Deskswitch KVM 4x4 / 8x8

KVM Switches 4x4 / 8x8

The multifunctional Deskswitch KMVA (keyboard, mouse, video and audio) is used to control multiple PCs with one keyboard and mouse, and to share PCs among multiple users. Tremendous flexibility is achieved due to the programmability of the device. 

Multiple monitors
PCs with single, dual or quad video outputs can be routed to your monitors. 

Control / Selection
The Deskswitch is controlled from a standard keyboard or a multifunctional WEY keyboard. You can choose almost any key combinations for different commands. For example, select PC 1 by pressing the right Windows button + F1, or the middle mouse button if you have a three-button mouse. 

Configuration
Configuration is easy using DIP switches or the USB configuration interface.  Extensive, event-controlled switch sequences can be defined. 

Display
The current status of the Deskswitch, PCs and keyboard activities are indicated by LEDs and the on-screen display.

Details

Deskswitch KMVA 4x4

The following example of a Deskswitch KMVA 4x4 shows how users at four different desks can access two PCs each with one screen output. If a specific PC is not being used, then all four users can access it. PCs are normally selected with hot keys (i.e. Win+F1 for PC 1). The on-screen display informs users which PC is selected and when another user takes control.

Deskswitch KMVA 8x8

This example shows the same configuration as above, whereby users at the four desks can now access two PCs each with two screen outputs. In this example, the desks are each equipped with two screens.
