Overview
The Master View CS-1262 DVI KVM Switch improves on
previous KVM Switch designs by incorporating DVI video and
audio. Now, two computers can be accessed and controlled
from a single PS/2 keyboard, DVI monitor, and PS/2 mouse
console.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) supports both digital video input
(flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital
TVs and set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional
monitors and TVs).
The CS-1262 is audio enabled. A single microphone can
provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can
listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of
speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis). With the CS-1262’s
independent (asynchronous) switching feature, you can even
have the KVM focus on one computer while the audio focus is
on the other.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their
appropriate ports. There are no installation routines, and no
software to configure.
There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM/Audio
focus between the computers: manually, with the push button
port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and
with hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
Master View CS-1262 installation. Since a single console
manages all of the computers, the CS-1262 setup: eliminates
the expense of having to purchase separate console
components for each computer; saves all the space those extra
components would take up; saves on energy costs; and
eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in
constantly moving from one computer to another.
