A KVM switch or Barco CTRL? Let's help you out!

KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switches used to be the most important solutions to reduce the clutter of control room operator workspaces. With one keyboard and mouse, operators can control multiple sources, coming from multiple networks. However, there were still a lot of flaws to this system - which made working with it highly unintuitive.

That is why we created Barco CTRL, an all-in-one KVM over IP solutioin for control rooms. But the product is so much more than a traditional KVM switch. We have created the table underneath to highlight these differences.
