The CS1642 USB 2.0 DVI dual view KVMP switch charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch functionality by combining a 2-port KVM switch with a 2-port USB 2.0 hub at the same time as providing dual-screen support for two DVI displays, making it ideal for graphic designers, banking and finance consultants, medical applications, and gamers.
