2-port DVI-I dual-link KVM switch
with USB 2.0 sharing, to access and control two DVI, VGA or HDMI computers from a single USB keyboard/mouse and one monitor
SM-DVN-2S is a multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing two computers through one monitor, one USB keyboard/mouse, and a set of speakers, while sharing USB devices like printers, memory devices, scanners, etc.
The video connectors on the unit are DVI-I, which allows support for DVI, or VGA, or HDMI using inexpensive passive adapters or adapter-cables. Connected computers can be a mix of either DVI or HDMI when using DVI or HDMI monitors.
SM-DVN-2S supports resolution of up to 2560x1600 @ 60Hz with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction.
Flexible Control
Any external device or program supporting RS-232 can control SM-DVN-2S. SM-DVN-2S uses a very simple protocol, enabling easy integration with the RS-232 control devices.
A front-panel push-button along with keyboard hot-keys also allow the user to switch and control all the different functions of the KVM switch.
Flexible Sharing
SM-DVN-2S supports independent simultaneous device selection. It enables the use of a USB keyboard and mouse on one computer while other USB peripherals such as speakers, scanners and printers are connected to the other computer source. SM-DVN-2S maintains the ability to switch all connected devices to any one of the computer sources as with any other KVM switch in the market.
