Introduction

The B004-DUA2-K-R is a 2-port Compact DVI USB KVM Switch with audio and microphone switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot 2 DVI- enabled USB multimedia computers. The independent audio/mic switching function allows an uninterrupted audio experience on a same connected computer, even when you switch to another computer.

This KVM Switch adopts the DVI technology for digital video signal transmission over the cable to reduce undesired distortion from conventional analog/digital conversion. Both digital video (1920 x 1200) and analog video (2048 x 1536) are supported.

For Windows® and Macintosh® platforms, it provides an innovative and easy-to-use KVM Switcher Software—a small windows client application to facilitate your KVM switching operations such as PC selection and hot key sequence programming, auto-scanning, auto- scan delay time programming, independent/simultaneous audio & PC switching and more.

•Some older computers with USB interface might need to manually enable the USB option in the BIOS settings before you can use any USB devices. If your USB interface does not work, please check the USB option in the BIOS.

•If you use Windows 95/98/SE or Mac OS and have not yet installed a USB mouse on your computer, there might be an error message telling you that the mouse is not detected and prompting you

to decide whether to ignore the same message in the future, and yet you will find there is no mouse movement to disable this message. So it is suggested that you should install your USB mouse on your computer first, before connecting it to this KVM Switch.
