IOGEAR (Irvine, CA) launched its new 7.1 surround-sound supported, 2-port Dual-Link DVI KVMP & MultiMedia Switch at Macworld, currently under way in San Francisco. The product enables users to share a Dual-Link DVI display, USB keyboard, mouse, and surround-sound system between two computers.

Incorporated with IOGEAR's Display Emulation Technology, the device supports seamless switching and consistent resolutions among computers with various operating systems by remembering the monitor's optimum parameters. This eliminates lost settings when booting or alternating between CPUs. The switch can also pass through HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) signals.

By providing console mouse-port emulation, the Dual-Link DVI KVMP & MultiMedia Switch instantly recognizes and supports the user's mouse when switching between computers. Consumers also have the option of bypassing the emulation to protect programmable mice from losing their functionality.

The switch supports 7.1 surround-sound speaker systems and DVI resolutions up to 3840 x 2400. Its ability to independently switch between KVM, USB 2.0 peripheral and audio ports enables users to toggle separately between audio functionality, connected USB devices such as hard drives, scanners, printers, and CPUs. The product is offered in a 2-port (GCS1782U) model and is compatible with all operating platforms.

The Dual Link DVI KVMP & MultiMedia Switch is priced at $399.99 (MSRP).
