Dual-monitor KVM for two computers

The IOGEAR GCS1642MDPKIT lets you control two computers from one keyboard, one mouse and two DVI monitors. It supports Dual-Link DVI up to 2560x1600 and 4K UHD 3840x2160 depending on the source. The kit includes four active Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters so you can mix DVI and mDP computer outputs. Audio, microphone and two USB 2.0 peripheral ports are built in.

Ideal for mixed DVI and mDP sources

Suits home offices or small businesses that need dual-view switching between two computers with different video outputs. Not for users whose monitors only have DisplayPort inputs, because the included adapters only convert mDP sources to DVI. Buyers needing more than two computer ports or higher refresh rates at 4K should look elsewhere. The switch operates between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius with humidity up to 80 percent.

Plug-and-play with included cables

No software installation is required; switching works via pushbutton, hotkeys or mouse gestures. The box supplies two Dual-Link DVI-D KVM cables, two Dual-Link DVI-D cables, the four adapters and a 5.3V 2.4A power adapter. A common issue is forgetting to connect the USB Type-B cables from each computer, which leaves keyboard and mouse control inactive. Ensure both DVI and USB links are seated for full operation.

Questions about this item

What dual-link DVI cables must I already have to connect my two monitors to the console ports?

You need two dual-link DVI cables with DVI-I or DVI-D plugs to match the two female DVI-I console ports on the switch.

Will the 4K UHD 3840x2160 resolution work if one of my two computers only has single-link DVI outputs?

Single-link DVI is limited to 1920x1200, so that computer cannot drive 4K; the other computer must supply dual-link DVI or Mini DisplayPort for 3840x2160.

Which LED indicators confirm that both monitors, keyboard, mouse and audio are active on the selected computer?

Two green KVM LEDs show the active computer, two green USB peripheral LEDs confirm keyboard and mouse, and two green audio LEDs confirm speaker and microphone paths.
