System Introduction
Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics
®
Vista DVI Plus for your DVI video
distribution applications. The Vista DVI Plus features full dual link DVI video or high
definition analogue video. The advanced emulation technology of the Vista DVI Plus
allows USB HID devices to be truly emulated to each computer, even specialty
keyboards and mice. This technology enables instantaneous and reliable hotkey
switching.
The Vista DVI Plus also features two independent switchable USB 2.0 ports and an
audio port. These ports can be switched to different computers.
Switching is accomplished using local keyboard hotkey sequences, the front panel
controls, serial commands, or using a 3 button mouse. With these switching options
you can quickly reassign the connected peripherals to any of the connected
computers.
