IOGEAR's 16-port USB HDMI KVMP switch also features multi-display functionality, which enables the use of standard USB cables to stack up to 8 GCS1816H switches in a multi-display installation where each computer is fitted with multiple video cards.

Furthermore, the GCS1816H comes with IOGEAR's Video DynaSync™ technology, optimizing display resolution when booting or switching.

1) Using the push-button port selection located on the front panel
2) Entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard
3) Selecting from on-screen display (OSD) menu

Auto-Scan feature enables automatic scanning and monitoring of all computers on the installation, one by one.

IOGEAR's GCS1816H provides multimedia keyboard and audio support. Enjoy 2.1 surround sound output of each computer on two sets of speakers (one at a time basis).

IOGEAR's GCS1816H is Plug-N-Play. There is no software or driver for configuration, no installation routines, and no incompatibility problems. Simply connect the included KVM cables
into their appropriate ports. The GCS1816H intercepts keyboard input directly and works on multiple operating platforms (PC compatible, Mac, Sun, etc.)

2) Saves all the space extra components will take up
3) Saves energy costs, and
4) Eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another
