The 8 Port DVI KVMP Switch with VGA Support & USB KV from Iogear is a control unit that allows access and control of up to 8 computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and dual-monitor (DVI-I and VGA) console. It can be cascaded to three levels, allowing up to 73 DVI KVMP Switches to control up to 512 computers, all from the original single console. Additionally, the switch comes with Iogear's Video DynaSync technology to optimize the display resolution. The DynaSync* technology reads and remembers the monitor's parameters (EDID) causing no delay or change of video resolution when switching between or booting computers.
Switching between computers can easily be accomplished either by manually pressing the front panel push buttons, entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard or via the on-screen display (OSD) system. A convenient auto-scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitors activities on all connected computers. The DVI KVMP Switch Kit provides 2.1 stereo audio and microphone support as well as multimedia keyboard support.Note:
