Introduction

The QuadKVM Switch allows you to view up to four different analog and digital video sources simultaneously on one display device. It also supports keyboard and mouse functionality, allowing you to access all four sources with one set of interface controls. Connections to video sources are managed via DVI-I connectors. Advanced viewing options include dual-mode, quad-mode, full-screen mode, and PiP (Picture in Picture) mode. Use this device to simplify management of multiple sources by accessing and controlling them all through a single display and set of controls.

• Supports USB keyboard and mouse
- On-screen display (OSD) makes setup and switching easy
• Change views by pressing the tact switches, keyboard hotkeys, and RS-232
• Display each computer with clean and crisp high-resolution video
• Supports DVI-I/D input resolutions up to 1900 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
• Supports VGA input resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz
• DVI-D output
• Quad-mode splits the screen to show four computers on one screen
• Dual-mode splits the screen to show two computers on one screen
• PiP-mode displays one computer in full screen with three thumbnail views
• Control any one computer while monitoring three others
• User-defined frame rate for each input

Applications

The QuadKVM can be used in many applications that require the real-time monitoring of multiple computers. It is a perfect solution in situations where a user needs to monitor several computers at the same time. In Air Traffic Control environments, several computers need to be monitored for the progress of flights and flight information. The QuadKVM is perfect for multi-tasking, allowing the user to run tasks on each computer and monitor their progress without having to switch back and forth between them.

• Corporate or Educational Presentations
• Financial (Remote Servers/User Control)
• Call Centers for Technical Support
• Industrial (Long-Range Workstation Isolation)
• Airport Installations (Air Traffic Control/Passenger Information)
• KVM Extension where Exceptional Quality of Signal is Crucial
• Medical (Remote Operation Away from Sensitive/Magnetic Equipment)

- Recording (for Large Studios where Editing/Mixing Stations are Compact and/or Require Complete Silence)
