Introduction

We are glad that you have chosen a LINDY product and thank you for having placed your trust in us. You can rely
on our products and our good service at any time.

The LINDY Quad View KVM Switch Pro simultaneously displays video signals from four digital sources on a single
screen as well as giving individual Keyboard & Mouse control over connected computers. In addition a second
display can be connected (Full Screen Mode only!), so that you can directly control or work on one of the
computers without having to disrupt the monitoring of the other connected computers. An optional Remote IP
Module (LINDY No. 32328) is available which allows you to create a Remote Console, giving you full remote
control over the connected computers at distances of up to 100m (200m via Gigabit Ethernet Switch).

The complete description of the functions and feature of this switch is available in the full manual you can easily
