The Adder AVG2 AdderView GEM 2-port KVM switch is the ultimate in desktop KVM convenience and allows up to two computers to be controlled from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. All connections are made at the rear and with Adder's own VKVM cables.  Adder GEM switch is extremely compact and takes up very little space on your busy desktop or in a crowded server room.  The AVG2 is designed for ease of use and maximum compatibility with new and existing computer systems.  This 2 port KVM switch features SmartBoot, which intelligently allows all connected portable or desktop computers to boot as if they had their own dedicated keyboards and mice attached. It also supports PC/AT and PS/2 systems and provides high video bandwidth with low distortion at screen resolutions up to 1900 x 1440. This makes the AV62 the ideal choice for use with larger monitors in CAD or DTP environments. The latest monitors equipped with DDC interfaces are also supported and this facilitates true ""Plug-and-Play"" compatibility.
