In sci-fi films remotely resembling reality, and various films about hackers, the theme often flashes when one user uses several displays for different tasks. This form of communication between humans and computers is familiar to almost everyone and is quite common in the real world. But there is another side to the “coin” - one connected monitor to two system units. Why do this? What will it give? And most importantly, how to connect two system units to one monitor? We will consider the answers to these and other questions.

One way to figure out how to connect two computers to the same monitor is to use KVM. This strange abbreviation in English means keyboard-video-mouse. And in Russian - an object that connects input devices (mouse and keyboard) and output (display) between several computers. That is, control is performed by one keyboard and mouse. Comfortable enough. There are KVMs and up to 12 objects, but not about them. In principle, it is possible to connect the workstation and the server in other ways, but this one has some advantages that are advantageous in contrasting the others. KVM allows you to perform almost any operation with the server, including the BIOS, without being distracted by the operating system, and as a result, it is possible to install any programs and OS on the second computer through the device. Very convenient one-button operation. Clicked and work.Divide and rule
Having dealt with the goals and objectives, we will begin a step-by-step examination of the question of how to connect two computers to one monitor.
On the KVM device, there are ports for a video card, keyboard, and mouse. There are inputs for both incoming and outgoing signals. We connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard to the jacks with the OUT sign. The OUT sign is located only on one side of the switch. To make a mistake, in principle, is difficult. There is KVM for PS / 2 ports (standard), there is for USB. Now the most common USB-outs, but if desired, you can find models with old inputs or buy adapters.KVM- . . , , . . .
