Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch™ Wizard DP USB (KV9804A) which offers high quality video switching (DisplayPort 1.1 compliant) together with individual sharing of peripherals between up to four computers.
The KVM, speakers and two separate USB devices attached to the Wizard DP USB unit can either be switched in unison, as nor- mal, or you can mix your peripherals between any of the systems to suit your current tasks. For instance, you could be creating emails on one system, listening to a soundtrack from another while a third is sending documents to your printer and a fourth is performing another task with a different USB peripheral. The Wizard DP USB front panels make it straightforward to control which peripherals should connect to each system.

True Emulation
Earlier USB KVM switches relied upon standard keyboard and mouse templates to inform each computer system how to deal with the connected peripherals.
The Wizard DP USB succeeds in harvest- ing the true identities of the connected keyboard and mouse and presents those ‘real’ profiles concurrently to every sys- tem. Thus, specialist keyboards and mice can be fully supported.
