He can use it on both, he just has to register his computers to ableton. When he verifies his account, he will see the link to register his computers

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

Hi Safa, I have used the same device for about six weeks. The device will allow you to switch between inputs but not see two at once. Take care, John

I've seen it work using 4 monitors. Their data sheets say it will work with up to 6 monitors. There may be some restrictions depending on your systems graphics capability. I use it in a 3 monitor environment. Two 21" monitors on connected to the PC the other to the USB graphics and a 3rd 24" monitor plugged into my computer. I would think newer computers wouldn't have a problem with it but always the caveat that not all computer systems are equal. I've read enough that if you are using a laptop to drive this you won't get more than 4 monitors in most cases and that includes the one on the laptop. Hope this helps.

Yes, I also use a USB Switch to cycle one keyboard and mouse between computers.

Yes, I manage two (although from a laptop). I'm sure there must be a maximum number, but can certainly do several. You give each an identifying name to keep them apart.

Yes, there is a source button under the display next to the power button that switches between input sources. I have my desktop and laptop attached and switch between them. The only limitation I have found is you can only have one PC hooked up to the USB to the display for touch support, so only one pc can utilize the touch capabilities. No worries for me since I do not use touch on my laptop.

Yes you can. We have two iXLs in our home and the software is already on our home PC and 2 laptops for when we are mobile and want to change things up to keep my toddlers busy.

I use an external keyboard and one monitor with mine. I am not sure about the second monitor. Sorry.

The model I bought (2 port) lets you use 1 mouse and 1 keyboard to share two computers. The mouse and keyboard can produce output to a monitor that is switched back and forth as well as audio output from two machines to a common amplifier.

NO, only one user can use it on 3 different PC's, 3 LAP TOPs, 3 TABLETS or 1 of each, You may use it on any other 3 items, where Anti-Virus protection is required, but ONLY ONE user.

Don't totally remember but, I think you get code to activate it and I am not sure if you can put it on more than one computer. Sorry not really a help.

If your keyboard and mouse are controlled via one USB (like wireless mouse & keyboard combination), and those are the only things you need... then you will not need anything else. This has one USB female port, which can be connected to two different computers (one at a time). But if you have more peripherals, then you can buy and USB hub which expands the number of USB ports ( so you switch many things like printer, keyboard/mouse, USB speakers, etc -- watch out of power consumption though). I have returned this product, though because of some other reason... take a look at my review.

Yes. The way I have it set up is I have two monitors for my desktop, one for my work laptop. I only have the VGA connectors hooked up, and can switch one of the monitors between the desktop and laptop. For keyboard and mouse, they are connected directly to my desktop. I use synergy on the desktop and laptop so the laptop shares the keyboard/mouse with the desktop. That way I can always access both computers with the keyboard/mouse regardless of which one is using the extra real estate on the second monitor.

Form what I understand (and I do NOT know computers) there is a switch you need to buy so that you can do so. I had the same question for my IT friend, and that was his answer to me. Good luxk

I have no idea why he has to use 2 mice, I only use one mouse and keyboard for both. (I'm wondering if he has it hooked up wrong, because it's not intuitive and you need to follow the insructions.) I'm not even hooking up the monitor at the moment, so each computer is still using its own.
