KNV2108D
This 2-console-8-computer KVM switch enables one user to operate up to eight computers from one of two different locations. While in idle, both consoles show the same computer information; but only one console has control at a time. For security reasons, only one console has the information when it takes control and the other console's screen is blanked leaving the keyboard LEDs (Num/Caps/Scroll Lock) flashing.


To gain control is as simple as moving your mouse or typing your keyboard. A timeout setting in the OSD menu defines the amount of time before the KNV2108D returns to idle after someone has just operated it.

Select a computer by front push buttons, by hot key commands or by the on-screen pop up menu. The OSD menu enables you to assign computer names, identify and select computer by the names. Programmable scan lets you select computers of interest during automatic and manual scan operations. Password security prevents unauthorized access.

To expand your control up to 64 computers, you can easily cascade up to eight KNV108 switches. To save your money, these KNV108 do not have to be OSD equipped, because the KNV2108D has OSD menu already. That is the benefit of having your KVM switches from the same family.

KNV2108D has Standard VGA and PS/2 connectors enabling you to use off-the-shelf PC cables for short distance connection. It is compatible to both PC/AT serial and PS/2 mice and keyboard. Mixing computers of both styles is no problem in the same installation. Rextron provides high quality UL-2919 rated 3-in-1 cables for superb VGA quality and long distance applications up to 75 ft (25M).

On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu For KNV108D only
For NovaViews with built-in OSD control, you can name your computers, switch to a desired computer from a list, configure settings with easy-to-use menus, view the name of the selected computer on-screen with programmable time interval, etc. Besides, the OSD displays the system status and your NovaView layout throughout operation. Improved technology ensures steady OSD menu between computers of different VGA resolutions and smooth switching without leaving OSD garbage characters on the screen.
Automatic Mouse Conversion High Video Quality
This technology enables you to connect computers with either PS/2 or serial mouse ports to the NovaView, and control the computers from one PS/2 mouse. With a special mouse adapter connected to a computer using serial mouse, the NovaView automatically identifies the mouse and switches to proper mouse protocol.
NovaView supports VGA resolution up to 1920x1440 without any degradation. Besides, advanced VGA circuit design guarantees smooth and flicker-free switching from one computer to the other.
