Introduction

Overview

4KSW41-KVM-Pro is a 4×1 HDMI KVM Switcher with Hotkey Switch. It supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compatibility and supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit. The four USB port KVM switcher allows users control four source devices/computers with only one set of USB devices (e.g., USB mouse, USB keyboard, USB flash and other USB2.0 compliant devices).

It also supports direct switching through buttons on the front panel, IR Remote switching, and hotkey switching through the keyboard connected to the special USB port. It provides a wide compatibility choice for different operating systems, such as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, no driver required, and simple plug-and-play.
