Description
The SmartAVI MU88-S is a high-performance 8x8 transparent USB 2.0 matrix switch designed to enable seamless control and sharing of up to eight computers across eight independent workstations. Built for demanding environments such as control rooms, command centers, and multi-user operations, this solution allows users to access and manage multiple systems without physically switching devices.
With true transparent USB support and no emulation, the MU88-S ensures native compatibility with keyboards, mice, and a wide range of USB peripherals including external drives, printers, and scanners. Its intuitive front-panel controls with LCD display allow quick switching, while the integrated web-based interface provides advanced remote management over Ethernet.
Engineered for reliability and efficiency, the MU88-S simplifies workflows by centralizing USB connectivity and eliminating the need for constant reconnections, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical applications.
