ServSwitch Wizard VGA/USB

3.2.3 Dual user configuration

You can combine two ServSwitch Wizard VGA-USB extender sets to create a dual user configuration. Such an installation would allow a single computer to be controlled from two different positions, with each position receiving the same audio visual output and having equal and concurrent control over the computer. Arbitration between the two positions is handled by the computer’s USB system and so this arrangement is better suited to situations where two users would not often require simultaneous access.
