Introduction

The QuadKVM Switch allows you to view up to four dierent analog and

digital video sources simultaneously on one display device. It also supports

keyboard and mouse functionality, allowing you to access all four displays

with one set of interface controls. Connections to video sources are managed

via DVI-I connectors. Advanced viewing options include dual-mode, quad-

mode, full-screen mode, and PIP (picture in picture) mode. Use this device to

simplify management of multiple sources by accessing and controlling them

all through a single display and set of controls.

The QuadKVM can be used in many applications that require the real-time

monitoring of multiple computers. It is a perfect solution in situations where a

user needs to monitor several computers at the same time. In Air Trac Control

environments, several computers need to be monitored for the progress of

ights and ight information. The QuadKVM is perfect for multi-tasking, allowing

the user to run tasks on each computer and monitor their progress without

having to switch back and forth between them.
