Overview

The Master View CS-1262 DVI KVM Switch improves on previous KVM Switch designs by incorporating DVI video and audio. Now, two computers can be accessed and controlled from a single PS/2 keyboard, DVI monitor, and PS/2 mouse console.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) supports both digital video input (flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs and set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional monitors and TVs).

The CS-1262 is audio enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis). With the CS-1262’s independent (asynchronous) switching feature, you can even have the KVM focus on one computer while the audio focus is on the other.

Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their appropriate ports. There are no installation routines, and no software to configure.

There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM/Audio focus between the computers: manually, with the push button port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and with hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View CS-1262 installation. Since a single console manages all of the computers, the CS-1262 setup: eliminates the expense of having to purchase separate console components for each computer; saves all the space those extra components would take up; saves on energy costs; and eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.
