Input Director Screenshots
Control multiple Windows systems with one keyboard/mouse and share the clipboard
Input Director Review
Input Director is designed for those folks that have two (or more) Windows systems set up at home. Using Input Director, you can position the monitors of your systems side-by-side and then control all of them via one keyboard/mouse. To transition which system you're controlling is as simple as moving the cursor off the screen on one system and it'll pop up on the next screen (similar to a multi-monitor setup) or via a hotkey combo.
Input Director also lets you share clipboard contents, so you can copy from one machine, switch over to another and then paste. This also works for files that are in network shared directories.
New features include:
* Data Encryption between slaves and the master is now available using the Advanced Encryption System (AES) cipher with a 128, 192 or 256-bit key
* Screenedge transitions won't occur whilst a mouse button is depressed
* Slave IP addresses can optionally be cached to minimise lag on transitions to slaves
* If a slave is shutdown or restarted the master will automatically skip it
* slaves will inform their master that they're unavailable if they're put on stand by or hibernated and then inform the masters when the systems re-awake
* Masters and slaves attempt to connect and confirm each others availabilities on startup
* The master can now periodically scan skipped/unavailable slaves to see if they are available
* Changed the method used to send data across to slaves to improve the responsiveness of the mouse
* Fix a bug for Vista masters in which a powered down slave causes periodic pauses
* Various minor bug fixes and improvements
