Abstract
A system and method to connect multiple digital visual interface sources (DVI) from one or multiple computers to any combination of multiple monitors that can be controlled through USB or manual selection. A video signal switching apparatus and circuitry, including an electronic crosspoint switch, enables switching very high speed video signals. The device can also be used to enable video signals from multiple computers with digital video interfaces to be displayed on multiple display devices.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more input modules adapted to receive digital video data signals;
- a control module adapted to generate control signals;
- a switching module adapted to receive the digital video data signals from the one or more input modules and the control signals from the control module and the switching module adapted to output digital video data signals;
- and
- two or more output modules adapted to output digital video data from the one or more input modules as a function of the output digital video data signals.
