Editorial Review: Product Description: The IOGEAR DVI KVMP Switch GCS1764 charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM switch functionality by providing an interface for today's digital monitors while integrating a 4-port USB KVM switch with USB peripheral sharing capabilities. As a KVM switch, the unit allows the user to access four computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor, and also share among the computers peripherals such as external hard drives, printers and scanners. The GCS1764's independent (asynchronous) switching feature allows the KVM focus to be on one computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another. The user can switch from one computer to another without interrupting print jobs, downloads or other functions being handled by connected peripherlas. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub as well as the need to purchase separate stand-alone peripheral sharers - such as printer servers, modem splitters, etc. It further improves on previous designs with DVI (Digital Video Interface) connectors, and the transfer of keyboard and mouse data to the computers via a fast, reliable USB connection. DVI supports both digital input (flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs and set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional monitors and TVs). Fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification - supports transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps DVI digital and analog monitor support - fully compliant with the DVI specifications Computer selection via front panel switches and hotkeys LED display for easy status monitoring Auto Scan Mode for monitoring all computers Complete keyboard emulation for error free booting Superior Video quality - 1600 x 1200; DDC2B Hot pluggable - add or remove computers for maintenance Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tiny, easy to install, and works like a champ.Purchased this unit for the 1920x1200 resolution, the DVI and sound inputs, and the 4 ports. Unit exceeded my expectations. This unit is tiny! Less than 11 inches wide and 4 inches deep. It's about the size of a desktop 3 hole punch or a household spray can. The KVM cables and power plug into the back and the console plugs into the front. The unit is sturdy though. Case is metal and not plastic -- unlike some lower price KVMs. You can stack stuff on top of it. I ... Read More Rating: - Works greatThis product works great for me. Hooked up to it I have: PowerMac G5 with ATI Radeon 9600 Core 2 Quad Ubuntu Hardy box with onboard Intel GMA X3500 Macbook Core 2 Duo with Intel GMA X3100 I first ordered a Startech Starview KVM, which showed no video from my laptop or Linux box. I returned it and got this instead. I should have gotten this from the start. Once I turned off the beeping and switched the keyboard mode to Mac, it works perfectly. Rating: - bad customer serviceI have several of these switches in use and have been satisfied with their operation in the past, this latest one had me a bit unhappy. It arrived with two defective cables, fine electrically but the knobs that turn the studs to secure the cables to the KVM/monitor just spin on the stud. I figured it would be no big deal and called IOGear tech support only to be told that they would not ship me two replacement cables and that I'd have to ship the entire switch back to Amazon and get it ...

Alas, I could not get this switch to work properly with 2 PCs at that resolution. The best I achieved was a display with lots of lines dancing around, and random red pixels. Worst case, there was just a band across the middle of the screen - the video changed every time I cycled ports. Another computer running at 1600 x 1200 - which is ... Read More Rating: - Works as advertisedI've owned multiple KVMs over the years, and this is the only one that has ever worked exactly as advertised. Not only does this one actually support Logitech mice (I've only tried wired ones), and the Microsoft Natural 4000 (the web/home and favorites keys work!), but USB devices are not disconnected when the hub switches away. USB 2.0 works. I have never, ever been able to get hotkeys to work on the other switches, but this one makes it easy. (My last switch was a 4-port Raritan that promised ... Read More |
