Operating the DVI KVM over IP

Unicast and Multicast Modes

Switching between Sender units in Unicast mode

When multiple Sender and Receiver unit are used in unicast mode, the DVI KVM over IP behaves as a switcher. In unicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time.

In the example below, we will switch Receiver unit R1 to receive the DVI source on Sender unit S1.

Figure 2.2 - Unicast mode: Receiver unit R1 is connected to Sender unit S2.
