Manufacturer description

The Unitek KVM switch connects two desktop computers to two monitors over both HDMI and DisplayPort, so you can run a dual-screen setup from either machine without unplugging cables. Video passes through at up to 4K 60Hz with HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2/1.4, HDR and 3D support, which keeps text sharp and color accurate on both panels. Four USB-A ports carry your keyboard, mouse, printer and external drives across at USB 3.0 speeds up to 5Gbps, roughly ten times the 480Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0, so shuttling large files between hosts stays quick. Switching happens two ways: a button on the unit itself…
