Multi-screen 6-port dual-video KVM switch

    I'm looking for a dual-video KVM switch that will support 6 computers.
    Video: DVI
    Keyboard/mouse: USB

    I seem to only find such switches supporting four (or two) computers.

    Can you recommend such a switch that supports six computers?

    On the SwitchView SC8-DVI you have quoted me yesterday...

    Can you advise whether it supports hot-key keyboard switching?

    [​IMG]It looks like the SwitchView SC8-DVI does not support hot-key keyboard switching.

    This is probably due to the security features of this switch.

    We are currently reconfirming this with Avocent.

    Yes! Most of the multi-screen KVM switches in the marketplace support no more than 4 computers.

    One exception is the SwitchView SC8-DVI which supports eight (8) computers, although its keyboard/mouse interface is PS/2.

    Separately, we have emailed you the quote you have requested.

    P.S. If you wish to respond or follow-up, it is better that you sign-in before you reply to this thread (instead of posting as a guest). This will allow you to easily look up this conversation anytime, anywhere, with just one mouse click.

    We were able to reconfirm with Avocent: SwitchView SC8-DVI does not support hot-key keyboard switching.
