Product Information

Full details

This StarTech.com SV231DPDDUA KVM switch is designed for users who need to control two computers, each with dual DisplayPort outputs, from a single console. Its key benefit is enabling seamless switching between high-resolution, dual-monitor setups without sacrificing visual fidelity, while also offering integrated USB 2.0 hub functionality and HD audio support. A potential caveat is that advanced resolutions like 3840x2400 are supported at reduced refresh rates, which might not suit all real-time applications.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on console monitors

Verify that all DisplayPort cables are securely connected to both the computers and the KVM switch, as well as the monitors. Ensure the KVM switch is powered on. Try switching to the other computer to isolate the issue.

USB devices not functioning or recognized

Ensure the USB cables connecting the computers to the KVM's console USB ports are secure. Try plugging the USB device directly into the KVM's hub ports. Reboot the connected computers.

Audio or microphone not working

Check that the audio and microphone cables are properly connected to the KVM's console jacks and the computer's audio output/input. Verify audio settings within the operating system of the selected computer.

KVM is unresponsive to hot keys

Ensure the keyboard is connected to the designated console USB port. Try a different keyboard. Consult the manual for the correct hot-key sequence and check if hot-key functionality is enabled.

Screen resolution issues or flickering

Confirm that the connected monitors support the selected resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the DisplayPort cables are of sufficient quality (e.g., certified for the desired bandwidth). Update graphics drivers on the connected computers.
