The Vista™ Advantage…
The Vista family is the KVM switch of choice for
desktop, small office, or home use. You can connect
a single KVM station to two computers or as many as
64 computers. It is available in three chassis sizes
and two connector styles.
The smaller sizes are perfect for desktop use. If you
routinely need to access more than one computer,
Vista cleans up your desk and organizes your
workflow. The larger sizes work great in racks to
consolidate access to your servers. No matter what
your application, Vista saves physical space, reduces
clutter, streamlines access, and lowers power costs
by reducing excess keyboards, mice, and monitors.
For flexibility, Vista is available in either DB25 or PC
connector styles. The DB25 models use UltraCable,
Rose's cabling system which uses only one
connector to the KVM switch for each computer and
can support USB. It is also compatible with ViewLink
extenders and Translator converters, which allow you
to extend the distance or convert to Apple or Sun.
The Vista L-series models offer an on-screen menu
for configuration and computer accessing.

excellent family of full-featured, easy-to use, and economical KVM switches.

Typical Application
Vista connector style Vista models are available with either
DB25 connectors or PC connectors for the computers. For the
controlling keyboard, monitor, and mouse, all models have a separate
connector for each cable so you can plug the device cables directly
into the Vista.
Units with DB25 connectors are the easiest to manage because there
is a single connection for each computer to the Vista. Th e cabling
utilizes the Rose UltraCable all-in-one system, which streamlines
cable management. UltraCable will allow you to connect computers
with USB keyboard and mouse.
Units with PC connectors have three connections for each computer
to the Vista. The VGA video uses a HD15 connector and the PS/2
keyboard and mouse each use a MiniDin 6 connector.
Vista Mini T-Series These models are intended for desktop
applications. They are very small (3.2” W) and have very high
resolution. They are the smallest Rose KVM switch. These models
support stereo audio so you can have a common set of speakers for
all computers. If you are ordering the DB25 model and will be using
audio, be sure to order the audio UltraCables. For the PC-connector
models, the connectors provided for audio are standard 3.5 mm
stereo jack.
Vista M-Series These models work well either at the desktop or
in server racks. They can be rack mounted, are 1U high, and are
available in
2-port or 4-port models. They have high resolution v i deo and are
available in PC and multi-platform versions. The multi-platform version
supports the Apple ADB interface and is available in DB25 only. Each
port is programmable as PC or Apple.
Vista L-Series These models are primarily intended for s er ver
racks. They can be rack mounted, are 1U high, and available in 4-port
and 8-port models. These models are available with the on-screen
display (OSD) option. The OSD option allows you to configure the
switch from the OSD and to program the names of your co mputers.
When you switch to a computer, the name of the co mputer is shown
in programmable color and position. You can also select a computer
by name and switch to it. The OSD has a built-in screen saver and
many other features.
Keyboard and Mouse All Vista models support full emulation
of keyboard and mouse. It works with major operating systems such
as Windows, Linux, and UNIX running on workstations such as SGI,
IBM RS/6000, HP 9000, Dec Alpha, and others. All models support
PS/2, PS/2 wheel, or serial mice. The T-series and L-series do not
support a physical serial mouse, but the M-series does. When using
the DB25 models with USB cables, you can use PC-USB, Apple-USB,
or Sun-USB.
