By default, once the second system is connected, a window will show up with the other
systems screen on it. If the remote system has a higher resolution than the host screen, there
are scroll bars to move the screen.
Response times are surprisingly good, much faster than I was expecting. While you won
’
t want
to play movies or any 3d Games, it is fast enough to do everything else. Actual speed transfers
average around 10MB/s, this will vary system to system.
When watching a movie or some other fast motion, the image shown will be delayed a second or
two. It is a single screen shot of what is going on, updated every second or so.
File transfers are done using their software. While you can “drag and drop” files from one side to
the other, you cannot just drag from your desktop to the remote screen or vice-versa. The
transfer window also is quite dated in it
’
s look and feel, like it uses the old Windows 95 API.
Because you are actually controlling the remote system through your host, windows keyboard
commands will not be captured and sent directly. There is a button to send the
‘
windows+esc
’
key command to the remote system.
Full screen mode is not quite what you would expect, I was hoping that it would change the
resolution to match one of the screens at least. It still requires you to move the scroll bars to
see the rest of the screen.
Conclusion:
This is one of those products that must be fairly hard to market. It
’
s not because it is a bad
product or that it doesn
’
t work. The problem is, it is a completely unique product, which seems
to be solving a problem no one knew they had. Aten-USA understands this problem. They
even have a section on their website to provide examples of where you can use the 661.
