OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION
The KV6222H 2-Port Dual-Monitor HDMI 2.0 USB 3.0 (5 Gbps data transfer rates), Audio KVM Switch is designed specifically for sharing two 4K monitors between two multimedia computers with dual-monitor HDMI displays. It is the perfect integration solution for dual monitor HDMI-enabled workstations.
With KV6222H, you can fully control two dual-monitor PCs using only one keyboard, mouse, and two 4K monitors; essential for saving valuable desktop space.
This dual-monitor HDMI 2.0 KVM switch supports two monitors at 3840 x 2160/4K 60 Hz resolution for maximum convenience in adapting to your display requirements.
True Transparent USB Emulation Technology allows complete versatility in dealing with the advanced functional requirements of today’s keyboards and mice. From gaming mice/keyboards to advanced business mice/keyboards, users will appreciate what this technology can do for them.

4. Connect each of your USB devices to the USB hub ports (on the left).
   You can now begin to use the KVM switch.

CHAPTER 4: OPERATION

OPERATION
A keyboard hotkey sequence consists of at least three specific keystrokes:
Hotkey sequence = [ScrLk] + [ScrLk] + Command key(s)

• User-definable = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK
  Hotkey preceding sequence configuration: For users who want to use a preceding sequence other than two consecutive Scroll Locks, there is also one convenient way to configure it.

  1. Press ScrollLock + ScrollLock + H, then two beeps will signal readiness for a new preceding sequence selection (or Press and hold down the last front-panel button [Button 2 or Button 4] until you  hear two beeps, then release the button.)
  2. Select and press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence (SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, or NUM LOCK keys are available for selection) and you’ll hear a beep for selection confirmation. Now you can use the new receding sequence to execute your hotkey commands.

NOTE: Press each keystroke within a hotkey sequence within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
NOTE: Hotkey sequence = [ScrLk] + [ScrLk] + Command key(s)

• User-definable Preceding sequence = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, or NUM LOCK
