Host computer links: Video

The Wizard IP Plus uses DVI/I video ports that support both digital and analogue video monitor connections. The Wizard IP Plus automatically converts between the two connection styles to ensure independence between the locally connected video monitor (at the KVMA CONSOLE port), the remote user’s video monitor and the graphics capabilities of the host computer(s).
