Dual DisplayPort KVM for two computers
The StarTech.com SV231DPDDUA lets one keyboard, mouse, dual monitors, speakers and microphone control two USB-enabled PCs or Macs. Each system connects through a USB-B link, two DisplayPort cables and 3.5 mm audio jacks. Front-panel buttons and hot-key sequences switch the active host instantly.
Suits dual-head creative and trading desks
Designers, video editors, medical-imaging staff and stock traders who need two 2560 x 1600 displays shared between a pair of workstations will benefit. The four-port USB 2.0 hub adds peripheral sharing without extra hardware. Buyers who require more than two computer ports, higher resolutions, or DisplayPort 1.2 and above should consider a different switch.
Maximum video resolution is 2560 x 1600
Both console DisplayPort outputs are limited to this resolution, so any monitor exceeding it will not show its native pixel count. The 18 W external adapter powers the unit and the USB hub from a 100-240 V AC source.

Questions about this item
This KVM is a single model — what does the 2560 x 1600 resolution spec mean for my dual-monitor setup?
Each DisplayPort output supports up to 2560 x 1600, so both connected monitors can run at that resolution simultaneously when switching between the two computers.
How does the USB 2.0 hub perform when I switch between two PCs?
The four USB 2.0 Type-A ports on the console side stay connected to the active PC only; switching via push buttons or hot keys moves keyboard, mouse and any other USB 2.0 devices instantly.
What DisplayPort version is used, and what bandwidth limit does that impose?
The unit provides four DisplayPort 20-pin female connectors on the PC side and two on the console side, carrying video up to 2560 x 1600 without specifying a DisplayPort version number.
