The 2x1
DVI USB & Audio Switcher from ComputerCableStore™.
Switches DVI, USB & Audio between any Two Computers with a DVI port (PC or Mac)
Now you can switch easily and reliably between any combination of two DVI and USB equipped computers (PC or Mac) - using only one keyboard, LCD monitor and mouse. The DVI Switcher saves space - there's no need to work on a desk crowded with double LCD monitors, keyboards and mouse devices. It saves time - there's no need to move from one monitor to another to access different computers. And, it saves money - there's no need to purchase additional LCD monitors, mouse devices, keyboards etc.
The DVI Switcher switches DVI video and USB, if you only require the switching of DVI video then please visit our HDTV switcher page. Any Apple's flat panel displays can be connected when used with the DVI to ADC Conversion Box. This device is HDCP Pass-Through Compliant.
How it works:
The DVI Switcher switches DVI, USB and audio between two computers located near each other. Simply plug your peripherals directly into the back of the Switcher, connect the cables to the computers you want to control, push to select the computer you want to work on, and you're switching. The DVI Switcher allows you to choose between a Macintosh or PC keyboard/video/mouse combination. Switching between computers is done from a key switch or remotely using contact closure remote control.

In information technology, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to connect devices to a host computer. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve plug and play capabilities by allowing hot swapping; that is, by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer or turning off the device. Other convenient features include providing power to low-consumption devices, eliminating the need for an external power supply; and allowing many devices to be used without requiring manufacturer-specific device drivers to be installed.
DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. Recently, however, the consumer electronics industry began implementing DVD players, set-top boxes, televisions, and LCD/plasma monitors with DVI technology.
DVI-I, or Digital Video Interface Technology Intergrated came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. DVI-I will support both Digital and analog video signals.
High-definition television (or HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast; the earliest implementations used analog broadcasting, but today digital television (DTV) signals are used, requiring less bandwidth due to digital video compression.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), or Unified Display Interface (UDI) connections. HDCP does not address whether copying would be permitted by fair use laws. The specification is proprietary, and implementing HDCP requires a license.
