Dvi Switch: Transmission Of Dvi Signals From Many Sources To One

Many digital visual interface video sources can be connected to a single DVI display device using a DVI switch. It eliminates the need for having multiple monitors thereby saving additional expenditure and also saves space. Available in 2 and 4 port models, with some featuring optional audio. While the 2 port DVI switch supports single-link DVI-I video signals and allows routing of two DVI equipped devices such as PCs to a single DVI display; the 4 port switch allows routing of 4 DVI equipped devices to a single DVI display. The DVI video sources are connected to the input ports on the switch which in turn is connected to the display device. Once powered on, it is ready for operation as it works on simple plug and play functionality and does not required additional hardware or device drivers for operation. A category of video switch, it is compatible with display devices such as plasma screens, digital TVs, TFTs, LCDs, game consoles etc.
This device is also available in matrix formats which allow various configurations of interconnection possibilities. Using this, multiple video sources can be connected to multiple displays. Switching between sources is easy and can be done with the help of front panel push buttons, infra red remote control or via RS232. DVI and HDCP compliant, this switch ensures that there is no copying of digital audio and video content and no loss of data and that the resultant images are crisp and clear at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 or 480p, 720 p and 1080p for HDTVs.
A key feature of the DVI switcher is that it can automatically switch to sleep mode when video signals are not available. The status of the video sources is depicted by the LEDs which are located on the front panel. Offering multi platform compatibility, these devices work well with both Windows and MAC systems. Equipped with regulatory approvals from CE, FCC and RoHS, these devices allow a distance of up to 30 feet between the source and display devices using standard DVI cables.
Ideal for presentations, control centers, remote monitoring & training facilities, where information from multiple sources needs to be relayed on a single screen, the DVI switch finds usage in all above mentioned environments.

This combination of DVI video switch with the high quality audio has brought in major revolutions in the multimedia industry which in turn helps to route the signal from two media sources and the output is made visible on a single DVI display with speakers.
