Gefen has announced that its 4×1 DVI KVM Multiview Switcher (EXT-DVIK-MV-41) is shipping.

This solution in KVM switching is ideal for controlling four computers from a dual display workstation. The operator can observe data from up to four computers on one display, while a second display can be switched to display any image that needs closer attention.  A cascading ability allows a system expansion of up to eight switchers accessing up to 32 computers, providing comprehensive control from a single keyboard and mouse.

Two front panel USB and bi-directional audio ports (for microphone and headphones/speakers) can be independently routed from any of the computers. Preset and customisable window configurations are readily available, including single screen, split screen, picture-in-picture and four windows on the same display. Both video outputs can be scaled and positioned for the most precise alignment of video on the displays.

Gefen’s 4×1 DVI KVM Multiview Switcher supports high-resolution video, expands the availability of multiview windows and provides robust routing for seamless connectivity.   It provides plenty of options for accessing different computer sources from a single workstation. Flexible control features include front panel buttons, keyboard/mouse control and RS-232. High resolution video up to 1920×1200 or 1080p full HD is supported with HDCP compliance. The product can be placed on a shelf or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack and is field firmware upgradable using the Gefen Syner-G software suite.
