Digital connectivity solutions provider Gefen today announced two new comprehensive KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switchers for DisplayPort computer systems using USB 2.0 peripherals. The 4×1 DPKVM Switcher and the 8×1 DPKVM Switcher connect up to four or eight computers to the same monitor and keyboard/mouse connection. This streamlines the desktop and eliminates the need for too many devices that can crowd the workspace while increasing productivity and performance.

“For post-production studio professionals, these new switchers are ideal because they can integrate many different computers without networking,� said Hagai Gefen, president and CEO, Gefen.
