    KVM Switch

    Hello everyone, I am building a system for a client and he is wanting a KVM switch. I had built a system not too long ago that had a cheap KVM I found at Best Buy but it wasn't the greatest. Looking for advice for something better without breaking the bank. I don't mind paying for a good product but I also don't want to go overboard with something that i don't need. Basically they are going to leave the Catalysts backstage with one being active and one running as a backup, and will have the monitor, keyboard, and mouse at FOH.

    What have you guys used with success in a configuration like this? Thanks in advance for any help, Matt

    Do you mean KVM switch - i.e. to switch between main and backup?

    or

    KVM extender - to extend the Keyboard Monitor and Mouse over cat5 to FOH?

    or combination of both?

    they are 2 distinctly different products...

    most of the adderlink range is good, depending upon signal types and distance.
    (avoid the infinity series - It doesn't work...)

    gefen is also cheap...

    There are many serial controlled matrixes on the market, which either catalyst could control
    available in 2 way or 4 way depending what you need to do...
