Essential specifications at a glance

Switch systems without duplicating your desk setup

Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console, then access any of eight connected computers. This helps keep a multi-system workspace organised and reduces the need to move between separate desks.

Choose a computer using the front-panel push-buttons, hotkeys or the on-screen display. LED indicators help show the selected port. An auto-scan function can cycle between systems, with an interval of up to 255 seconds.

View detailed content at 4K and 60Hz

The HDMI output supports up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz. This gives you a high-resolution view when working with detailed images, video or other visual material.

The switch includes Video DynaSync and EDID Expert technologies. These help optimise display resolution and support smooth switching between ports.

Share USB accessories and audio

A built-in USB hub provides two USB-A ports for sharing peripherals between connected computers. The hub supports data transfer rates up to 5Gbps, helping you connect compatible USB devices at the console.

The unit also supports headphone and microphone connections through 3.5mm audio ports. Two-level password authorisation adds access control for users managing connected computers.
