Does this KVM switch come with cables?

What USB devices can I connect to the USB 3.0 ports?

You can connect high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices such as webcams, flash drives, printers, external hard drives, and other peripherals that require faster data transfer rates.

Is HDCP 2.3 supported?

Yes, the KVM switch supports HDCP 2.3, which is crucial for displaying protected content like 4K Blu-rays or streaming services.

You can usually enable or disable the hotkey function and sometimes reset its behavior through the front panel buttons. Refer to the KVM switch's manual for the specific sequence to access and modify these settings.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Troubleshooting

No video output on one or both monitors

Verify that the HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the monitors. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitors. Check that the KVM is powered on and try switching between computers.

USB devices (keyboard/mouse) are not recognized or intermittent

Ensure USB cables are securely connected to the KVM switch's console USB ports and the computers' USB Type-B ports. Try plugging the devices into different USB ports on the KVM. If using DDM, ensure it's enabled and check for driver compatibility.

Cannot switch between computers using hotkeys

Ensure the hotkey function is enabled via the front panel buttons or RS-232 commands. Verify you are using the correct hotkey sequence and that the hotkey function is not disabled. Check the manual for the specific hotkey combination.

Video resolution is lower than expected (e.g., not 4K@60Hz)

Confirm that your monitors and graphics cards support 4K@60Hz. Ensure you are using HDMI 2.0 certified cables for all connections. Check the KVM's settings or modes to ensure 4K resolution is enabled.

Audio is not working

Verify that the 3.5mm audio cable is securely connected to the KVM's audio output port and your speakers or headphones. Ensure the correct audio output device is selected in your operating system's sound settings on both computers.
