INTRODUCTION
The MU-88 is an 8x8 transparent USB 2.0 matrix switch. It allows up to eight users to control any eight
remote computers from USB 2.0 equipped stations. The MU-88 excels at expediting workflow by offering
control of remote systems via USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, as well as connectivity for pe-
ripherals like external hard-drives, printers, and scanners.
Controlling the MU-88 is easy thanks to SmartAVI’s simple-yet-robust design. Our two-button front panel
control interface lets users switch between connected systems and devices at the press of a button. Fur-
thermore, the MU-88 features a web-based control interface that offers comprehensive command of USB
settings and USB devices over an Ethernet connection. The switch is an essential component in various
real-world applications including control room supervision, post-production, group-based digital design
work, large-scale server management, and more!
The MU-88 is an ideal solution for medical, industrial, studio and defense applications, where it is not
practical or safe to have multiple workstations in close proximity to each other. An operator can switch to
any connected computer from any connected station with ease.
