Overview

The GCS1762/GCS1764 DVI KVM Switch charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM switch functionality by combining a switch with a 2 port USB hub at the same time as it provides an interface for a digital monitor (DVI). The new IOGEAR GCS1762/GCS1764 enhances some of the great features found in the MiniView KVM line and adds DVI technology into the mix.

The independent (asynchronous) switching feature, allows the KVM focus to be on one computer while the USB peripheral/Audio focus is on another computer. This gives the user greater control over and more flexibility. It also eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub as well as additional speakers set for your other computers; thus reducing cost and maximizing user space.

The Miniview DVI USB KVMP Switch fully supports the DVI specification for both digital video input (flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays) and analog video input (traditional monitors).
