Reverse KVM Control one computer from three locations

    I have one computer on one floor that I wish to be able to access and control from three different locations (three separate consoles) - one at a time - from another floor.

    The maximum distance is about 50 feet.

    The computer has USB keyboard/mouse and HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort video outputs.

    Can you recommend a product that can accomplish this?

    A KVM splitter ('reverse KVM switch') will accomplish this for you.

    In particular, VOPEX USB KVM Splitter/Extender, 4-Ports allows the consoles to be extended away form the computer, over CAT-5, and so you will also need to get 3 receiver units (see listing at the bottom of the product page), one for each console.

    The only problem with this solution is that it supports VGA video. This means you will need to use VGA screens at your consoles, and will need one DisplayPort-VGA adapter to connect your computer to the KVM splitter.
