Introduction
The LDV-DM02ESK/LDV-DM04ESK Dual Monitor DVI KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video Support is a 2-
/4-port PS/2 KVM Switch that provides Dual DVI interfaces (with DVI-I Single Link connectors) to offer genuine digital video quality for your Dual DVI Monitors/Flat Panel Displays. It enables the network administrator to access, control, boot and reboot multiple Dual DVI-enabled computers using only one keyboard, video and mouse. They are designed specifically for sharing dual DVI monitor/flat panel displays between multiple dual-monitor PCs with DVI interfaces.
The DVI interface technology is tailored to the modern digital display requirements. It implements genuinely digital signal transmission over the cable to reduce undesired distortion from conventional analog/digital conversion. Using the Dual Monitor DVI KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video Support, you can control multiple dual-monitor computers while enjoying digitally clean and clear images.

do not need to configure the KVM Switch before installation. It’s a Plug-and-Play device: First, connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse to the DVI KVM switch and
