OVERVIEW

The ServSwitch 4Site provides control and real-time

monitoring for up to four PCs from one console with keyboard,

video, and mouse. The ServSwitch 4Site is a classic 4-port

keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch—plus, it features

simultaneous monitoring of four different computer video

sources on a single screen. Control up to four remote PCs

connected to the ServSwitch 4Site from a single local KVM

console.

The ServSwitch 4Site combines KVM switching and image

processing. Users can access up to 4 servers, either by connecting

to the servers and seeing single video on their monitor, or by

seeing all 4 servers on their monitor in a quad-tiled format, at

the same time, in real time.

The ServSwitch 4Site supports analog VGA as well as digital

DVI. All combinations of DVI and VGA (graphic cards and

monitors) are supported, allowing equipment to be mixed.

Resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 pixels @ 60 Hz are supported.

Typical applications include using it with a KVM over IP

access point (for example, the ServSwitch Wizard IP Plus

[ACR2005A]) to operate remotely. All devices can be connected

to the ServSwitch™ from any location using Web client

via LAN/Internet.

In a large-scale switching system configuration, video signals

from any 4 computers out of a larger pool of servers can be

displayed and administered on the local console (monitor,

keyboard, and mouse).

Use either buttons on front of the unit, keyboard commands

(hotkeys), or mouse functions (hotmouse) for switching channels

or selecting the display mode (Fullscreen/Quad/PiP).

In Fullscreen Mode, one of the four computers’ video sources

is displayed in full screen size and maximum resolution.

In Quad Mode, the screen is split into four fields of equal

size, each displaying the entire screen contents of four

different video sources.

In Picture-in-Picture mode, the full screen display of one of

the four video sources is accompanied by one to three small

images (thumbnails) of the other video sources on the right-

hand margin of the screen, allowing simultaneous

monitoring.

All device parameters may be set and stored with an On

Screen Display (OSD). There are two ways to display the OSD

main menu: use Keyboard Command O or simultaneously

press the Quad and PiP buttons on front of the ServSwitch

4Site for longer than one second.

OSD menu options include System Hotkey, Mode,

Configuration, Console, Video, Computer, and Help.

The System option lets you select either multiple hotkey or

double-click hotkey, timeout for channel selection, OSD

window position, English or German language, set security

level, test pattern, and inactivate unused channels. The Mode

option allows you to choose size, zoom, position, and PiP

display mode.

The Configuration option saves the current parameters,

restores the last saved configuration, or resets the unit to

factory defaults.

The Console option selects output resolution, keyboard

layout (English or German), assigns mouse and keyboard to

video, and displays the monitor’s EDID data.

The Video option shows computer video input formats,

sets brightness, contrast, horizontal position, vertical position,

screen width, phase, and fits input format to the screen

display.
