PC compatible
computers that have multiple
independent video heads have
often been left partially in the dark
when it comes to keyboard/video/
mouse (KVM) switching. Most KVM
switches are made for regular
computers with one video head;
to handle the “extra” video lines
from computers like yours, you’d
need to stack a video-only switch
on top of that kind of KVM switch,
or do something equally inelegant.
Just for you, we offer the
Multi-Head ServSwitch™. It has
multiple inputs for video from
multi-head computer CPUs and
outputs for multiple monitors. The
models we currently stock include:
• The 2-Port Dual Video
switch (SW614A) handles
two CPUs with one or two
video outputs.
• The 2-Port Quad Video
switch (SW616A) handles
two CPUs with up to four
video outputs.
• The 4-Port Dual Video
switch (SW617A) handles as
many as four CPUs with one
or two video outputs.
The first ServSwitch designed specifically
for computers with multiple video outputs.
Key Features
MULTI-HEAD SERVSWITCH
TM
• The 4-Port Quad Video
switch (SW619A) handles as
many as four CPUs with up
to four video outputs.
The flexibility of the Multi-
Head ServSwitch doesn’t end
there. It supports all kinds of VGA
and XGA compatible video at
resolutions up to 1600 x 1280 and
at refresh rates (frequencies) up
to 100 Hz. It also passes through
VESA DDC signaling, so your CPUs
and your high-end monitors can
communicate with each other as
if they were directly attached.
The Multi-Head ServSwitch
has sophisticated keyboard and
mouse support as well.
Keyboards can be PS/2 or (with
an adapter) PC/AT type, using
keyboard mode 1, 2, or 3. Mice
can be two- or three-button or
wheel type, using prompt or
stream mode.
The only thing that comes with
the Multi-Head ServSwitch is its
manual, because in most environ-
ments it doesn’t need a power
supply. It draws enough power
from the keyboard ports of the
attached computers to operate in
all but the most demanding
applications. If it turns out that
you do need a power supply,
order product code PS649.
You can protect the Multi-
Head ServSwitch and its attached
computers from unauthorized
access by setting a password for
it. This and many other functions,
including autoscanning and a
screen-saver feature, can be set
and controlled using the Switch’s
configuration mode and keyboard
commands.
You can switch CPU channels
on the Multi-Head ServSwitch
with its front-panel pushbutton,
using the keyboard or mouse, or
using a Remote-Control Module
(KV6REM series) or other serial
device attached to its OPTIONS
port. You’ll also be able to use this
port to flash-upgrade the Switch’s
firmware using a special serial
cable (KV6SER).
If you need to switch between
computers with up to eight video
heads, you can synchronize two
Quad Video switches so that they
act as a single Eight Video switch.
You’d do this by running a special
DB15 cable between their
OPTIONS ports (call for a quote).
