Introduction
The
LDV-DM712AUSK/
LDV-DM714AUSK
Dual Monitor
DVI/VGA KVM Switch
is a 2/4-port TMDS-compliant Dual
Monitor DVI/VGA KVM Switch designed for sharing two
monitors/Flat Panel Displays –one DVI and one VGA monitor
specifically - between multiple 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.
This Dual Monitor DVI USB KVM Switch supports both digital
video (2048 x 1536) and analog video (1920 x 1200) for your
maximum convenience in adapting to your display
requirements. It is TMDS-compliant to support DDC2B
emulation and HDCP compliant for digital contents protection.
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.
In addition to the keyboard hotkey operation, it provides an
innovative and easy-to-use
KVM Switcher Software (for
Windows/Mac)
-- a small software client application to
facilitate your KVM switching operations such as PC selection
and hotkey sequence programming, autoscanning, autoscan
delay
time
programming,
independent/simultaneous
audio&PC switching, etc. User can use either the original
keyboard hotkey or the KVM switcher client software to
facilitate KVM operation.

switching, use the hotkey sequences.

Switcher Software
The KVM switcher software provides Windows version and
Mac version. Before you can operate the KVM switch with the
Switcher Software, you have to install it to the connected
computers. Please refer to the following sections for details of
software installation and operation.
Install the Switcher Software
Note that the Switcher Software provides an alternative way for
KVM operation in addition to the original hardware hotkeys. Thus,
if you are satisfied with the hardware hotkeys, you don’t
necessarily have to install the software client.
Step 1.
Insert the companion CD ROM into your CD drive,
and the Autorun screen will pop up (If the Autorun
feature has not been enabled on your computer. Just
find the Autorun.exe on the CDROM and double-click
it to start).
Step 2.

installation. Follow the instructions to completion. If
the installation is complete, you will see a KVM
Switcher icon appear on the system tray of your
desktop. Right-click to evoke the operation menu and
double-click to evoke the configuration box. For Mac
User, you should find the Mac switcher software (with
a file extension of .pkg or .zip) and install it on your
Mac.
The Windows switcher software is recommended for use on
Windows 98 SE or later. And the Mac switcher Software is
recommended for use on Mac OS 10.4 [Tiger] and later.
Windows Mac OS
No live connection detected
Current active PC channel is on port 1
Current active PC channel is on port 2
The KVM Switcher Software supports the Windows operating
systems. For other OS platforms such as Linux, you can still use the
keyboard hotkey -
ScrLk + ScrLK
+ (x), x = port number, to switch PC.
Some older computers with USB interface might need to
manually enable the USB option in the BIOS settings before you
can use any USB devices. If your USB interface does not work,
please check the USB option in the BIOS.
If you use Windows 95/98/SE or Mac OS and has not yet
installed a USB mouse on your computer, there might be an error
message telling you that mouse is not detected and prompting
you to decide whether to ignore the same message in the future,
and yet you will find there is no mouse movement to disable this
message….So it is suggested that you should installed your USB
mouse on your computer first, before connecting it to this KVM
Switch.
