and control
on each screen. Source selection is done through the source selection
buttons on the front panel or via the DCU (dedicated control unit) port.
Primary Source
Selection Panel
Secondary Source
Selection Panel
•Use the Source Selection Panels to choose which source to display on each
screen.
•The left panel controls which source to display on the Primary display while
the right panel controls the secondary display.
•For example, as seen in the illustration, when #1 is selected on the Primary
Panel and #3 is selected on the Secondary panel, the selected sources will be
presented accordingly.
•A source can be duplicated, by selecting its number on both panels.
•By default, Mouse, Keyboard, Audio and USB peripherals follow the display
association.
•Independently switch the Video / USB / Audio / Keyboard & Mouse ports
between computers
•Use the front-panel push buttons to independently switch the Video / USB
/ Audio / Keyboard & Mouse ports between the primary and secondary
computers.
•Useful for various scenarios, for instance:
–When a USB disk on key must remain mapped to a certain computer
while the keyboard, video, mouse and audio are switched to another
computer.
–When a user has to listen to audio originating from one computer while
working on another computer.
•Additional options are described ahead under the advanced presets section.

Step 2 – Relative vs. Absolute Mouse
By default the Mini-Matrix is setup with relative mouse settings.
•Relative mouse (default) confines the mouse movement to the
screen of each selected computer. To switch the mouse between
sources, use the front panel push buttons.
•Absolute mouse (VDT) allows switching the mouse between
sources by moving the mouse cursor across display boarders.
Cursor Navigation (Virtual Display Technology - VDT):
•With cursor navigation the user can move from one highly
isolated computer system to another by simply moving the
mouse cursor across display borders.
•Once the cursor crosses the display border, Keyboard, Mouse,
Audio and USB mapping switch to the computer that is
connected to that display.
•No need to push any buttons.
How to define mouse state
•Use the key combination { L CTRL | L CTRL | F11 | c } to enable
absolute mouse (VDT).
•Use the key combination { L CTRL | L CTRL | F11 | b } to enable
relative (this is the default mode).

Step 3 – Predefined Display Layouts (Presets)
What are presets?
•Presets reflect the layout and boarders of computer displays to
the Mini-Matrix.
•The Mini-Matrix includes 6 predefined presets, described below.
What are presets for?
•Presets allow the Mini-Matrix to correctly associate the mouse
with each source based on the physical display positioning and
the respective number of displays which are associated with each
source.
•Presets enable cursor navigation switching which allows the
user to switch control between PCs by moving the mouse cursor
across display boarders.
How to switch between presets
•Use the key combination { L CTRL | L CTRL | F11 | F1-to-F6 } to
toggle between presets.
Enable absolute-mouse prior to working with presets, type:
{ L CTRL | L CTRL | F11 | c }.
