System Introduction
Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics

MultiVideo DVI for your DVI video
distribution applications. The MultiVideo DVI features full dual link DVI video or high
definition analogue video. The advanced emulation technology of the MultiVideo DVI
allows USB HID devices to be truly emulated to each computer, even specialty
keyboards and mice. This technology enables instantaneous and reliable hotkey
switching.
The MultiVideo DVI also features two independent switchable USB 2.0 ports and an
audio port. These ports can be switched to different computers.
Switching is accomplished using local keyboard hotkey sequences, the front panel
controls, or using a 3 button mouse. With these switching options you can quickly
reassign the connected peripherals to any of the connected computers.
Models are available supporting dual, tri or quad head DVI or VGA computers.
