2-port 4K60 DisplayPort KVM switch - EDID Aux emulation

with USB 2.0 peripheral sharing, to access and control two DisplayPort computers from a single USB keyboard/mouse and one DisplayPort monitor 

SM-EDPN-2S DisplayPort KVM switch is capable of managing two DisplayPort computers through one DisplayPort monitor, one USB keyboard/mouse, and a set of speakers, while sharing USB devices like printers, memory devices, scanners, etc.

SM-EDPN-2S supports resolutions of up to 4K 3840x2160 @ 60Hz with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction, delivering crystal-clear visuals for your demanding tasks.

Not just limited to video, keyboard and mouse emulation, SM-EDPN-2S extends its connectivity to additional USB 2.0 devices, such as printers, scanners, and web cameras, providing a comprehensive solution for diverse needs.

The main function of this KVM switch is to centralize the access of two computer into a single, comprehensive KVM console.

Its USB 2.0 functionality support allows users at the console to access USB devices that would otherwise be unavailable. For example, it allows the use of a flash memory drive or camera without having to plug it directly into the remote computer.

SM-EDPN-2S is a perfect solution for the medical or industrial field where it may not be practical or safe to have on or more CPUs in the general vicinity.

Featuring flash upgradeable firmware, front panel keys for manual port selection, and hot-key commands for swift navigation, this KVM switch ensures user-friendly control.

EDID Aux Emulation
With EDID Aux (DisplayPort Auxiliary channel) video emulation, your window and monitor configurations remain intact when switching between computers, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow.

Unlike traditional DisplayPort KVM switches, SM-EDPN-2S is designed to overcome the inherent DisplayPort loss of emulated picture when switching from one connected computer to another (leading to a disorganized desktop video upon switching). SM-EDPN-2S's built-in EDID Aux emulation offers full EDID video emulation that ensures visual workspaces and screen resolutions are remembered every time you switch between computers.

SM-EDPN-2S's built-in EDID Aux emulation offers:
• Consistent screen resolutions: With EDID (Aux) Emulation, your screen resolutions stay static, providing a stable visual experience when switching between connected computers
• Persistent icon and window positions: Switch between connected computers without the chaos - icons and window positions remain undisturbed, ensuring a smooth transition between tasks

Flexible Control
Any external device or program supporting RS-232 can control SM-EDPN-2S. SM-EDPN-2S uses a very simple protocol, enabling easy integration with the RS-232 control devices.
A front-panel push-button along with keyboard hot-keys also allow the user to switch and control all the different functions of the KVM switch.

The USB emulation technology utilized by SM-EDPN-2S enables immediate hot key source switching through the connected USB keyboard and mouse. Additional USB peripherals can be attached, like a USB printer. RS-232 control and front panel switching are also supported.

Flexible Sharing
SM-EDPN-2S supports independent simultaneous device selection. It enables the use of a USB keyboard and mouse on one computer while other USB peripherals such as speakers, scanners and printers are connected to the other computer source. SM-EDPN-2S maintains the ability to switch all connected devices to any one of the computer sources as with any other KVM switch in the market.
