Full details

Its key benefit is enabling seamless switching between two computers with support for dynamic HDR and high resolutions up to 4K@60Hz. A caveat to be aware of is the total cable length limitation and the need for separate HDMI cables when connecting two sources to one monitor.

Troubleshooting

No display signal after switching

Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the monitor/computers. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Check that both USB A to B cables are connected to provide power to the KVM switch.

Keyboard or mouse not working

Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard/mouse to the KVM switch's USB ports. Try plugging them into different USB ports. Ensure the USB A to B cables are connected correctly to power the KVM switch. Check if the total current draw of connected USB devices exceeds 4A.

Poor video quality or flickering

Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables that support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Verify that the total cable length (computer to KVM switch, KVM switch to monitor) does not exceed recommended limits. Confirm that the source device is outputting the correct resolution.

Device not recognized by one computer

Try reconnecting the USB A to B cable for the affected computer. Restart both the computer and the KVM switch. Ensure the computer's USB ports are functioning correctly.
