The Rose Vista Advantage

The Rose Vista L-series models are primarily intended for server racks. They can be rack mounted, and are 1U high. They have high resolution video and are available in PC and multi-platform versions. The multi-platform version supports the Apple ADB interface and is available in DB25 only. Each port is programmable as PC or Apple. This model is available with the on-screen display (OSD) option. The OSD option allows you to configure the switch from the OSD and to program the names of your computers. When you switch to a computer, the name of the computer is shown in programmable color and position. You can also select a computer by name and switch to it. The OSD has a built-in screen saver and many other features.

Keyboard and Mouse: All Vista models support full emulation of keyboard and mouse. It works with major operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and UNIX running on workstations such as SGI, IBM RS/6000, HP 9000, Dec Alpha, and others. All models support PS/2, PS/2 wheel, or serial mice. This model does not support a physical serial mouse. When using the DB25 models with USB cables, you can use PC-USB, Apple-USB, or Sun-USB.

Video: All Vista models have very high resolution capability and support VGA video beyond 1600 x 1280 non-interlaced. Keyboard, mouse, and video signals can be driven up to 1000 feet using our CrystalView extenders.
