USB 2.0 DVI KVM Switch RKV-2DVI User Manual

Overview

The RKV-2DVI takes a giant step forward from prior cable KVM models in the Petite series, by offering DVI

functionality, USB 2.0 peripheral sharing (via a USB hub attached to the USB mouse port), a rich bass experience for

2.1 surround systems.

Another new feature of the RKV-2DVI is the implementation of a remote port selector. This means that you can now

control port switching from the desktop while the switch itself can be placed in a convenient, out-of-the-way,

location. Also, in addition to new hotkeys, the RKV-2DVI offers the latest mouse port-switching function – simply

double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse to change ports.

Furthermore, the RKV-2DVI features enhanced Video DynaSync technology, which eliminates boot-up display

problems and optimizes resolution when switching between ports.

Finally, the RKV-2DVI's new Power on detection feature means that if one of the computers is

powered off, switch will automatically switch to the other powered-on computer.

Featuring an unbeatable combination of DVI functionality, USB 2.0 peripheral sharing convenience, and enhanced

user-friendly operations, the RKV-2DVI allows users to keep up with the latest innovations in desktop multimedia

applications.
