Expanded Peripheral Sharing

The KVM Kit is designed to control up to 512 computers by cascading the IOGEAR 8-Port USB HD Switch (GCS1808H) up to three levels. The built-in USB 2.0 hub allows peripheral sharing between the connected system and administrators can easily broadcast messages, announcements, firmware updates, or notifications to all connected sources.

EDID Support

IOGEAR's Video DynaSync™ technology optimizes the display resolution by reading and remembering the monitor's parameters (EDID) so there is no delay or change in video resolution when switching between or booting computers.

*DynaSync provides EDID support for Windows 10


Simple Switching Methods

Quickly switch between connected computers by manually pressing the front panel pushbuttons, entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or via the on-screen display (OSD) system. The KVM's convenient Auto-Scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitoring of activities on all connected devices.
