4-Port DisplayPort KVM Switch with USB 2.0 and Front Panel Push Buttons
The Smart-AVI DPN-4PS is a 4-port DisplayPort KVM Switch with USB 2.0 and front panel push buttons. The DPN-4PS is a dedicated multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing four 4K computers through a single DisplayPort monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and other USB 2.0 devices. DisplayPort is one of the latest options in screen connectivity that delivers top quality high-definition video, and this device is DisplayPort 1.2 compliant with support for screen resolutions up to 4K HD to (3840x2160 @30Hz). HDMI and DVI video connections are supported with the proper video converters, and the device is backwards compatible with prior DisplayPort versions.
The USB emulation technology utilized by DPN-4PS enables immediate hot key source switching through the connected USB keyboard and mouse. Additional USB peripherals can be attached, like a USB printer. RS-232 control and front panel switching are supported.
Source switching made easy
The DPN-4PS provides a simplified management approach for four DisplayPort equipped computers USB 2.0 outputs for a keyboard, mouse and other USB peripheral devices. This dynamic KVM console can be controlled keyboard hot keys or RS-232 commands, as well as directly through the console’s easy-to-read front panel.
EDID Pass-Through
The DPN-4PS features EDID Pass-Through technology, which enables smooth and efficient switching, making the device easy to implement in virtually any scenario. This plug-and-play EDID functionality makes set up hassle free and simple.
Full USB keyboard and mouse emulation
The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by the DPN-4PS provides quick source switching via keyboard hot keys. The DPN-4PS simulates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through a USB cable. This is essential as it simulates the existence of the keyboard and mouse to all the computers in order to switch without interruptions.
Real-World Applications
The DPN-4PS has a broad range of applications, but the main function is to centralize the access of up to four computers that support DisplayPort displays in a single workstation. Not only does it function as a KVM console, but it also supports USB 2.0 functionality. This allows users to access nearly USB device, including those not supported by other KVM switches. The DPN-4PS is the ideal solution for medical, industrial, studio and defense applications, where it is not practical or safe to have multiple CPUs in the vicinity of the workstation.
