What this KVM switch does

The Jansicotek SW245-1DP1HD is a 4×2 KVM switch that lets one keyboard, mouse and two monitors control four computers. It accepts HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs at up to 8K 60 Hz and provides USB 3.0 peripheral sharing. The unit is aimed at users who need to operate several systems from a single desk setup.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits professionals and enthusiasts running four PCs, laptops or consoles that output HDMI or DisplayPort and require dual-monitor extended or duplicate modes. Buyers whose sources only offer VGA, DVI or USB-C video, or who need to switch more than four computers, should look at a different switch.

Installation and common issues

The package supplies four USB 3.0 A-to-A cables, a 12 V power adapter, an IR cable, a remote control and a manual; connect each computer with one HDMI or DP cable plus one USB cable, then attach the monitors and peripherals. Switching is done via front-panel buttons, the desktop controller or the remote. A frequent issue is that extended desktop mode only works when the connected graphics cards themselves support duplicate and extend modes.

Questions about this item

What cables must I already own to connect four computers and two monitors to the SW245-1DP1HD?

Each computer needs one HDMI 2.1 cable, one DisplayPort 1.4 cable and one USB 3.0 A-to-A cable; each monitor needs one HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 cable.

Will my older 1080P 144 Hz and 4K 60 Hz monitors work with the 8K 60 Hz switch?

Yes, the switch supports adaptive resolution including 1080P at 144 Hz, 4K at 60 Hz and 8K at 60 Hz, so older displays run at their native rates.

How do I confirm the KVM is passing 8K 60 Hz video to both screens after setup?

Check each monitor’s on-screen information menu; it should report 8K at 60 Hz when a compatible source is selected and the LED for that port is lit.
