Introduction
The LDV-DM02ESK/LDV-DM04ESK Dual Monitor DVI
KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video Support is a 2-
/4-port PS/2 KVM Switch that provides Dual DVI interfaces
(with DVI-I Single Link connectors)
to offer genuine digital
video quality for your Dual DVI Monitors/Flat Panel Displays.
It enables the network
administrator to access, control,
boot and reboot multiple Dual DVI-enabled computers
using only one keyboard, video and mouse. They are
designed specifically for sharing dual DVI monitor/flat

you
can control multiple dual-monitor computers while
enjoying digitally clean and clear images.
