Introduction
OVERVIEW
The KVM-HDU-4 is a compact 4 port HDMI KVM Switch that features high speed
video switching with HDMI Sink emulation technology, integrated 2-port USB
hub, and Keyboard & mouse emulation for each PC input.
The switch supports ultrahigh resolution video including: 2560 x 1440, 2560 x
1600, and 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz.
Connected PCs do not experience any interruption to the video, keyboard, and
mouse operation as a result of switching among the 4 inputs. All connected PCs
continuously detect a keyboard, mouse and display regardless of the currently
selected port.
The KVM-HDU-4 provides an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 Hub. This hub gets
connected to the selected PC as the user switches among the 4 inputs. Users
can connect other USB devices such as webcams, touch screens or printers to
the KVM Switch. Devices plugged into the USB hub ports on the KVM Switch are
only routed to the selected PC. When you select a new PC, those USB devices
disconnect from the last PC and connect to the newly selected PC.
The front panel features 4 individual buttons for selecting inputs. LED
indicators show the currently selected input port and the status of each
input. Inputs can also be selected via hot-key sequences from the keyboard.
A power supply connection is not required. The KVM draws its operating power
from the PC USB connections. However, a 5v power input connector is provided
on the unit for special cases where power-hungry USB devices are used and/or
the PCs do not meet the USB power sourcing specifications.
FEATURES
- Supports high resolution video such as1920x1080, 2560×1440, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160.
- 4 Individual buttons on the front panel for selecting inputs.
- Full plug-and-play support with USB keyboard, mouse, and connected peripherals.
- Emulates keyboard, mouse and display for all PCs.
- Smart EDID Management.
- Provides USB 2.0 Hub that switches to the selected PC.
- Computer OS independent – No driver or software required.
- No power supply required for most applications.
Setup and Operation
The figure below shows the rear panel connections on the KVM Switch.
Cables are not included. For each input you must provide one HDMI and one USB
cable. For the vast majority of KVM switching applications, the KVM-HDU-4 does
not require any power supply since it draws power from the USB connections
from the host PCs.
If the KVM-HDU-4 is used for switching video only with no USB inputs, then a
power supply needs to be connected. This separately sold power supply is part
number 511-U5V2AP5.
