Support of digital and analog video signals
Computers that provide digital or analog video signals can be connected to the KVM
switches of the DVIMUX8-OSD series. The signal type (digital or analog) that is trans-
mitted from computer to KVM switch is displayed unaltered on the connected monitor.
Uniform signal type within one video channel
Install a console monitor that can display the uniform signal type of the computer's
video channels (only digital or analog).
EXAMPLE:
The video signal of all computers is digitally (DVI signals) transmitted
to the KVM switch. A digital monitor is required to display the signals on the con-
sole monitor.
Different signal types within one video channel
If you want to transmit digital (for example over CPU 1) and analog (for example
over CPU 2) video signals of different computers, connect the DVI-Divider adapter to
the Monitor x interface of the KVM switch.
The adapter provides both DVI and VGA output. Connect both outputs of the
adapter to the console monitor.
NOTE:
Choose a monitor which can process digital as well as analog video data.
Such monitors provide a DVI and a VGA interface.
Depending on the input signal, modern monitors usually switch the signal type inde-
pendently. Otherwise, you must carry out the switching from digital to analog signal
processing (and vice versa) manually.
