The Omniview does this. When you power it up, it will automatically
select the first source it finds.
What I miss is the footpedal that my other KVM has (since I put
the KVM "out of the way") It *should* be simple to get a box to do all of
the above.
It's disappointing and annoying that it *isn't*! :-(
I was surprised it
took Belkin so long to get a KVM for home use that
switched audio (perfect for retro gamers with multiple generations of
machines).
My Black Box 12 port ADB KVM must have been made for a server room since it
has jumpers for each video output so machines can boot and sense a
"monitor" even when you are using another port on the KVM. from the keyboard (bounce and release the CTRL key,
then press a number)
I'm not sure why a footswitch is needed. Well, let's
say that I've never
needed one. Why did you? Just curious.
