8-Port KVM Switch Console with 4K HDMI LCD & USB 2.0

1.0 Introduction
The KVMC-UH-8-UHD is an 8-port HDMI KVM Switch Console in a 1U rack
drawer. The switch console features built-in LCD supporting Ultra-High
video resolutions such as 2560x1440, 2560x1600, and 3840x2160.
The switch provides keyboard and mouse emulation for all 8 PC inputs. It
does not matter if a PC is selected on the KVM Switch all the host PC's
“see” connection to a keyboard and a mouse. However, the data from the
“actual” built-in keyboard and mouse pad are only sent to the selected PC.
The KVM Switch also provides LCD emulation on all HDMI video inputs.
The HDMI outputs from all PCs get a HPD (hot plug detect) signal, as if
they were connected directly to an LCD. This reduces the video switching
times to 1~2 seconds. Since each PC always detects a monitor when
switching dual-video PCs, there is no interruption in the video since the
Operating System of the host PC is unaware of the KVM Switching.
The KVMC-UH-8-UHD also provides an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 Hub
with one port on the rear and one on the front. When you select a new PC
on the KVM, the USB 2.0 hub connects to the selected PC.
The console features 8 individual buttons for selecting inputs. LED
indicators show the currently selected input channel and the status of
each input. Inputs can also be selected via hot-key sequences from the
keyboard. The console provides self-locking rails and automatically locks
when the LCD panel is closed for simple and hassle free operation.
