The Gefen 4x1 DVI DL Switcher

The rack-mountable Gefen 4x1 DVI DL Switcher offers an economical solution by eliminating the need to purchase many displays for each DVI source in a studio or lab situation. A plug-and-play solution, the 4x1 DVI DL Switcher shares one dual-link display with up to four computers or other DVI video sources, saving space on your desktop. The source computer is selected using the included IR remote control or through RS-232 control.

How It Works

The DVI monitor is connected to the switcher’s output. Up to four DVI sources connect to the switcher’s DVI inputs using included high quality DVI cables. The included power supply is connected to the switcher via the locking power plug and then to a power outlet. The currently selected computer’s video signal appears on the shared monitor. Video sources are selected/switched using the RMT-4IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the front panel of the switcher.
