Which device allows MSOs to control either the Minotaur processor or their SBU/SIPR laptop?

• A. KVM Switch
• B. Dual Controller
• C. Remote Console
• D. Mouse/Keyboard Hub

Answer: (A)

The main idea is controlling multiple systems from one console. A KVM switch does exactly that by routing a single keyboard, video display, and mouse to one of several connected computers. In this scenario, it lets the MSO switch control either the Minotaur processor or the SBU/SIPR laptop from the same keyboard and monitor, simply by pressing a button or using a hotkey. This setup keeps peripherals centralized, reduces clutter, and makes switching between the two devices quick and straightforward without reconnecting equipment.

The other options don’t fit as well. A remote console would enable access over a network rather than locally sharing a single physical console. A mouse/keyboard hub merely expands input devices without switching the video feed to the correct device. A dual controller is not a standard term for this function and wouldn’t reliably provide the necessary one-at-a-time control over multiple machines.
