INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Gefen’ s ex•tend•it 4x1 VGA Switcher series. The 4x1 VGA
Switcher switches VGA, USB and audio between any combination of four computers.
Now you can switch easily and reliably between any combination of four computers using
one or two VGA displays, USB keyboard and mouse. The 4x1 VGA Switcher is switched
using the RMT-4IR. The 4x1 VGA Switcher saves space – there’s no need to work on a
desk crowded with four monitors, keyboards and mouse devices. It saves time – there’s
no need to move from one monitor to another to access different computers.And it saves
money – there’s no need to purchase additional monitors, mouse devices, keyboards etc.
The 4x1 VGA Switcher allows you to choose between any combination of Macintosh or
PC computers.
