Introduction The QuadKVM Switch allows you to view up to four different analog and digital video sources simultaneously on one display device. It also supports keyboard and mouse functionality, allowing you to access all four sources with one set of interface controls. Connections to video sources are managed via DVI-I connectors. Advanced viewing options include dual-mode, quad-mode, full-screen mode, and PiP (Picture in Picture) mode.
Applications The QuadKVM can be used in many applications that require the real-time monitoring of multiple computers. It is a perfect solution in situations where a user needs to monitor several computers at the same time. In Air Traffic Control environments, several computers need to be monitored for the progress of flights and flight information.
