INITIAL SETUP
SINGLE-HEAD MODE KM SWITCHING
MULTI-HEAD MODE KM SWITCHING
Aer connecng all devices to the SM-KMN-08, a display topology conguraon and display
mode must be chosen. By default, SM-KMN-08 is congured to a topology with 8 screens arranged
horizontally starng with port 1 on the most le-hand side.

This can be selected through keyboard hotkey commands. Please refer to the “Display Topology
Conguraon” for the available display topologies.
SmartAVI’s new PASS (Progressive Automac Screen Switching) technology allows seamless switching
between computers by moving the mouse cursor from one display to another. With PASS, users can
eortlessly switch computers for faster producvity. PASS only works in Single-Head mode.
When using computers with mulple displays, SmartAVI developed a new feature called Mouse
Gesture Switching technology that allows switching between computers through the use of simple
mouse clicks and gestures. No device driver is required. Simply press the scroll wheel twice and then
move the mouse in the direcon of the channel you desire to switch. This feature only works in Mul-
Head display mode.
