Abstract
A system and method to connect multiple digital visual interface sources (DVI) from one or multiple computers to any combination of multiple monitors that can be controlled through USB or manual selection. A video signal switching apparatus and circuitry, including an electronic crosspoint switch, enables switching very high speed video signals. The device can also be used to enable video signals from multiple computers with digital video interfaces to be displayed on multiple display devices.
