Audio & Mic Cable KVM Switch! With our highly reliable and

INTRODUCTION
To ensure ultimate video compatibility requirements on recent
operating systems, the LDV-342ARC 2-Port HDMI USB Audio &
Mic Cable KVM
Switch,
features advanced Active Sync
Replication (A.S.R.) technology which supports all-time full DDC
emulation so that the video compatibility will be as constant and
stable as it should be. This all-time full DDC emulation can get rid
of those problems that are related to the absence of appropriate
DDC data on the KVM switch when port switching is taken place.

running Windows/Mac operating systems, a KVM Switching
Software will facilitate your KVM switching operations such as
computer selection, hotkey sequence programming, autoscanning, auto-scan delay time programming, and
independent/simultaneous audio switching, etc.

technology for Plug-and-Play. In addition to connect to mouse and
keyboard, these two USB 2.0 ports can also be connected to other

convenience with its compact and one-piece design.
