Black Box ServSwitch Wizard DVI DL Manual De Usuario

®

Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Wizard DVI DL  
from Black Box. This compact unit allows a single 
operator to control up to eight computer systems and 
share peripherals among them in a very flexible manner.
The Wizard DVI DL benefits greatly from our long 
history of success in KVM (Keyboard, Video and 
Mouse) switching. As a result, it can reliably switch 
multiple signals (including dual link digital video at up 
to 330Mpixels per second) in a manner that is totally 
transparent during operation. However, this unit 
offers more than just straight switching between eight 
systems. The KVM, speakers and two separate USB 

devices attached to the Wizard DVI DL can be switched 
in unison between any of the connected systems, as 
normal. However, you also have the option to mix your 
peripherals between any of the systems, to suit your 
current tasks. For instance, you could be creating emails 
on one system, listening to a soundtrack from another 
while a third is sending documents to your printer and 
a fourth performing another task with a different USB 
peripheral. The on-screen menu or the Wizard DVI DL 
front panel make it straightforward to control which 
peripherals should connect to each system. 

The Wizard DVI DL also marks the debut of a significant 
advance in USB keyboard and mouse switching. This 
is the first product to feature 

 which 

ensures that the full characteristics of the connected 
keyboard and mouse are passed to every system. 
This supersedes the previous method of presenting 
default identities to the systems, which did not allow 
for specialized features present on either the keyboard 
or mouse. With 

subject to the correct drivers being used on each 
system, the Wizard DVI DL will faithfully represent the 
special characteristics of your keyboard and mouse.

Each of the eight computer channels 
has a DVI/I video connector which 
allows either DVI digital or VGA 
analogue signals to be input. At the 
console connections, the Wizard 
DVI DL uses separate DVI/D and 
VGA connectors to allow the easy 
attachment of either type of monitor, 
or to permit dual connections to auto-
switching monitors that can operate 
with either type of input.

The attached peripheral devices can be 
switched collectively to any computer 
system, or can be linked to separate 
systems to achieve multiple tasks in 
parallel. Multiple switching can be 
controlled from the on screen menu or 
using the front panel buttons.        

Earlier USB KVM switches relied 
upon standard keyboard and mouse 
templates to inform each computer 
system how to deal with the 
connected peripherals. The Wizard 
DVI DL succeeds in harvesting the true 
identities of the connected keyboard 
and mouse and presents those ‘real’ 
profiles concurrently to every system. 
Thus, specialist keyboards and mice 
can be fully supported.
