Overview
The 2 port VS261 and 4 port VS461 chart a revolutionary new
direction in multimedia functionality by combining a Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) Video Switch with stereo quality audio. It is not
necessary to have a separate display and set of speakers for
each source. Users can switch among two (VS261) or four
(VS461) media sources, and enjoy their output on a single
display and set of speakers.
The VS261 / VS461 improves on previous video switch designs
by incorporating DVI connectors. DVI supports both digital video
(flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs
and set-top boxes) and analog video (traditional monitors and
TVs).
The VS261 / VS461 works on both PC compatible and Mac
systems. Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their
appropriate ports. There is no software to configure, no
installation routines, and no incompatibility problems. Two
convenient methods are available to switch among media input
sources: port selection pushbuttons located on the unit's front
panel; and an IR remote control.

Stereo speakers for audio output
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer that

display)
Cables
Two (VS261) or four (VS461) sets of DVI cable are required to
