4-Port Dual-Link DVI KVMP with 2.1 Sound Audio

The GCS1204 is another revolutionary addition to Iogear's market leading KVM product line. It is a 4-port Dual Link DVI KVMP switch with stereo audio ports and an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 hub. Now, users can control up to four computers and share multiple USB peripherals from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console.

It features the DynaSync* making the switch intelligent to read and remember the monitor's optimal display parameters and refresh rate, a function critical in today's graphic intense applications where large wide screen displays (up to 30") are used. The GCS1204 supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2400. Additionally, the patented asynchronous switching allows the user to independently switch applications between the connected computers. You can run one application on one computer while running another application on the other. Moreover, the integrated 2-port USB 2.0 hub is available for each computer to share multiple peripherals connected to the hub or via an external powered USB 2.0 hub. Access to such peripherals is performed on a one-at-a-time basis. Finally, the audio ports allow for connecting powered PC speakers for stereo sound and a single microphone for audio input/output to each computer.

Switching between computers can be done in two convenient ways: 1) push button port selection located on the unit's front panel, 2) A "Hotkey" combinations entered from the keyboard.

Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure or install. Also, the included USB to PS/2 converter permits flexible configurations for the keyboard and mouse.

The GCS1204 is ideal for applications where high resolution monitors are used or required, such as in computer aided design (CAD), desktop publishing and graphic design, video editing, and gaming.
