Overview
The VS-881 Video Switch is a modern control unit that allows you to conveniently display the video output of eight separate computer systems on a single monitor, or via a multimedia projector - thereby eliminating the unnecessary expense of purchasing a separate monitor for each computer. The VS-881 is perfect for corporate presentations, company briefings and institutional learning centers.
The VS-881 improves on previous video switch models with enhanced features that include a freely accessible concentric-hub design; easy computer selection via push buttons; intelligent infrared (IR) remote control; and electronic switching technology, rather than mechanical switching, for reliability and durability.
The VS-881 also saves on the space that additional monitors take up, as well as the extra power costs, and eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving around from one computer to another.
