Display Control Channel (DCC) is an advanced method of implementing an on-screen display (OSD) technology on KVM switches.
On-screen display technology used on KVM switches is used to show control and selection functions pertaining to the KVM, such as what port is selected, and what ports have computers connected. OSD is typically broadcast on top of the selected channel's existing display. Because of this, the quality of the OSD's images is inconsistent and unreliable. Its size and positioning depend on the video resolution of each individual system connected.
On KVMs with a DCC controlling menu, the configuration selection is displayed on a dedicated independent video channel. The quality of the controlling menu is more secure and reliable because of this. The DCC method of broadcasting this information via an independent channel allows for greater functionality and more programming possibilities in the future.
Display Control Channel is patented by Connectpro.
Famous quotes containing the words display, control and/or channel:
“If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“... the black girls didn’t get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide. What I’m saying is that black men have exploited black women.... They didn’t want them to have any choice about their reproductive health. And if you can’t control your reproduction, you can’t control your life.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“Eddie did not die. He is no longer on Channel 4, and our sets are tuned to Channel 4; he’s on Channel 7, but he’s still broadcasting. Physical incarnation is highly overrated; it is one corner of universal possibility.”
—Marianne Williamson (b. 1953)
