AdderView Prism 2 and 4 Port

AdderView Prism - a 'reverse KVM switch' that enables up to four consoles to access a single computer or KVM switch. Ideal for video splitting, resource sharing and KVM matrix applications. The AdderView Prism is a compact 'reverse KVM switch' that enables you to connect multiple KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse) consoles to a single computer or KVM Switch.
