About IOGEAR GCS1642X

IOGEAR's GCS1642X 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 dual monitors, Dual-Link resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 (higher than 1080p HD) and 3D graphics. Control two DVI display computers from a single console running dual-displays. This unique KVMP increases efficiency and saves equipment costs for applications where high resolutions, 3D graphics and large or widescreen dual-display monitors are required. It is perfect for applications such as:

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

Quad Monitor Display
Connect two GCS1642X in DCC Mode to have a Quad View console that consists of a keyboard, mouse and four monitors displayed.

Convenient Switching Methods
Switch and access four DisplayPort computers from a simple push-button on the front panel or hotkey keyboard combination. IOGEAR's 2-Port Dual-Link DVI Dual Monitor KVM Switch also offers the latest mouse port-switching functionality to change ports. Quickly switch between connected computers by clicking the wheel button on your 3-button USB mouse.

Share USB 2.0 Devices
The GCS1642X also features two USB 2.0 peripheral ports for asynchronously sharing USB devices between your computers. 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.

EDID Support
The IOGEAR's DynaSync remembers your monitor's ideal resolution and refresh rate (EDID), making it possible to boot all your computers simultaneously, switch back and forth between computers and still maintain the ideal video settings of the monitor.

Save Cost and Increase Security
This 2-port KVM also offers a cost effective solution to increase security by allowing users to switch between the Internet connected PC and an Intranet connected PC.
