The Gefen 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher

The rack-mountable Gefen 8x1 dual link/single link DVI KVM Switcher offers an economical solution by eliminating the need to purchase many displays for each computer in a studio or lab situation. A plug-and-play solution that supports both Macintosh and IBM-PC computers, the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher shares one DVI display with up to eight computers or other DVI video sources. A single USB

2.0port, keyboard & mouse ports, and an analog audio jack are also switched. The switcher saves space on your desktop by eliminating a crowded workspace full of DVI monitors, keyboards & mice, and USB and audio cables. Switching of DVI sources is easy and reliable.

How It Works

The DVI monitor is connected to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher’s output. Up to eight DVI video 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 DVI video signal appears on the shared monitor. DVI Video sources (and optionally keyboards & mice, USB and audio cables) are selected/switched using the RMT- 8IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the front panel of the switcher.
