IOGEAR GCS1808 Overview

Control up to 8 computers using a single HDMI monitor, keyboard, and mouse with the 8-Port USB HDMI KVMP Switch from IOGEAR. Boasting 8 HDMI inputs and capable of video resolution up to 1920 x 1200, the 8-port switch supports 2.1 stereo surround audio, and it allows you to control up to 512 computers by cascading 3 levels of the switch.

The rack-mountable 8-port KVMP switch features IOGEAR's DynaSync technology with EDID support, which helps to ensure that there is little or no delay or change in video resolution while switching between computers. Two USB 2.0 ports allow you to share peripherals such as printers or USB storage devices. The switch is firmware-upgradable and supports Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX, and Solaris systems. Two sets of KVM cables are included.

Expanded Connectivity
IOGEAR's 8-Port USB HDMI KVMP Switch is designed to control up to 512 computers by cascading 3 levels of the switch. The built-in USB 2.0 Type-A hub allows peripheral sharing between the connected system and is backwards compatible with USB 1.1. Administrators can broadcast messages, announcements, firmware updates, or notifications to all connected sources.
EDID Support
IOGEAR's Video DynaSync technology optimizes the display resolution by reading and remembering the monitor's parameters (EDID), which helps to ensure there is no delay or change in video resolution when switching between or booting computers.
Simple Switching Methods
Easily switch between connected computers by either manually pressing the front panel push-buttons, entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or via the On-Screen Display (OSD) system. The KVM's convenient Auto-Scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitoring of activities on all connected devices.

We use several USB KVM's and this one is great for two reasons: 1. it comes complete with a full set of cables, and 2. it has keyboard commands that allow switching capability from the keyboard if the KVM itself is not located conveniently in the rack. - I have ordered more of these. Keith Eggel
