NTI UNIMUX-DVI-8HD (8-Port DVI KVM Switch / $887.36) Review

The NTI UNIMUX-DVI-8HD is an 8-computer DVI KVM switch with rack-mount options and RS232 remote control, priced at $887.36.

NTI's UNIMUX line has been a rack-room staple for a long time, and this 8-port DVI model competes directly with the Adder AV8PRO-DVI in this catalog at a noticeably lower price, without Adder's multi-head or cascade branding but with the same core job of putting 8 servers on one console. It skips audio entirely, keeping the focus squarely on server-room video and USB switching rather than desktop multimedia.

Server-Room Focused 8-Port Switching

Built for a rack of 8 DVI-connected servers rather than a multimedia desk, with RS232 support for remote automation in a data center.

No Audio, By Design

Like most server-room KVMs, the UNIMUX-DVI-8HD skips audio switching, keeping the design and cost focused on video and USB peripheral switching.

Comparison to Alternatives

Versus the Adder AV8PRO-DVI — that includes audio support and RS232 control at a higher price, worth it for control-room rather than pure server-room use. Versus the SmartAVI DVN-8PS8X1 — that's an 8x1 model on SmartAVI's DVN platform, worth comparing on price and exact feature set.
