CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2. OV ERVIE W
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The KV6224DPH 4-Port Dual-Monitor HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort 1.2 USB 3.0 (5 Gbps data transfer rates), Audio KVM Switch is designed
specifically for sharing two 4K monitors between four multimedia computers with dual-monitor HDMI/DP display. It is the perfect
solution for computers using mixed DisplayPort/HDMI graphics cards.
With KV6224DPH, you can fully control four dual-monitor PCs using only one keyboard, mouse and two 4K monitors; essential for saving
valuable desktop space.
This dual-monitor HDMI/DisplayPort KVM switch supports two monitors at 3840 x 2160/4K 60 Hz resolution for maximum convenience
in adapting to your display requirements.
True Transparent USB Emulation Technology allows complete versatility in dealing with the advanced functional requirements of today’s
keyboards and mice. From gaming mice/keyboards to advanced business mice/keyboards, users will appreciate what this technology
can do for them.
Share all your USB peripheral devices with ease using the separate built-in 2-port USB 3.0 hub (5Gbps data transfer rates) between each
connected computer. The USB hub automatically switches the connected USB peripheral to the selected computer saving you the cost
of adding additional peripherals.
Independent audio switching lets users freeze audio while simultaneously working on a different system. With 3.5 mm stereo audio input
for each channel, two-way audio support for speakers and microphone is available; perfect for sound design or editing applications.
