INTRODUCTION
This 2-Port USB and HDMI® KVM Switch allows you to use a single HDMI
monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, microphone, and headset/speakers
with two desktop or laptop computers. You can easily switch computers
using the built-in Port Selector, keyboard hotkeys, or with a simple
double-click of the mouse wheel. It supports HDMI video resolutions up
to 1900x1200 and is compatible with Windows®, Mac®, Linux®, UNIX®,
Novell® NetWare®, and DOS PCs. It features Video DynaSync™
technology, which eliminates boot-up display problems and optimizes
the video resolution when switching ports. The KVM and audio focus can
be separated, so one computer can have the KVM focus and the other
the audio focus. If one of the connected computers is powered off, the
switch will automatically select the other computer.
