System Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Vista KM III, USB Keyboard/Mouse Switch. It is the result of Rose Electronics

commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The Vista KM III is a

dedicated USB KM (Keyboard and Mouse) switch capable of selecting and switching up to 8 different

computers through USB keyboard & mouse commands. With monitors directly connected to each PC/Server,

the Vista KM III enables a single USB keyboard and mouse to connect to and control all connected

PC/Servers.

Stereo analog audio output (4-port unit only) and USB 2.0 devices can be shared between the computers.

The switch can be connected to PC’s supporting single-head, dual-head and quad-head monitors, thus

increasing the versatility of the product in managing multi-head video installations

Switching computers can be controlled using keyboard hotkeys or RS-232 commands, as well as through the

unit’s front panel push buttons.

USB keyboard and mouse emulation provides quick PC source switching by means of keyboard hotkey

sequences. The Vista KM III imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse to every attached computer

through its USB connection, even when the computers are not currently selected.

The Vista KM III is particularly suited to control desk and NOC applications where space constraints are a

major consideration, and where the user needs a quick and easy way to switch between multiple connected

PC/Servers.
