INTRODUCTION 

The DPN-4 Duo is a dedicated multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing up to 4 different com-
puters through two DisplayPort monitors, one USB keyboard & mouse. 
 
The USB emulation technology utilized by the DPN-4 Duo enables immediate hotkey source switching 
through a remote USB keyboard and mouse. The DPN-4 Duo uses DisplayPort connectors providing high 
resolutions of up to 4K (3840x2160 @ 30Hz) with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction. Whenever 
a monitor is connected the EDID for that monitor is learned. There is no EDID emulation. 
 
SOURCE SWITCHING MADE EASY  
The DPN-4 Duo provides a simplified management approach for up to 4 computers with DisplayPort, ste-
reo audio, and USB 2.0 outputs. This dynamic KVM console can be controlled remotely from easily acces-
sible keyboard hotkeys or RS-232 commands, as well as directly through the console’s easy to read front 
panel.  
 
FULL USB KEYBOARD AND MOUSE EMULATION  
The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by the DPN-4 Duo provides accurate and quick source 
switching by means of keyboard hotkeys. The DPN-4 Duo imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse 
for every attached computer through a USB cable. This is essential as it simulates the existence of the 
keyboard and mouse to all the computers while switching without interruptions.

APPLICATIONS 

The DPN-4 Duo has a broad range of applications, but the main function of this KVM switch is to central-
ize the access of several computers into one comprehensive PC. Not only does it function as a KVM con-
sole, it also supports USB 2.0 functionality. This allows a user at the console to use USB devices that 
would otherwise be unavailable with conventional KVM devices. For example, it allows a user to use a 
flash memory drive or camera without having to plug it directly into the remote computer. The DPN-4 Duo 
is a perfect solution for the medical or industrial field, where it may not be practical or safe to have one or 
more computers in the general vicinity.
