2x2 VGA Switche
r
Switches extended desktop dual VGA displays, USB 1.1 & audio between
any two computers
Our 2x2 VGA Switcher enables you to connect and access two computers using one workstation
equipped with dual VGA monitors and one USB keyboard/mouse. Analog video, keyboard/mouse
control and audio are "switched" for each computer, providing you with an easy and effective way
to alternate access to greater amounts of data at the touch of a button.
Dual monitors, in this case, refers to the use of two monitors that are running an extended desktop
setup so that the entire digital image is extended over two monitors providing a greater digital
desktop on which to work. The 2x2 switcher will not mirror the same desktop but will provide
support for dual displays.
The 2x2 switcher will NOT switch between four computers and two displays or four computers and
one display.
How It Works
You simply connect both computer's VGA video, USB and audio ports to the 2x2 VGA Switcher's
inputs using the supplied cables. Then you connect both VGA displays, the USB keyboard/mouse
and an optional audio device to the Switcher's outputs. Once powered and connected, you switch
between computers by key switch or remotely using contact closure remote control.
