Tustin, California – July 27, 2009
Hall Research announces today the release of the Model SW-VRS232-2S, a Dual PC Video and RS-232 Switch with a remote user option. This switch is used to allow one or two users access to the selected PC’s Serial RS-232 Port and VGA video signal.
A typical usage for this device would be to route one or two touch-screen displays to one or two PC’s. When setup with 2 user locations, either side can automatically access the selected PC simply by touching the screen. This is made possible by the unit’s automatic RS-232 switching mechanism. One CATx cable is used to extend the video and the other is used to extend bi-directional RS-232 and supply power to the remote wallplate. The user at the local station can switch between the 2 PCs by simply pushing a button on the unit’s front panel. LED indicators provide feedback as to which PC input is selected. The remote station controls the same PC as the local.
