The MasterView Pro KVM Switch is a control unit
that allows access to multiple PCs from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and
monitor). Before the development of the MasterView, the only way to control
multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and
costly network system. Now, with the MasterView Pro, you can easily access
multiple computers in a cost effective manner.
This MasterView Pro unit can control up to 4 PCs. Up to 31
additional Master View Pros can be daisy chained (for a total of up to 32
units), which means that up to 128 PCs can all be controlled from a single
keyboard-monitor-mouse console. The MasterView Pro has dedicated cascading ports
so no CPU ports are lost when cascading or daisy chaining units.
Standard KVM switches on the market today have a single
CPU to control all incoming and outgoing mouse signals. This causes the majority
of keyboard and mouse problems you see with other KVM switches. Our Pro Series
units provide a dedicated CPU for each port so you have a much more stable work
environment. The keyboard and mouse signals can also be reset from the unit
without powering down the PC in case problems occur.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their
appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, so
there is no need to get involved in complex software installation routines or be
concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the MasterView Pro intercepts
keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all
operating systems.
The MasterView Pro provides three convenient methods to
access any PC connected to the system: using the port selection switches located
on the MasterView Pro’s front panel; entering Hot Key combinations from the
keyboard; and using the menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) feature.
A powerful Quick View Scan Mode feature allows you to auto
scan and monitor the activities of all operating PCs on the installation one by
one. Responding to the growing use of multimedia in the work station space, the
MasterView Pro has been designed with built in microphone and speaker support -
a feature that will be increasingly essential over time.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
MasterView Pro installation. By allowing a single console to manage all the
attached PCs, the MasterView Pro eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate
keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each PC as well as saving all the space they
would take up. It also eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved
in constantly moving around from one PC to another.
