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.
