2 Port Dual Monitor DVI KVMP Switch with Audio

IOGEAR's GCS1642 2-Port DualView DVI KVMP Switch marks a leap in KVM functionality by combining IOGEAR's DynaSync™ with the widescreen graphics resolution of today's 30+ inch monitors, supporting DualView / Dual-Link DVI, 2560 x 1600 (higher than 1080p HD) and 3D graphics. Two DualView / Dual-Link display computers can be accessed and controlled from a single console running dual-displays.

This unique KVMP can increase efficiency and save equipment cost for applications where high resolution, 3D graphics, large or widescreen dual-display monitors are required, for situations such as:

  • CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
  • Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design / Video Editing
  • Medical / Surgical / Diagnostic Displays
  • And High-End Gaming

4K UHD Resolution

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.
