LIMITED WARRANTY Rose Electronics warrants the MultiVideo ™ to be in good working order for one year from the date of purchase from Rose Electronics or an authorized dealer. Should this product fail to be in good working order at any time during this one-year warranty period, Rose Electronics will, at its option, repair or replace the Unit as set forth below.
If your system demands are greater than a single unit can provide, the MultiVideo can be easily expanded to connect up to 64 computers by chaining units together with expansion cables. All MultiVideo models can easily be expanded by chaining the units together and configuring the system.

Master to Slave unit cables In systems needing additional CPUs, the MultiVideo can be cascaded to other MultiVideos. To cascade a MultiVideo to other “Slave” units, you will need one DB25M to DB25M, switch-to-switch cable for each cascaded unit. The MultiVideo can also be expanded to add additional Video ports. A DB9M to DB9M, switch-to-switch cable is used with the MultiVideo video expansion units.

Installation – Video Expansion system The MultiVideo can be custom configured to expand the number of video ports. The example below can have up to 16 separate video sources and up to 8 video outputs. The KVM station can switch the video by simple keyboard commands, the push-button switches on the front panel, or from the on-screen display.
