The MasterView CS1762 DVI KVM switch charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM switch functionality by combining a 2-port KVM switch with a 2-port USB hub at the same time as it provides an interface for a digital monitor (DVI-D). As a KVM switch, it allows users to access two computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor console. As a USB hub, it permits each computer to access any peripherals connected to the hub on a 'one computer at a time' basis. The CS1762's independent (asynchronous) switching feature allows the KVM focus to be on one computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub as well as the need to purchase separate stand-alone peripheral sharers - such as printer servers, modem splitters, etc. The CS1762 further improves on previous designs with DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface) connectors, and the transfer of keyboard and mouse data to the computers via a fast, reliable USB connection. DVI supports both digital input (flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs and set-top boxes) and analog* video input (traditional monitors and TVs).*
NOTE :
The KVM will support both DVI-I and DVI-D, however the supplied video cables are DVI-D they will not work with VGA to DVI adapters, third party DVI-I cables, or a VGA to DVI converter must be used
