Abstract
A multi-media KVM switch is for providing an output signal to drive a user-interface output device. The multi-media KVM switch comprises an embedded multi-media system, an arbiter and a multiplexer. The embedded multi-media system is enabled as receiving an enabling signal and providing a first device signal. The arbiter is for determining an operational state of at least a computer system in response to a second device signal outputted by the at least computer system. The arbiter provides the enabling signal to enable the embedded multi-media system when the at least a computer system is in a standby or an off state, and the arbiter is further for providing a selection signal. The multiplexer is for receiving the first and the second device signals, and outputting one of the first and the second device signals as the output signal to the user-interface output device.
