CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The 4K60 HDMI Dual-Head KVM Switch - 4-Port is a dedicated multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing four dual-head 4K
computers through a single KVM. Built with ultra-HD ready HDMI outputs, the KVM Switch offers full 4K emulation at 60 Hz directly
from the device. Until now, HDMI switches lost emulated picture when disconnected from monitors, leading to confusion and
disorganization upon reconnecting. With the 4K60 HDMI Dual-Head KVM Switch, full EDID-assisted HDMI video emulation ensures
visual workspaces and screen resolutions are remembered.
The KVM Switch is HDCP compliant, supporting screen resolutions up to 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) with responsive EDID
emulation. Additionally, the KVM Switch is compatible with any USB peripheral.
The KVM Switch is also easy to control with both a simple front-panel interface, as well as RS-232 or hot-keys.
Source switching made easy: The KVM Switch offers simplified management between four dual-head HDMI equipped computers’ USB
2.0 outputs. Keyboards, mice, and other connected USB devices can be switched between with ease. This dynamic KVM switch can be
controlled via hot keys or RS-232 commands, as well as directly through the console’s easy-to-read front panel.
EDID passthrough and recognition: The KVM Switch features EDID passthrough technology and source recognition, which enable smooth
and efficient switching in virtually any scenario. This plug-and-play EDID functionality makes set up hassle-free and simple.
Full USB keyboard and mouse emulation: The USB keyboard and mouse emulation used by the KVM Switch provides quick source
switching via keyboard hotkeys. The KVM Switch simulates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer. This
essential function simulates keyboard and mouse control for all connected computers, so switching between each is kept seamless and
completely uninterrupted.
