ConsolePlus
is a PC sharing switch that allows users to access one PC
from two sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor. It can be used
effectively in the classroom or at home for interactive teaching
or presentation purpose. One user can take the role as a teacher
or presenter and the other users as the student or audience.
The teacher/presenter can decide whether the keyboard and
mouse control be released to the student/audience or just
allow them to see only the video output on the screen without
keyboard and mouse control. Thus, the teacher/presenter can
freely choose the right time to release the control of the
computer to the student/audience only when their response
or demonstration needs to be verified for learning efficacy
or responses.
With ConsolePLus, teacher and
student no longer have to cram together to share just one
set of keyboard, mouse and video but can instead utilize their
own with maximum convenience and confidence, yet suffers no
loss in communication efficiency.
When used as an accessory of
Kripman, ConsolePlus serves as an enhancement unit to add
a local analog console to Kripman, and can control the remote
client access from intranet/internet via the frame-grabber
card. The advantage of using a local analog console for server
management is that it is a direct connection to server and
hence no need to compete for limited network bandwidth as
remote client connections. Hence, keyboard and mouse response
will be as immediate as directly connected to servers. |
