2-Port HD Multimedia KVMP Switch with Audio
GCS1792
IOGEAR's GCS1792 2-Port HD Multimedia KVMP Switch with Audio and a 2-Port USB 2.0 hub charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM functionality by combining advanced HD and USB 2.0 technology. The HD KVM Switch enables effortless control over 2 HD devices or computers using a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and single high definition display or HDTV.
This advanced HD KVMP can increase efficiency and save equipment cost for applications where HD resolutions, large or widescreen HD monitors are used and required:
- Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design / Video Editing
- Digital Home Entertainment
- High-End Gaming, where high video resolution (1080p HD) is demanded
IOGEAR’s 2-Port HD KVMP Switch supports HD digital inputs from:
- Home / Office Computers
- HTPC’s (Home Theater PC's)
- Blu-Ray Players
- Game Consoles
The HD digital output supports various high definition TV resolutions. Connect your high definition display, HDTV (flat panel, plasma, DLP, digital TV’s) and data projectors. The GCS1792 2-Port HD KVMP Switch is HDCP compliant. It is also equipped with IOGEAR’s Display Emulation Technology* which reads and remembers the monitor's parameters (EDID) eliminating any delays or change in video resolution when switching between, or booting computers.
The GCS1792 features two USB 2.0 peripheral ports for asynchronously sharing USB devices between your computers. 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. A powered USB hub may be attached to the peripheral ports for added functionality.
The GCS1792 offers a simple plug-and-play out-of-box solution; including all cabling required for “Set-up and Go”!
