SmartAVI 16-Port DVI-D KVM DVN-16PROS ($1168.05) Review

The SmartAVI DVN-16PROS is a 16-computer DVI-D KVM switch, the highest-capacity fixed-port model in SmartAVI's DVN family, priced at $1168.05.

This is the specific 16-port SKU from the general SmartAVI DVN/DPN series listed elsewhere in this catalog, purpose-built for server rooms or labs that need to consolidate a large bank of DVI machines onto a single console without stepping up to a full matrix system. At 16 ports it's double the capacity of the NTI UNIMUX-DVI-8HD, making it the go-to choice once an 8-port switch genuinely isn't enough.

Sixteen Computers, One Console

Built to handle a genuinely large DVI-D server bank, letting one keyboard, monitor and mouse manage 16 machines through simple button, hotkey or software switching.

The High-Capacity End of the DVN Family

This is the top fixed-port model in SmartAVI's DVN platform, sitting well above the smaller DVN-8PS8X1 for installations that have genuinely outgrown 8 ports.

Comparison to Alternatives

Versus the SmartAVI DVN-8PS8X1 — that's the 8-port model on the same platform, worth it for smaller installations. Versus the NTI UNIMUX-DVI-8HD — that's an 8-computer competitor product, worth it only if 16 ports is more capacity than needed.
