The Gefen 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher
The rack-mountable Gefen 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher offers an economical
solution by eliminating the need to purchase many displays for each computer in
a studio or lab situation. A plug-and-play solution that supports both Macintosh
and IBM-PC computers, the 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher shares one DVI display
with up to eight computers or other DVI video sources. A single USB 2.0 port,
keyboard & mouse ports, and an analog audio jack are also switched. The
switcher saves space on your desktop by eliminating a crowded workspace full
of DVI monitors, keyboards & mice, and USB and audio cables. Switching of DVI
sources is easy and reliable.
How It Works
The DVI monitor is connected to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher’s output. Up to
eight DVI video sources connect to the switcher’s DVI inputs using included high
quality DVI cables. The included power supply is connected to the switcher via
the locking power plug and then to a power outlet. The currently selected DVI
video signal appears on the shared monitor. DVI Video sources (and optionally
keyboards and mice, USB and audio cables) are selected/switched using the
RMT-8IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the
front panel of the switcher.
