Micro 2-port KVM

Overview

The MiniView™ Micro (GCS62) allows access to two computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). This cost effective way to access two computers, without extra hardware, is highly efficient and easy to use. By allowing a single console to manage both computers, the MiniView™ Micro eliminates the expense of purchasing extra keyboards, monitors, mice, and the MiniView™ Micro eliminates the extra space they would take up.

The MiniView™ Micro is small, portable, and fits right on or under your desktop. It also comes with a built-in KVM cable set to simplify the installation. Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into the appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, and no imcompatibility problems. Since the MiniView™ Micro intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating system.

The MiniView™ Micro provides a convenient method to access the computers by simple Hot Key combinations from the keyboard.
