effortlessly, using the Gefen 2x2 DPKVM Switch. With the output utilizing two
displays and two USB 2.0 ports, users can switch audio, video and USB for each
computer. Access two computers from one workstation without having to use a
network. Switch through the front panel “select” button, using the supplied IR
remote control, the RS-232 serial port, or the IP control. The 2x2 DPKVM Switch
is compatible with all operating systems using DisplayPort and USB.

How It Works
