Four-port DisplayPort KVM switch

The STARTECH P4AD122KVMSWITCH connects four computers to one DisplayPort monitor, keyboard, mouse and six USB peripherals. It supports video resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz with HDR and uses DisplayPort 1.2 signalling. A rugged metal enclosure provides EMI shielding and 8 kV air / 6 kV contact ESD protection. Switching is done by front-panel push buttons or configurable hotkeys with independent audio and video control.

Suited for multi-system workstations needing

Creative professionals running CAD, video editing or content-creation workflows across several hosts will benefit from the single-monitor layout and high-speed USB 5 Gbps ports. Buyers who require simultaneous multi-monitor output or need to switch more than four computers should consider a different solution. The unit is OS-independent, working with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux without driver installation.

Handles four hosts and six USB devices

Two USB 5 Gbps ports accommodate fast storage or docking stations while four USB 2.0 ports handle keyboards, mice and other low-bandwidth accessories. Stereo audio switching lets sound follow a different host than the video. The switch saturates at four DisplayPort 1.2 inputs and one 4K 60 Hz output; higher refresh rates, 8K resolution or additional video heads are beyond its capability.

Questions about this item

Do my computers need USB-A and DisplayPort 1.2 outputs to connect to this KVM?

Yes, each host must provide a USB-A port for keyboard, mouse and peripheral data plus a DisplayPort 1.2 video output to drive the shared 4K 60Hz monitor.

Can I keep using my existing USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse with the four dedicated USB 2.0 ports on this switch?

The four USB 2.0 ports are designed for standard low-speed peripherals such as keyboards and mice, so your current USB 2.0 input devices will work without any adapter.

How do I confirm the KVM is actively passing 4K 60Hz video and USB 5Gbps data after I set it up?

The front-panel LEDs show the selected host, the audible buzzer sounds on every hotkey press, and the OS device manager will list the two USB 5Gbps ports at their full speed when a high-speed device is attached.
