Opstel instruksies

Follow these steps to properly set up your KVM switch:

1. Skakel af: Turn off all computers and monitors, and unplug all cables.
2. Koppel rekenaars:
   • Connect the three HDMI 2.1 cables from Computer 1's video outputs to the 'PC1 HDMI IN' ports on the KVM switch.
   • Connect one USB 3.0 cable from a USB 3.0 port on Computer 1 to the 'PC1 USB IN' port on the KVM switch.
   • Repeat the above steps for Computer 2, connecting its HDMI and USB 3.0 cables to the 'PC2 HDMI IN' and 'PC2 USB IN' ports respectively.

   Belangrik: Each computer requires three video outputs. If a computer has only two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort (DP), you will need an 8K 60Hz DP to HDMI adapter for that DP port.

   • Connect your speakers or headphones to the 'Audio Out' port and your microphone to the 'Mic In' port if desired.
   • Connect the wired remote push button switch to its dedicated port on the rear panel.
5. Krag aan:
   • Plug the DC 5V 2A power adapter into the KVM switch and then into an AC power outlet.
   • Turn on the KVM switch using the I/O switch on the rear panel.
   • Skakel jou rekenaars aan.

   BIOS Startup Note: If one computer is BIOS-based, turn it on first, log in, and wait for the display. Then switch to the second computer and turn it on. If both computers are BIOS-based, start the KVM, then the first BIOS computer, log in, wait for the display, switch the KVM to the second computer, and finally, turn on the second BIOS computer. Avoid starting both BIOS computers simultaneously to prevent issues like a black screen or disabled keyboard/mouse.

Resolusie en herlaaitempo

This KVM switch supports a maximum 8K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate. For optimal performance, ensure your PC, monitors, and TV all support the desired resolution and refresh rate.

• Example 1: If your PC supports 8K 60Hz, but your monitor/TV supports only 4K 60Hz, you will get 4K 60Hz as a result.
• Example 2: If your PC supports 4K 60Hz, and your monitor/TV supports 8K 60Hz, you will get 4K 60Hz as a result.
• Example 3: If your PC and your monitor/TV both support 8K 60Hz, you will get 8K 60Hz as a result.

The switch is compatible with a wide range of resolutions, including:

• 10240x4320@60Hz
• 7680x4320@60Hz
• 5120x2880@50/60Hz
• 4096x2160@50/60/100/120Hz
• 3840x2160@60/120/144Hz
• ...and many others up to 240Hz for lower resolutions.

It is drive-free for Windows 10/7/2000/XP/Vista, Linux, Mac, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Raspbian, and other operating systems.

Probleemoplossing

• Geen skerm / Swart skerm:
  • Ensure all HDMI and USB cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and your computers/monitors.
  • Verify that the KVM switch is powered on.
  • Check the BIOS startup sequence as described in the Setup Instructions to avoid conflicts.
  • Confirm that your PC, monitors, and cables support the selected resolution and refresh rate.
• Sleutelbord/Muis Werk Nie:
  • Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated USB ports on the front panel.
  • Try reconnecting the USB cables.
  • If using hotkeys, ensure the 'Hot Key ON/OFF' switch is in the correct position.
• Monitor Drops/Flickers:
  • Switch between computers and then back to the desired computer.
  • Ensure all cables are high-quality HDMI 2.1 certified.
• Windows Size/Location Moving After Switching: This KVM switch does not feature EDID emulation. This behavior is expected as the KVM does not hold the EDID information of the monitors when switching, causing the operating system to re-detect displays.
