Input Director's flexible monitor layout system makes it easy to accurately reflect a monitor's physical location and size:
Multi-monitor support
Shared Clipboard - copy and paste between computers (including files!)
Compatible with Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7
Profiles make it simple to manage different sets of computers and monitor layouts
Only Input Director ensures the cursor remains visible and correct if the mouse is disconnected on a Windows 10 or Window 11 system
Transitioning control to another computer is as simple as moving your cursor off the screen on one computer for it to jump to the other
Able to control a computer without needing to login to it first
Supports Windows fast user switching
Compatible with Windows User Account Control pop-ups
Manage all your computers at once
Simultaneously lock all computers
Import/Export Input Director configuration and apply configuration updates from the command line
Synchronise screensavers across your computers
Synchronise shutdown of your system (or individually configure whether a computer goes to standby, hibernate or shuts down)
Wake systems over the network
Security
Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers
Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only System Administrators may make changes
Systems can limit which systems can control them by host name, ip address or network subnet
Transition Features
Ripples surround the cursor for a few seconds after transitioning to help the eye follow the cursor from one computer to another:
Transitioning using the mouse can be setup to occur:
Immediately when the cursor hits the edge of the screen
If the screen edge is double tapped by the cursor
If the cursor momentarily pauses at the edge of the screen
Can be configured to limit transitions near the corners of computer monitors to avoid accidental slippage between systems
Can also set a key (or keys) that must be held down to permit transitions between systems
Hotkeys can be setup to switch control to a specific computer or move to the next computer or monitor to the left or right
Keyboard and Mouse Features
Choose to use your mouse (speed, button order) preferences when directing another system
Supports different keyboard layouts
The keyboard LEDs (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock) reflect the status of the computer being controlled
Mirror input - Broadcast mouse gestures and/or keyboard input to all computers simultaneously
Keyboard macros - record a sequence of keystrokes that can then be run by hotkey. Macros can be broadcast to all computers, played on the system being controlled, or tied to a particular computer
Key bindings - permanently bind a key to another key on a specified system
More features...
A semi-transparent information window can be overlaid on any (or all) systems, pointing to the system currently being controlled.
With the click of a check box a system can temporarily be skipped
A command line tool makes it easy to query and drive Input Director from a script
On startup a system will inform other Input Director systems that they are available
Systems inform related Input Director systems when they're about to be shutdown or rebooted and the Director system will automatically skip them when navigating between computers
