Introduction

The LDV-DM712AUSK Dual Monitor DVI/VGA KVM Switch is
designed for sharing two monitors/Flat Panel Display –one DVI
and one VGA monitor specifically - between two multimedia
computers with Dual Head display [1 x DVI + 1 x VGA]. Its 7.1
channel surround sound renders a theater digital audio
experience that greatly enlivens your DVD playbacks or gaming
sessions. You can sit back and enjoy to the full with live
audio/video output from this KVM switch. The 2 extra USB 2.0
hub ports are for sharing high-speed USB 2.0 devices. However,
to offer full driver support to some advanced USB 2.0 gadgets
that need their own drivers for full function, it also provide a
Device port with no emulation for the direct signal pass-through
required for these delicate devices. Thus, you can connect it to
the transceiver of your wireless/Bluetooth keyboard/mouse to
enable its full driver and functional support.
This KVM Switch also allows its user to upgrade firmware
contents whenever is needed to enhance compatibility or
functionality. Thus, your investment on this KVM Switch is further
ensured and its life-time value just maximized!
