The Gefen 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher

The rack-mountable Gefen 8x1 single-link/dual-link DVI Switcher offers an

SL Switcher shares one dual-link display with up to eight computers or other DVI

video sources, saving space on your desktop. The source computer is selected

using the included IR remote control or through RS-232 control.

How It Works

The DVI monitor is connected to the switcher’s output. Up to eight DVI sources

connect to the switcher’s DVI inputs using included high quality DVI cables.

The included power supply is connected to the switcher via the locking power

plug and then to a power outlet. The currently selected computer’s video signal

appears on the shared monitor. Video sources are selected/switched using the

RMT-8IR remote control, RS-232 control, or the input selector push button on the

front panel of the switcher.
