The SwitchView® series is the favorite of users who need to control multiple computers
from a single set of peripherals. Whether in the office or the home, SwitchView saves space
and provides efficient, economical switching for the multi-system user. This feature-rich
product line offers on-screen display with the OSD model, desktop and monitor stand
flexibility with the DT model, enhanced secure switching with the SC model and true multi-
platform support with the desktop MP model.
KVM Switching Solutions From Your Desktop
The SwitchView 2-port/4–port model’s small footprint combined with quick and easy
installation makes this switch the ideal solution for single user, multi-PC applications.
Premium color-coded cables make installation a snap with the SwitchView.
The multi-platform SwitchView MP supports combinations of PC, Sun and USB computers
using a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor and it eliminates the need for add on adapters
or converters. The SwitchView DT is a superior choice in the single user console switch
market. This 4-port console KVM solution doubles as a monitor stand and supports up to
100 lbs with zero footprint on the desktop.
The secure, compact SwitchView SC solution is specifically designed to make data transfer
between connected computers virtually impossible -- an important factor for maximum
security installations. The OSD model extends the SwitchView line with on-screen display
and multi-level security. The SwitchView OSD is a powerful tool for small businesses with
multi-server control.
