1 Purpose and Functions
The high-end 2x1 HDMI KVM switch (model ACTii AC7695) is an advanced device enabling seamless integration and control of two computers or recorders using a single set of peripherals: an HDMI monitor, keyboard, and USB mouse. Thanks to a bandwidth of 18 Gbps, the device is perfect for environments requiring the highest 4K image quality at 60Hz with full support for HDR 10 and Dolby Vision.
The switch is equipped with intelligent EDID emulators on each input port, ensuring that connected computers always receive correct display parameter information, preventing resolution reset issues when switching sources. An additional USB 2.0 Hub port allows for sharing devices such as printers, scanners, or external drives, and a dedicated L/R audio output enables routing the audio signal to an external sound system.
