Black Box ServSwitch Wizard DVI DL Quad-Head 4-Port Desktop KVM Switch

The Black Box ServSwitch Wizard DVI DL Quad-Head 4-Port Desktop KVM Switch enables a single user to control four computers with quad video heads and share USB peripherals between them. The KVM switch centralizes and simplifies multihead video switching access at a single user console with multiple DVI screens. You can select a channel on the ServSwitch Wizard DVI Dual-Link using hotkeys, a three-button mouse, or the switch's front-panel controls. When autoscan is enabled, the switch cycles automatically between connected computers in a sequence. A seven-segment numeric display indicates the selected channel.

The ServSwitch Wizard DVI Dual-Link enables a single KVM workstation user to control four separate computer systems or servers and flexibly share peripherals among them. In addition to four DVI-I video KVM user console inputs for multiscreen workstations, the switch features quad DVI-I video connectors on each of its four computer channels. This gives you an easy access to four video heads on each channel.

Each video head channel on this switch supports dual-link digital DVI video at up to 450 megapixels per second. It supports 2048 x 1080 video resolutions for post-production or 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) image clarity for detailed medical or R&D lab imaging.

In addition to quad video connectors, each computer channel on the ServSwitch Wizard DVI Dual-Link has USB Type B and a 3.5mm audio jack inputs. You can also use a KVM console to work on one computer while your USB devices remain connected to other computers. Since the ServSwitch Wizard Dual-Link DVI supports audio connectivity, you can connect speakers to yet another computer (audio can be switched independently from USB and video).

The ServSwitch Wizard DVI Dual-Link's rear panel has two USB Type A ports as part of its KVM user console connections plus separately switched two USB Type A ports for additional USB 2.0 connectivity. You can quickly reassign any of the connected USB peripherals to any of the connected computers. Attached devices can either be switched in unison or you can mix peripherals between any of the systems.

The switch supports a wide range of USB devices, especially high-speed USB 2.0 peripherals on its switched USB ports. Printers, scanners, and non-standard HID devices can all be attached. For instance, you can be creating e-mails on one system, listening to audio on a second one, printing from a third computer, and scanning documents on another�all at the same time.

With USB emulation technology, the ServSwitch Wizard Dual-Link DVI switch supports instant, reliable hotkey and mouse switching. It features True USB Emulation, which ensures that the full characteristics of the connected USB peripherals, including keyboards and mice are passed to every system concurrently. Specialized features are quickly recognized on the attached devices. Each computer retains this information even if the device is plugged into another computer. The switch also supports EDID emulation.
