Overview

The Master View Pro KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the Master View Pro, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.

Depending on the model, a Master View Pro can control up to 4, 8, or 16 PCs. Up to 31 additional Master Views can be daisy chained (for a total of up to 32 units), which means that up to 128, 256, or 512 PCs can all be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the Master View Pro intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.

The Master View Pro provides two convenient methods to access any PC connected to the system: using the port selection switches located on the front panel and using the menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) feature with mouse or keyboard.

A powerful Quick View Scan Mode feature allows you to auto scan and monitor the activities of all operating PCs on the installation one by one. Responding to the growing use of multimedia in the workstation space, the Master View has been designed with built in microphone and speaker support - a feature that will be increasingly essential over time. By allowing a single console to manage all the attached PCs, the Master View Pro eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each PC as well as saving all the space they would take up. It also eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving around from one PC to another.
