4-Port DualView Dual-Link 
DVI KVMP Switch
IOGEAR’s  GCS1644  4-Port  DualView  Dual-Link  DVI  KVMP  Switch  marks  a  leap  in  KVM 
functionality by combining IOGEAR’s Display Technology with the widescreen graphics resolution 
of today’s 30+ inch monitors, supporting DualView / Dual-Link DVI, 2560 x 1600 (higher than 
1080p HD). Four DualView / Dual-Link display computers can be accessed and controlled from 
a single console running dual-displays!
This unique KVMP can increase efficiency and save equipment cost for applications where high 
resolution, dual-display large or wide screen monitors are required: 
• CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
• Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design / Video Editing
• Medical / Surgical / Diagnostic Displays
• And High-End Gaming, where high and ultra-high video resolution is demanded. 
The  GCS1644  also  features  two  USB  2.0  peripheral  ports  for  asynchronously  sharing  USB 
devices  between  your  computers.  A  powered  USB  hub  may  be  attached  to  the  peripheral 
ports  for  added  functionality.  Audio  and  microphone  support  makes  sharing  speakers  and  a 
microphone a convenience for the users which serves as an extra value.
The IOGEAR’s Display Technology remembers your monitor’s ideal resolution and refresh rate 
(EDID),  making  it  possible  to  boot  all  your  computers  simultaneously,  switch  back  and  forth 
between computers, and still maintain the ideal video settings of the monitor.
The GCS1644 offers an out-of-box solution including all cabling required for “Set-up and Go”!
