Rose Vista Native

2-4-8 Port PC Switching

The Vista Native KVM switch has been specifically designed to be inexpensive, reliable and extremely compact. Ideal for any situation where a computer user needs to access up to eight different computers on a regular basis without changing their keyboard, monitor and mouse.

Basic Concepts

A single keyboard, monitor and mouse can be used to control multiple computers without swapping cables. Through simple keyboard commands, via buttons on the Vista's front panel or via the On-Screen Display (on select models) users can easily access any attached computer. Models with On-Screen Display allow maximum flexibility in computer control. Available in rackmountable 2, 4 & 8 port versions.

Boot-up and Emulation Feature

As with our entire kvm range, the Vista Native has robust keyboard and mouse emulation. Emulation simulates a keyboard and mouse synchronization signal to your computers, allowing simultaneous booting of all computers. Emulation ensures continuous computer operation without a direct connection to a keyboard or mouse.
