ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB)

2.2 Features

Multiscreen Versions

The ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB) includes separate models to support one, two, three, or four video heads per channel.

Multiple Switching

The attached peripheral devices can be switched collectively to any computer system, or they can be linked to separate systems to achieve multiple tasks in parallel. Multiple switching can be controlled from the on-screen menu or using the front-panel buttons.

Analog Video

The ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB) uses VGA connectors throughout for full compatibility with legacy analog systems.

True Emulation

Earlier USB KVM switches relied upon standard keyboard and mouse templates to tell each computer system how to deal with the connected peripherals. The ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB) range gathers the true identities of the connected keyboard and mouse and presents those “real” profiles concurrently to every system. Thus, specialized keyboards and mice can be fully support- ed.

Intelligent Display Information

The ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB) uses an EDID emulation feature to ensure that all computers are supplied with the correct information about each connected video display.

USB Remote Wakeup

The ServSwitch Wizard VGA (USB) fully supports the USB Remote Wakeup feature. Any connected computer can go into sleep mode and be awakened (when its channel is selected) as soon as you press a key or move the mouse. Note that the computer and peripherals must also support the USB Remote Wakeup feature.
