The Gefen EXT-DVIK-MV-41 is a high-performance DVI KVM multiview switcher that lets you control four computers from a single dual-monitor workstation. Engineered for reliability in professional environments, this device enables operators to monitor multiple systems simultaneously, switch between machines with ease, and keep critical information front and center on a dedicated second display. Whether you’re coordinating complex hardware testing, managing multiple design rigs, or overseeing a multi-server setup, the EXT-DVIK-MV-41 delivers crisp DVI video, flexible viewing options, and intuitive control that helps you stay productive and precise under pressure.

  • Quad-View Multiview capability lets you observe up to four computer images on the primary monitor, enabling fast cross-checks, issue identification, and side-by-side comparisons without swapping cables or displays.
  • Dual-Monitor workflow supports a primary screen showing the multiview presentations while the secondary monitor switches to full-screen display of the currently selected computer for in-depth work, debugging, or detailed analysis.
  • Comprehensive KVM control enables seamless keyboard and mouse sharing across all four systems, reducing desk clutter and ensuring a single, centralized console for efficient operation.
  • Flexible switching options include convenient on-device controls and optional remote control, so you can change active sources from your workstation chair, control desk, or a remote location as needed.
