Video Matrix Switch: Route High Resolution Video from Multiple Sources to Multiple Displays
A series of interconnection possibilities can be created using a Video Matrix Switch which connects multiple display devices to multiple sources. Each display device can be independently connected to one or all displays. Display devices like LCDs, CRTs, and Projectors are all supported by these switches. Depending upon the type of video signal which is relayed, this device can be further classified as a Composite Matrix switch, VGA Matrix switch, VGA AV matrix switch, DVI Matrix Switch, HDMI Matrix Switch, Component Matrix Switch and CAT5 AV Matrix Switch. During the process of relaying the signals, there is no ghosting or data loss and signal integrity is maintained. Video resolution up to 1900 x 1200 can be supported by the Video Matrix Switcher.
Connections can be secured using standard UTP/STP cables or via normal VGA cables depending on which switch is being set up. When connected using Cat5 cables, the distance of audio and video signal transmission can be extended up to 1000ft without affecting the high quality video resolution and all this at an inexpensive price. A key feature of the matrix switcher is eliminating the need to constantly disconnect and reconnect the source and display devices since many inputs and outputs are supported. These switchers vary in sizes ranging from 2x2 desktop units, up to a 32x16 rackmount version with the ability to cascade for larger configurations. Many units also support Stereo Audio sound. Control over this Video Matrix unit is exercised using front panel push buttons, RS232, Infra red Remote Control or via IP.
The LEDs in front indicate the status of the selected devices. Consisting of a combination of a video splitter and a switch, this device does not require any additional software or device drivers for operation and works on simple plug and play functionality. Supporting multiple platforms, this switch works with Windows 200, XP, Linux, Mac and SUN operating systems. Color, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Level and Gain can all be adjusted using the OSD menu selection. Equipped with agency approvals and certifications from FCC, CE and RoHS, they have 15-pin HD connectors which are used for all computer-video input and output connections. The Video Matrix Switch is perfect for environments where we need to view information from many computers on many displays. Digital Signage applications, conference and training facilities etc. are some such examples.

Can two computers connected by a modem/router to ethernet switcher have different external IP Adresses?
I have Zyxel P-600r-d1 modem that I set to work in routing mode, then connected it to an Edimax Switch Fast Ethernet, their internet works and I can browse the internet on the two computers, my problem is that when I try to play on SA-MP, a they do not allow same Ip adresses to play on same server, my question is, can I change the external IP Addresses of the two computers because they both have the same Ip address.
Yes,
Ask your provider. Some providers are installing modems to the clients locations and if the client is installing it's own switch it will get 2 IP adresses for the first two devices which are asking DHCP requests.
One will be a server and maybe unprotected by firewalls, an other is a client, and it's ports are not routed outside.
Ask your provider! It has the tech capability to do it for you, or simply change the provider if he is telling : well, no, bla,bla, we did not do it.

DVI Switch: Transmission of DVI Signals from many sources to one
Many digital visual interface video sources can be connected to a single DVI display device using a dvi switch. It eliminates the need for having multiple monitors thereby saving additional expenditure and also saves space. Available in 2 and 4 port models, with some featuring optional audio. While the 2 port DVI switch supports single-link DVI-I video signals and allows routing of two DVI equipped devices such as PC's to a single DVI display; the 4 port switch allows routing of 4 DVI equipped devices to a single DVI display. The DVI video sources are connected to the input ports on the switch which in turn is connected to the display device. Once powered on, it is ready for operation as it works on simple plug and play functionality and does not required additional hardware or device drivers for operation. A category of video switch, it is compatible with display devices such as plasma screens, digital TVs, TFTs, LCDs, game consoles etc.
This device is also available in matrix formats which allow various configurations of interconnection possibilities. Using this, multiple video sources can be connected to multiple displays. Switching between sources is easy and can be done with the help of front panel push buttons, infra-red remote control or via RS232. DVI and HDCP compliant, this switch ensures that there is no copying of digital audio and video content and no loss of data and that the resultant images are crisp and clear at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 or 480p, 720 p and 1080p for HDTVs.
A key feature of the DVI switcher is that it can automatically switch to sleep mode when video signals are not available. The status of the video sources is depicted by the LEDs which are located on the front panel. Offering multi-platform compatibility, these devices work well with both Windows and MAC systems. Equipped with regulatory approvals from CE, FCC and RoHS, these devices allow a distance of up to 30 feet between the source and display devices using standard DVI cables.
Ideal for presentations, control centers, remote monitoring & training facilities, where information from multiple sources needs to be relayed on a single screen, the DVI switch finds usage in all above mentioned environments. This combination of DVI video switch with the high quality audio has brought in major revolutions in the multimedia industry which in turn helps to route the signal from two media sources and the output is made visible on a single DVI display with speakers.
