DP1.2-MUX - The KVM switch for native 4K UltraHD resolution over DisplayPort™ 1.2
The KVM switch DP1.2-MUX is designed for working environments requiring native 4K UltraHD resolutions. Here the computer input and output side are switched with DisplayPort 1.2. The computers connected to the KVM switch are operated centrally at the workstation.
The workstation is equipped with a keyboard, mouse and a DisplayPort™ monitor. Switching between computers is done either via the buttons on the front of the KVM switch, via configurable key combinations on the keyboard or via a serial device connected to the service or RS232 interface.
Two USB 2.0 interfaces are available on the front of the KVM switch for operating any USB device. The connected USB devices are made available to the active computer. The KVM switch works with full keyboard and mouse emulation on each channel and guarantees error-free booting and operation of the connected computers at all times.
The KVM switch DP1.2-MUX-USB enables the operation of up to four computers from one workstation. The multichannel version allows you to connect up to four monitors per computer to the KVM switch.
