4-Port DualView Dual-Link
DVI KVMP Switch
IOGEAR’s GCS1644 4-Port DualView Dual-Link DVI KVMP Switch marks a leap in KVM
functionality by combining IOGEAR’s Display Technology with the widescreen graphics resolution
of today’s 30+ inch monitors, supporting DualView / Dual-Link DVI, 2560 x 1600 (higher than
1080p HD). Four DualView / Dual-Link display computers can be accessed and controlled from
a single console running dual-displays!
This unique KVMP can increase efciency and save equipment cost for applications where high
resolution, dual-display large or wide screen monitors are required:
• CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
• Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design / Video Editing
• Medical / Surgical / Diagnostic Displays
• And High-End Gaming, where high and ultra-high video resolution is demanded.
The GCS1644 also features two USB 2.0 peripheral ports for asynchronously sharing USB
devices between your computers. A powered USB hub may be attached to the peripheral
ports for added functionality. Audio and microphone support makes sharing speakers and a
microphone a convenience for the users which serves as an extra value.
The IOGEAR’s Display Technology remembers your monitor’s ideal resolution and refresh rate
(EDID), making it possible to boot all your computers simultaneously, switch back and forth
between computers, and still maintain the ideal video settings of the monitor.
The GCS1644 offers an out-of-box solution including all cabling required for “Set-up and Go”!
