Gefen 2x1 DVIKVM DL Switcher

Dual Link DVI, USB 2.0 and Audio Switching with IR Remote Control

Description
This Gefen 2x1 DVI DL KVM Switcher makes it simple to use a single DVI monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and audio system for two computers.  If you are familiar with the previous version of this switcher, you will notice that the front-panel EQ controls are no longer present, as this improved model features automatic equalization.

The high-bandwidth dual-link switching maintains digitally perfect video with no loss of image quality. Use the included IR remote control or just press the button on the front panel to switch between the computers.  Status lights indicate which computer is selected.

Our close-up pictures make the switcher look somewhat larger than it really is - it is actually rather small - 8.5"W x 1.75"H x 4.625"D.

The package includes the switcher unit itself, an RMT-2IR remote control, 5 volt power supply, (2) 6  foot dual-link DVI cables, (2) 6 foot USB cables, (2) audio cables, and a user manual.

We offer a wired remote control if you would like to be able to locate the switcher out of sight.  We also have an IR Extender that allows use of the included IR remote control when the switcher is located out of the line of sight.

Tech note: This is a high-bandwidth DVI dual-link switcher.  It is suitable for resolutions up to 3800 x 2400 x 60 Hz., so it  supports monitors that require DVI dual-link connections, such as the Apple 30 inch Cinema Display.  If you do not need dual-link, you may want to consider our single-link KVM switcher.  Please click here for more information.

Gefen's Description

Switch Dual Link DVI, USB 2.0 & Audio between Two Computers (PC or Mac)

Gorgeous, super high resolution video supplied with Dual Link DVI Connectors

The ex•tend•it 2x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher allows you to easily switch between two cross-platform dual link DVI computers using just one dual link DVI display and USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse. Dual link DVI describes the use of all 24 pins of the DVI connector to achieve mega high video resolutions up to 3840x2400. USB 2.0, also known as hi-speed USB, is the next generation of USB capable of sending data significantly quicker than before. Stereo audio is routed through along with the video to the display. Audio, video and control signals are "switched" for each computer upon selection, providing you with an easy and effective method of accessing two computers from one workstation without the hassle of networking.

How it works
You simply connect your dual link DVI display and USB 2.0 keyboard/mouse to the Switcher's outputs. Then you connect both computers' dual link DVI, USB and audio ports to the Switcher's inputs using the supplied cables. From there, you select the computer you want using the IR remote that comes with the unit or with any contact closure remote control. It allows you to choose between a Macintosh or PC keyboard/video/mouse combination.
