Overview
The Master View CS-1262 DVI KVM Switch improves on
previous KVM Switch designs by incorporating DVI video and
audio. Now, two computers can be accessed and controlled
from a single PS/2 keyboard, DVI monitor, and PS/2 mouse
console.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) supports both digital video input
(flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital
TVs and set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional
monitors and TVs).
The CS-1262 is audio enabled. A single microphone can
provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can
listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of
speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis). With the CS-1262’s
independent (asynchronous) switching feature, you can even
have the KVM focus on one computer while the audio focus is
on the other.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their
appropriate ports. There are no installation routines, and no
software to configure.
There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM/Audio
focus between the computers: manually, with the push button
port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and
with hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
Master View CS-1262 installation. Since a single console
manages all of the computers, the CS-1262 setup: eliminates
the expense of having to purchase separate console
components for each computer; saves all the space those extra
components would take up; saves on energy costs; and
eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in
constantly moving from one computer to another.

sockets (all in Port 1, all in Port 2, etc.).
3. The CPU Port sockets and cable plugs are color
coded and marked with an appropriate icon for
easy installation.
3. At the other end of the cable, plug the keyboard, DVI
monitor, mouse, microphone, and speaker connectors into
their respective ports on the computer.
