Does anyone have an information on using KVM switching in a DICOM
enviroment, specifically using a single monitor such as a Barco across
2 different workstations.

Hello Jim,

this is an entirely hardware specific issue and a little off-topic here,
I think.

But nevertheless: I had an installation where two Workstations were
attached to a BARCO, but the KVM System had no sufficient signal quality
for a good display - way back some maybe ten years. I suggested to
purchase another (high-grade) KVM and heard no more complaints.

Maybe you may just consider the hardware specs - pixel clock and KVM
Bandwidth, reflection and attenuation - take the Lowest Common
Denominator of both Workstations and the monitor, and give it some room
by adding some 10-20% room for extra image quality ;o) - and you should
be fine.

A cheap off-the-supermarket-shelf KVM will most probably not do, that is
what I can tell you now already. You need high-resolution and
high-frequency components for sure.

Hope this helps,


Peter
