Connect two sources to a single digital video display
Gefen EXT-MINIDVI-241N 2x1 DVI Switcher
This Gefen EXT-MINIDVI-241N 2x1 DVI Switcher makes it easy to connect a single display to as many as two sources.
Switch between sources using the included IR remote control, the front panel Select switch, or by using the optional wired remote switch.
If you would like to be able to use the IR remote control while the EXT-MINIDVI-241N is installed in a location that does not have line of sight to the remote control location, you can add the optional IR extender.
The unit supports computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 as well as HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. The EXT-MINIDVI-241N can be rack mounted in a 1-U space using the included rack-mount ears, or simply place it on a shelf or any flat surface.
All of the input and output connections are grouped together on the back panel, which makes for a much neater installation than designs that spread the connectors across multiple panels.
Warranty
Cable Solutions backs the EXT-MINIDVI-241N with a one year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is separate from any warranty that may be provided by the manufacturer, so you must contact Cable Solutions for all warranty-related issues.

Mini DVI Switcher
Easily Switch Between Two DVI Sources Using One DVI-Capable Display
The Gefen Mini DVI Switcher enables effortless DVI source switching using a single DVI-capable display. A simple, reliable and economical solution, the Mini DVI Switcher links any two DVI sources to one DVI-capable display device. It completely eliminates the need to disconnect then reconnect multiple DVI sources, saving time by providing a fundamental tool that brings it all together behind the scenes. When all three devices (the display plus the two sources) are connected to the Mini DVI Switcher and all devices are powered on, you may select which source you want to view on the display by using the Switcher's front panel source selector button or the included IR remote.
How It Works
Simply connect the DVI-compatible display to the Switcher's DVI output connector. Then connect both DVI sources to the Switcher's DVI input connectors using the DVI cables that come with the Switcher. Power on the DVI sources, the Switcher and the display, then select which source you want to view as described above.
Note: This unit is HDCP Compliant.
