Welcome

Thank you for purchasing one of the industry’s most feature-rich dual display KVMs, with USB peripheral sharing and audio technology. You’ll save money and space by eliminating the need for multiple monitors, keyboards, mice, as well as USB peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and more. Up to 127 USB devices can be daisy chained from this KVMP switch. Sharing speakers and a microphone also offers extra value and convenience for the users.

USB and KVM technology together makes cross-platform management easy. A single USB console can control a PC and a Mac workstation, and share peripherals and audio between the computers.

We hope you’ll enjoy using your Miniview Dual View USB KVMP switch, yet another first-rate connectivity solution from IOGEAR
