KVM switches

Multiple computers at one workplace – with just one keyboard and mouse.

What is a KVM switch?

A KVM switch connects several computers to one workplace. You operate every connected computer with just one keyboard and mouse and switch between them – without swapping peripherals and without leaving your workplace.

The switch itself does not bridge distance: signals are passed through directly and uncompressed. If the workplace needs to sit further away, KVM extenders can be added – either between computer and switch or between switch and workplace. For larger installations with many workplaces, KVM matrix systems are the answer.

G&D KVM switches serve up to eight computers and up to four monitors per computer. They frequently form the basis of redundant setups in control room applications.

Finding the right product

Video signal and resolution

The starting point for any selection is the video interface on your computers.

DisplayPort 1.4 – up to 5120 × 2880 at 60 Hz (5K) ⟨or 7680 × 4320 at 30 Hz — please confirm⟩. Embedded audio is included.
DisplayPort 1.2 – up to 4096 × 2160 at 60 Hz (4K). Embedded audio is included.
DualLink DVI – up to 2560 × 1600 at 60 Hz (2K), with mixed DVI and VGA signals on inputs and outputs.
No video – keyboard/mouse switches carry keyboard and mouse signals only. Monitors stay connected directly to the computers.

Number of computers and monitors

Two figures determine the size of the switch: how many computers it serves, and how many monitors are connected per computer.

— Computers: two, three, four or eight, depending on family
— Monitors per computer: one to four, indicated by the MC2, MC3 and MC4 variants

A switch for four computers with two monitors each therefore handles eight video signals.

Switching and operation

Switching between computers works via front-panel buttons, configurable hotkeys or a serial device. Selected variants additionally support dry contacts (DCS).

InstantSwitching changes sources seamlessly in real time, with no image rebuild on switchover – available on DP1.2-MUX3-ATC, developed for air traffic control.

CrossDisplay Switching allows a fluid transition between several locally connected monitors using one mouse.

Network connection and monitoring

The NT variants provide a network port with web interface and monitoring. The port serves monitoring and configuration of the switch, not signal transmission.

Variants with redundant power supply are available for mission-critical environments.
