Description

The B024-DUA8-SL DVI/USB KVM Switch allows you to control eight computers with audio using a single
DVI monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse. Plus, by cascading up to three levels of KVM switches, you
can control up to 512 computers at the same time.

Recommended for IT managers needing centralized access to a variety of digital and analog servers, this
DVI/USB KVM switch also supports a VGA display when connected to a DVI to VGA adapter (such as
Tripp Lite’s P556-Series).

The DVI-I single-link connector supports digital video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, including 1080p, and
analog video resolutions up to 2048 x 1536. The multi-view installation feature lets you stack up to four
KVM switches for connecting computers with up to four DVI outputs and displaying video on up to four
console monitors, giving you flexibility in video output. A 3.5 mm microphone jack provides audio input to
connected computers. A 3.5 mm audio jack provides 2.1-channel sound to connected speakers.

The OSD presents a text-based interface in eight different languages and allows backup of KVM
configuration and user profile information. Dual-tier password protection enhances security for an
administrator and up to four users. A DB9 cable is included for firmware upgrades that keep the KVM
switch up to date with the latest technology. Easy front-panel access to USB 2.0 hub ports allows quick
connection of two USB devices, such as flash drives and printers.
