Using certified Premium HDMI cable to transfer high-resolution video is recommended.
Seamless switching is supported only when switching between Mode 1 ~ 4.
There is no constraint border when using mouse roaming function.
When input video resolution is 800 x 600, output picture will be with black border on the left and right side of the screen.
The sequence of the HDMI input should be matched along with the USB input (HDMI 1 corresponding with HDMI 1 source, etc.)
While setting up HKM41E, please use the keyboard to get full access of all functions.
When using DVR/NVRs as sources, must switch to Relative Mouse Position Mode, in this mode HKM41E doesn’t support mouse roaming.
When using PCs as sources , must switch to Absolute Mouse Position Mode in this mode HKM41E supports mouse roaming.
The mouse roaming could not work under Relative Mouse Position Mode, so using DVR/NVR as sources could not active mouse roaming, but it can still be controlled by using keyboard hot keys.
If HKM41E uses both PCs and NVR/DVRs as sources, the connected mouse/keyboard won’t operate normally due to the restrictions of Absolute/Relative Mouse Position Modes.
