SnapX is, at it’s heart, simply a port switcher that allows you to connect two DisplayPort-equipped Macs to a single Cinema Display. But, the glossy $70 adapter does have a couple of neat features, like USB go through for firing up the iSight camera and a clip for securing it to the bottom of the monitor. The SnapX is on the market for pre-order now and starts shipping to Apple devotees in September. Yet another pic and a few PR await after the break.
Connect two Mac computers to at least one Apple Cinema Display
Brea, CA – August 3, 2011 – Kanex, maker of audio-visual solutions for Apple computers, is worked up to unveil the brand new SnapX two port switcher designed specifically for twenty-four and 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Displays (ACD). The compact and USB powered SnapX allows users to simply toggle between two different Mac computers including iMac, Macbook Air, Mac mini, Macbook Pro, and new Mac models with Thunderbolt during the ACD.
The plug and play SnapX features two mini DisplayPorts and two USB ports. Simply plug in both Mac computers to the built-in 5ft mini DisplayPort and USB cables. Users then plug inside the ACD native display cables to the SnapX. Once linked, users may be able to utilize the iSight camera and direct the audio of the connected computers during the ACD speakers without altering the audio or video quality. The user friendly one button design allows users to effortlessly switch between both sources.
The SnapX features an ergonomic, sleek, clip-on design which goes snuggly at the bottom of the ACD stand. Additionally, the SnapX organizes all wires neatly behind the display providing a clutter-free environment. This also reduces stress at the connectors preventing intermittent signal loss by means of loose cable connections.
The SnapX is on the market now for pre-order and should begins shipping in September for $69 at KanexLive.com/SnapX.
