swapping monitors vga/dvi

I have an Ion that I have one VGA monitor and one DVI monitor. Currently the VGA monitor is number one and shows channel info. Monitor two, the DVI, is showing cue information.  What I'd like to do is have channel info on my DVI monitor and have duplicate VGA monitors displaying the cue information in two places. I have a small VGA powered splitter and the cabling I need to make it all work - however I cant figure out how to swap the data that's on them. The manual talks about a swop key but that button is called Tab on my console and doesn't do what I need it to.

is there a way to simply swop the data on the two monitors?

    Hi Sam

    Yes, it used to be so much simpler.

    Now, I believe this is how you do it. (I did it once, made my snapshots, and never wanted to go here again!)

    Pressing [TAB] will move a gold box around the playback list or channel screen.  Pick on screen on the left, highlight it with the gold.

    Press and Hold [TAB] and press the right arrow key.  The left screen will go blank.  The left image is now sitting under the right image.

    [TAB] to the right screen, and Press and Hold [TAB] and press the Left arrow key.  this should move the right screen image back to the left screen, revealing what-was-the-left-screen-which-was-under-the-right.

    If this worked, record as a snapshot: [RECORD] [MORE SK] [SNAPSHOT] [1] [LABEL] How I like it [ENTER].

    Hope this helped.
