Dual DisplayPort KVM Switch

The StarTech.com SV231DPDDUA lets one keyboard, mouse and dual-monitor console control two DisplayPort computers. It supports native resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz on each display and can reach 3840 x 2400 at lower refresh rates. Audio and a USB 2.0 hub are integrated for speakers and peripherals.

Multi-system workstations vs.

Video editors, designers and post-production teams who switch between two workstations gain a single dual-monitor desk without re-plugging cables. Mac and PC compatibility covers mixed-OS environments. Users who need USB 3.0 or higher peripheral bandwidth should consider a different switch because the hub is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

2560 x 1600 dual-head resolution

The deciding specification is the maximum native resolution of 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz per monitor across both connected computers. If your workflow demands higher native refresh rates or 4K at 60 Hz on two screens, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What maximum resolution does the dual DisplayPort interface support at 60 Hz?

Each monitor can run at 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz, and the switch will also pass 3840 x 2400 at lower refresh rates.

What connectors must my console monitors and peripherals provide to fit this KVM?

The console side needs two DisplayPort inputs, two 3.5 mm audio jacks and four USB Type-A ports for keyboard, mouse and other devices.

How do I switch between the two connected computers, and what is the common mistake?

Press the front-panel push button to change the active PC; the common mistake is trying to switch with a keyboard hot-key, which this model does not support.
