Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Wizard DVI DL
from Black Box. This compact unit allows a single
operator to control up to eight computer systems and
share peripherals among them in a very flexible manner.
The Wizard DVI DL benefits greatly from our long
history of success in KVM (Keyboard, Video and
Mouse) switching. As a result, it can reliably switch
multiple signals (including dual link digital video at up
to 330Mpixels per second) in a manner that is totally
transparent during operation. However, this unit
offers more than just straight switching between eight
systems. The KVM, speakers and two separate USB
devices attached to the Wizard DVI DL can be switched
in unison between any of the connected systems, as
normal. However, you also have the option to mix your
peripherals between any of the systems, to suit your
current tasks. For instance, you could be creating emails
on one system, listening to a soundtrack from another
while a third is sending documents to your printer and
a fourth performing another task with a different USB
peripheral. The on-screen menu or the Wizard DVI DL
front panel make it straightforward to control which
peripherals should connect to each system.
The Wizard DVI DL also marks the debut of a significant
advance in USB keyboard and mouse switching. This
is the first product to feature True Emulation which
ensures that the full characteristics of the connected
keyboard and mouse are passed to every system.
This supersedes the previous method of presenting
default identities to the systems, which did not allow
for specialized features present on either the keyboard
or mouse. With True Emulation, you will find that,
subject to the correct drivers being used on each
system, the Wizard DVI DL will faithfully represent the
special characteristics of your keyboard and mouse.
Digital and analogue video
Each of the eight computer channels
has a DVI/I video connector which
allows either DVI digital or VGA
analogue signals to be input. At the
console connections, the Wizard
DVI DL uses separate DVI/D and
VGA connectors to allow the easy
attachment of either type of monitor,
or to permit dual connections to auto-
switching monitors that can operate
with either type of input.
Multiple switching
The attached peripheral devices can be
switched collectively to any computer
system, or can be linked to separate
systems to achieve multiple tasks in
parallel. Multiple switching can be
controlled from the on screen menu or
using the front panel buttons.
True Emulation
Earlier USB KVM switches relied
upon standard keyboard and mouse
templates to inform each computer
system how to deal with the
connected peripherals. The Wizard
DVI DL succeeds in harvesting the true
identities of the connected keyboard
and mouse and presents those ‘real’
profiles concurrently to every system.
Thus, specialist keyboards and mice
can be fully supported.
