Introduction
The SV431DPUA Startech 4 Ports USB Displayport KVM Switch is a device that allows users to control multiple computers using a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. This is useful for users who have multiple computers but don’t want to clutter their workspace with multiple sets of peripherals. In this article, we will explain in detail what the SV431DPUA Startech 4 Ports USB Displayport KVM Switch is, how it works, and its features.
Definition of KVM Switch
A KVM switch (Keyboard, Video, Mouse switch) is a device that allows users to control multiple computers using a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. With a KVM switch, users can switch between computers by pressing a button or using a keyboard shortcut. This eliminates the need to have multiple sets of peripherals for each computer, which can save space and reduce clutter on the user’s workspace.
Working Process of 4 Ports USB Displayport KVM Switch
The SV431DPUA Startech 4 Ports USB Displayport KVM Switch works by connecting multiple computers to the KVM switch using USB and DisplayPort cables. The switch then connects to a single monitor using a DisplayPort cable. Users can then switch between computers by pressing a button on the KVM switch or by using a keyboard shortcut.
The SV431DPUA Startech 4 Ports USB Displayport KVM Switch also has a built-in USB hub that allows users to connect USB peripherals, such as a keyboard and mouse, to the switch. This eliminates the need to have separate USB hubs for each computer.
