Matrix Switch multiple computers to two monitors

    I want to set up 6 or 8 computers with a KVM switch and two monitors.

    At any given time I'd like to have the video of any PC to show on monitor #1, while the video of any other PCs is showing on monitor #2 at the same time.

    Can you recommend a solution for this application?

    Hello Lee,

    Thank you for reaching out on our HelpCenter.

    A 2-user KVM switch will allow you to accomplish this.
    Each "user" will have its own monitor, keyboard and mouse, and each such console can access (and control) anyone of the connected PCs at any given time.

    Use KVMGFilter to further narrow down your search based on desired video interface; cabling type; number of ports (for connected PCs); control methods and other features.
    Note that models using CATx cabling also offer the ability to connect PCs with different (not unified) video interfaces, by use of different 'dongles' for different computers.

    You might also want to take a look at AdderView DDX. Both models offer flexibility in terms of number of computer ports and number of users supported, although each user requires the purchase of a user-station.

    Hope this helps!
