    There doesn't appear to be an off-the-shelf reliable solution for your quad-DVI-video KVM switching request requiring the support of more than 4 computers in one box.

    [​IMG]Where most manufacturers allow synchronizing between KVM switches in order to expand the number of computers, Adder's synching between KVM switches expands the number of video ports per computer the system will support.

    As a result, you may use the 8-port AdderView 8 PRO DVI (which supports 8 computers, with one video per computer) and sync it to additional such switches. When you sync 4 of these units, you will end up with a switching system supporting 8 computers, each with 4 video heads, allowing you to switch between the computers and control then with one console consisting of one keyboard, one mouse and 4 monitors.

    A year later... the just-released AdderView DDX system, with its flexible ability to be configured for multi-screen applications, can support up to five (5) quad-video computers. As an added feature, it can also support having two (2) consoles (each with four monitors; one keyboard/mouse) controlling the five computers.

    This multi-user functionality is something the AdderView 4 PRO DVI MultiScreen, Quad-Head doesn't support.
