WHAT‘S INCLUDED
OVERVIEW
Perfect for presentations at meetings and small confer-
ences, the video-only compact switches enable you to switch
between two or four single-link DVI video channels. Or, select
the video-plus-audio versions for controlling presentations
that require high-quality audio.
The DVI Switches support high resolutions: up to 1280 x
1024 on PCs and up to 1080i on HDTVs. Plus, models with
audio inputs transmit clear stereo sound on each channel.
Switch manually via front-panel buttons or automatically
based on input detections. The switch retains previous
settings, even if it’s powered off.
All models are compact, with a rugged, fully shielded
metal enclosure. And LEDs show port selection.
