Video DynaSync: A Key Technology for Switched Sharing of Modern Monitors

Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switching has come a long way over the years. The solution category has proliferated into a group of four core segments. All have a few characteristics in common. Beyond that, they diverge into well-defined groups of products with shared characteristics. This paper summarizes the most important characteristics shared by all KVM solutions; defines the difference between analog and digital products; and then provides an overview on each of the sub-categories: Matrix KVM, High-density KVM, IP-Based KVM and LCD KVM.
