Introduction
The LDV-DM02ESK/LDV-DM04ESK Dual Monitor DVI
KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video Support is a 2-
/4-port PS/2 KVM Switch that provides Dual DVI interfaces
(with DVI-I Single Link connectors) to offer genuine digital
video quality for your Dual DVI Monitors/Flat Panel Displays.
It enables the network administrator to access, control,
boot and reboot multiple Dual DVI-enabled computers
using only one keyboard, video and mouse. They are
designed specifically for sharing dual DVI monitor/flat
panel displays between multiple dual-monitor PCs with DVI
interfaces.
The DVI interface technology is tailored to the modern digital
display requirements. It implements genuinely digital signal
transmission over the cable to reduce undesired distortion
from conventional analog/digital conversion. Using the Dual
Monitor DVI KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video Support,
you can control multiple dual-monitor computers while
enjoying digitally clean and clear images.
