Auto Detect Mode

The KVM switch can automatically detect and switch to an active input source. When a new PC is turned on, the display will automatically switch to that PC's screen without manual intervention.

Image: Before PC6 is turned on, the display shows the current active device. After PC6 is turned on, the display automatically switches to PC6 without manual operation.

Hot Plug Functionality

Devices connected to the KVM switch can be added or removed without needing to power off the KVM switch or the connected PCs. This feature allows for flexible system management.

Accidental Input Prevention

The KVM switch includes a feature to lock the screen, audio, and controls with a single button. Pressing the [0/Close] button on the front panel turns off the HDMI display to reduce power consumption. Pressing it again turns the HDMI display back on. When locked, hotkeys and remote controls are also disabled.

6. EDID Emulation

The KVM switch incorporates EDID emulators in each input port. This feature ensures that connected PCs always receive correct display information, preventing display settings from changing or windows from rearranging when switching between input ports. This maintains a consistent desktop layout and prevents screen flicker.
