The Master View 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
Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single
console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the Master View
Pro, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.
Depending on the model, a Master View Pro unit can control up to 4, 8, or 16 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, 256, or 512 PCs can all be controlled from a single keyboard-
monitor-mouse console.
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
Master View Pro intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform
and with all operating systems.
The Master View Pro provides three convenient methods to access any PC connected to
the system: using the port selection switches located on the Master View 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 Master View 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 Master View Pro installation.
By allowing a single console to manage all the attached PCs, the Master View 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.
