Controlling the HDN-4DUO
The HDN-4Quad is plug-and-play, easy to install into any AV setup and use right out of the box! Once set up, the HDN-4DUO is controlled with:
- Front Panel Push Buttons: The HDN-4 DUO comes equipped with clearly marked push buttons on its front-panel, putting KVM control literally within your reach
- USB Keyboard Hotkey Commands: Simple hotkey commands over PC that offer more robust control of the HDN-4DUO.
- RS-232: Use an external device with RS-232 capabilities to control the HDN-4 DUO- our easy device integration makes it a breeze to connect the KVM unit to RS-232 ready devices.
Display Data (EDID) Learning & Programming
Detection of DDC signals for all attached devices is effortless with HDN-4Duo due to its real EDID learning and programming. This is vital in optimizing the resolution of the selected graphics card to properly display on the remote monitor. Furthermore, the EDID learning feature continues to replicate the right DDC for the computer to enable the display card to effectively work when unused ports are not selected.
Full USB Keyboard & Mouse Emulation
The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by HDN-4Duo provides accurate and quick source switching by means of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions. HDN-4Duo imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through a USB cable. This is essential as it simulates the existence of the keyboard and mouse to all the computers while switching without interruptions.
