6.2 Display Modes (Copy Mode / Extend Mode)

The KVM switcher supports two primary display modes for your dual monitors:

"COPY" Mode: In this mode, both monitors will display the same image from the currently selected computer (PC1 or PC2). This is useful for presentations or mirroring content.
"EXTEND" Mode: In this mode, your desktop is extended across both monitors, allowing you to drag windows from the main screen to the second output screen. This is ideal for multitasking and increasing screen real estate.

To switch between "COPY" and "EXTEND" modes, press the "Windows" key + "P" key simultaneously on your keyboard. A small window will appear on your screen, allowing you to choose the desired display mode.
