Overview

The VS881 Video Switch is a modern control unit that allows you

to conveniently display the video output of eight separate

computer systems on a single monitor, or via a multimedia

projector - thereby eliminating the

unnecessary expense of purchasing a separate monitor for each

computer. The VS881 is perfect for corporate presentations,

company briefings and institutional learning centers.

The VS881 improves on previous video switch models with

enhanced features that include a freely accessible concentric-

hub design; easy computer selection via push buttons; intelligent

infrared (IR) remote control; and electronic switching technology,

rather than mechanical switching, for reliability and durability.

The VS881 also saves on the space that additional monitors take

up, as well as the extra power costs, and eliminates the

inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving

around from one computer to another.
