INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Gefen’ s 2x2 DVI Switcher series. The 2x2 DVI Switcher switches
DVI, USB 1.1 and Audio between any combination of two computers.

Now you can switch easily and reliably between any combination of two computers using
two DVI displays, USB keyboard and mouse.

The 2x2 DVI Switcher saves space – there’s no need to work on a desk crowded with four
monitors, keyboards and mouse devices. It saves time – there’s no need to move from
one monitor to another to access different computers. And it saves money – there’s no
need to purchase additional monitors, mouse devices, keyboards etc.

The 2x2 DVI Switcher allows you to choose between any combination of Macintosh or PC
computers and switching two monitors side by side.
