Sometimes, a case exists for using multiple computers from a single desk. Sure, buying several sets of keyboards and mice is always easier. Still, it's smarter to use a specially designed unit, a KVM switch like the one we have here, the INRIKS SW4041KVM.
Continue reading →INRIKS SW4041KVM is an HDMI KVM signal switcher. It supports up to 4 HDMI input signals and 1 HDMI output signal with a maximum resolution of up to 4Kx2K@60Hz.
In addition to the HDMI signal, the switcher supports KVM control. So you can connect up to four PCs or DVRs to the input and control them alternately using a single monitor/keyboard/mouse.
The user can switch between video and KVM sources in several ways: front panel switch button, IR remote, or RS-232. The RS-232 port allows the switch to be integrated into any control system to automate processes.
The SW4041KVM switch has four HDMI+USB inputs for connecting input devices (PC, DVR, etc.), one HDMI output for connecting a monitor, and four USB 2.0 ports for connecting a keyboard, mouse, or similar devices.
The switcher is easy to install; all external devices are plug-and-play connected.
The kit includes removable mounts to safely fix the switcher to any surface.
The SW4041KVM switch has a ground connection socket, which is helpful for server room installations.
