Multiple VGA in and one OUT

[staff.iepurasul]

Hello boys and girls

I have at home 13 PC's ( for different reasons ) . All 13 are VGA out and i have only one monitor to be able to connect to each pc at time.

My question is :
It is a device only for VGA with 5 or 10 IN and only 1 OUT ? in order to connect the monitor ? The VGA device need to be able to switch at any time from PC1 to PC 5 or 6 with a remote control or a simple button

Thank you and i really appreciate your answer

You will need a KVM switch with enough inputs. These will usually switch by using keyboard shortcuts.

That was my thought, but finding one that supports 13 systems will cost a lot. I'm also not sure you can find one like that anymore seeing as we've moved to digital. What you want is a KVM switch, but it will probably be used and expensive.

Edit: I stand corrected on the used. They are expensive.

Yeah, missed the fact that he is still using VGA.

~$180 seems like a lot to spend. And I don't know if that even supports the remote or keyboard short cut. The one we had at work that supported 15 or 20 had buttons on the front. At $180+ I'd find a cheaper way to do whatever he wants. Set them up as headless servers and telenet in for example.

Thank you very much, i think is the right for me

That was an example. That is not an official or even unofficial endorsement of that product by myself or Tom's hardware. If you want a remote you should make sure that has one and it really does what you want. I'm still at a loss as to why you'd want to spend that much. But if it makes you happy...
