Overview

With eight VGA/Audio input ports, the VS0801 8-port Video

Switch allows you to conveniently display the video output of

eight separate computer systems on all analog monitors or a

multimedia projector. Rack mountable in only 1U of space, and

with full audio support, the VS0801 is perfect for server room

applications that require the monitoring of high quality video and

audio output, allowing you to monitor work harsh environments

from a safe location.

The IR remote control and convenient front panel pushbuttons

allow you to quickly and easily toggle between VGA/Audio

sources, while the front panel LEDs indicate the source device at

a glance. In addition, with support for up to 300 MHz bandwidth,

the VS0801 allows for the transmission of large amounts of

information at very high speeds.

Furthermore, for complete system and install integration, RS-232

control is standard through the VS0801’s built-in bi-directional

RS-232 serial port that allows the switch to be controlled through

a serial PC.

Designed for enterprise use, the VS0801 eliminates the extra

cost of purchasing a separate monitor for each computer system,

saves space and power in the server room, and provides high

speed audio and video for a wide range of industrial and

commercial applications.
