The Gefen 4x1 DPKVM Switcher

Easily switch between four computers using DisplayPort with the Gefen 4x1 DPKVM Switcher.

The rack-mountable Gefen 4x1 DPKVM Switcher offers an economical solution for switching between four different computers to one display location. In addi- tion, USB peripherals and audio are carried at the same time from each source making this a very versatile solution.

Eliminating the need to purchase many displays, keyboards and other acces- sories for each computer in a studio or professional environment, this versatile solution saves money, supports both Mac and PC-type computers, and offers uncluttered and increased desktop space.

The 4x1 DPKVM Switcher outputs are: One DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 ports (used for keyboard, mouse and other USB 2.0 peripherals) and an analog L/R audio. This Switcher can be controlled using front panel discrete switching, the included IR Remote control, or the RS-232 port for switching automation.

The 4x1 DPKVM Switcher is compatible with all operating systems using Display- Port and USB.
