I've been trying to figure this one out for 2 weeks now, still no good solution... So here's what I've got: 3 computers 2 large displays 1 small display (the "console" near kb/mouse) 1 kb 1 mouse My goal: To have 3 computers hooked up to 2 large displays, and being able to control them and preview whats on their screen (one at a time) from a single console (small display, kb, mouse).... Think: a presentation where one guy stands at a podium and is able to control whats displayed on the two large screens behind him from his small display/kb/mouse on the podium in front of him. At any given time the two large displays should be showing the video out from two different machines - and I should be able to switch one of the large displays to the video out of the 3rd computer at any time, while maintaining a picture on both displays (no "KVM blackout" because of a switch). I was thinking I could hookup the small display+kb+mouse to the KVM console port, then hook up KVM Port 1,2,3 to the 3 machines to at least control their kb/mouse. However the problem is with splitting the video signals correctly to have the large displays actually work. I'm not limited by the number of KVM's and VGA/DVI splitters I can use. I just have no idea how I can get this working, and I've been unable to wrap my head around it for quite a while. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter, please do post! I look forward to reading your responses... Thanks!! |

One thought would be to try using one of the more sophisticated Avocent KVM switches, or multiples in combination. It is possible to establish a many to many relationship between computers and displays. Conventionally, in a presentation, the presenter would have a single display (or multiples) for private viewing. The audience would have at least one (two in your case). They have a matrix switch product that will allow you to view any computer from any screen (all independently). The products are a bit expensive but definitely among the very best on the market. Hope this is of some help. |

I checked out the Abovent KVM products page, but I was unable to find the matrix switch product you mentioned. I found a KVM they sell to allow console to have dual monitors, however thats not what I need. If you could clarify what you meant by using multiples / many-to-many relationship, or perhaps even point me to the product which you're talking about, it would be a great help. Thanks! |
