Multiplicity is a new program that lets you control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse.
If you've ever used a multiple monitor equipped PC, then you can imagine how Multiplicity works. Each monitor
is connected to its own PC. When the user moves the mouse over to a given monitor, the user is then controlling that
PC.
It's ideal for power users, engineers, graphics designers, gamers, or anyone else who has ever seen the benefit
of multiple monitors but wants the full power of multiple computers working seamlessly together. Multiplicity Pro even
lets you copy and paste folders/files between machines.
Please note: Multiplicity is not a "remote desktop" application. Each system continues to need its own monitor to
display that PC. Multiplicity is used to seamlessly move between multiple machines and control them from one primary PC.

Comments from a Client:
"Developing next-generation games can be very complex and the number of tools and applications involved are often more than would be practical on a single desktop. For many of our artists and programmers at Ensemble Studios, Multiplicity Pro fits the bill for harnessing the power of several computers into a single and united workspace with a single mouse and keyboard. The ability to copy and paste images, text, files and folders between separate computers sharing that unified desktop is an invaluable asset in cutting-edge games development." - Chris Van Doren, Technical Artist, Ensemble Studios.

OPTION BENEFITS/COMPARISONS/ETC
- Control - This is the ultimate application for putting you in control. Whether it be with two, or three
computers, the fact that with Multiplicity you can interact with them as they are one and seamlessly move between
them - is an important breakthrough in computing! Best of all, the pro version allows for copying files/folders between computers!
- Power - Imagine being able to work in a word processor, completing a proposal for your company on one PC,
play a deep strategy game on a second PC, and chat with a friend/surf the web on the third - sounds powerful doesn't
it? Multiplicity is about power, and putting the power of your desktop within a single keyboard and mouse.
- Simplicity - It doesn't get any easier than Multiplicity. No complicated and expensive hardware
contraptions, no convoluted software with tricky configurations. Multiplicity installation is fast and painless,
and our configuration wizard guides you through the stages in minutes! Its about simplicity, and making your life
easier, its Multiplicity.
- Greatly increase your productivity!
- Easy to use interface! Get your machines working together in minutes!
- Copy and paste images and text between computers seamlessly.
- Great for graphics designers, 3D animators, developers, or other professionals who want or need the
resources of multiple computers at their disposal but want to work with them as if they were a single unit.
- Also great for gamers (particularly MMORPGs) who might want to keep an eye on other things on one monitor
while the game runs on the other without any slow-down (or control two characters at once).
- Terrific for users with a desktop PC and a laptop who want to control both from a single keyboard and mouse.
- OS X client in development.

Multiplicity makes it easy to set up primary and secondary computers. When you install it, it asks whether
that PC is going to be the primary or a secondary.
|
Once you define the primary, it allows you to define left and right secondary machines (custom interface for
those with more than 3 machines).
|
Multiplicity can search your network for machines with Multiplicity. It includes security to make sure other
people can't control your PC.
