Overview

The VS-291/VS-491 Video Switches are control units that allow

you to conveniently display the video output of two (VS-291) or

four (VS-491) separate computer systems on a single monitor,

thereby eliminating the unnecessary expense of purchasing a

separate monitor for each computer. The units use electronic

switching technology, rather than mechanical switching, for

greater reliability and durability.

The VS-291/VS-491 also saves on the space that additional

monitorstake up,as wellastheextrapowercosts,andeliminates

the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly

moving around from one computer to another.
