A lot more of us nowadays are multiple-computer households. We started with a desktop, but then your company issued you a laptop for work, or you went and bought one for yourself. You would think that when you're using your desktop machine, you're not using your laptop, and vice versa - well, here's a nifty new application that makes your laptop perform double duty. Sure, it's a computer, but now you can also use it as a second monitor!
With MaxiVista Pro, you can use the monitor of any spare PC as a screen extension for your primary computer. In fact, you can use the monitors of up to THREE additional PCs to create one gigantic 7,680x1,600 pixel desktop!
Of course, it's not just the size that matters, it's how you use it. Think about the benefits of using MaxiVista Pro - no more overlapping application windows, since you can drag each application out to its own monitor. Work with a lot of toolbars? Keep them all open at the same time! And it's all controlled using a single keyboard and mouse.
But sharing monitors is only the beginning. With MaxiVista Pro, you can also control up to four computers with a single keyboard and mouse! It's so simple, all you've got to do is move your mouse cursor to the monitor of the PC you would like to control via the mouse & keyboard of your main PC. No manual switching necessary!
You can also use MaxiVista Pro to easily share information between computers! Anything that you copy to one clipboard (files, photos, formatted text and much more) is immediately available on the clipboards of any attached machine. MaxiVista Pro eliminates the need for complicated KVM switch setups, allowing you to easily and seamlessly move from working with one machine to another!
