Designed for use in secure defense and intelligence applications, this SDHN-2S-P 2-Port Single-Head 4K DP-to-HDMI KVM Switch with CAC Port from IPGard features mechanical, electrical, and optical signal isolation to prevent hacking and data leakage. It controls data relays using inverted signals, shielding connections from outside intrusion by forcing them to work one at a time. Each port uses its own isolated data channel and each unit features a non-reprogrammable ROM to protect the switch's functions.

The switch emulates the presence of a keyboard and a mouse for every attached computer through a USB cable, preventing direct connection between the peripherals and the connected computer. It allows users to assign specific peripheral devices to the CAC port. Once a peripheral device has been registered by an authenticated admin, users can then switch the connection between that device and the PC's along with KM switching.

The switch simulates a generic EDID as default, allowing it to operate most of the connected monitors. Both selected and non-selected computers maintain a constant connection with the unit's video emulation controllers, restricting discovery of newly connected monitors during switching operations. Upon activating the KVM, the unit will quickly and automatically learn new EDID for specific monitors. The unit then prevents unwanted and unsecure data from getting transmitted through DDC lines by means of secure EDID learning and emulation.

Q: 1. I wonder if this device will work normally when I connect my PTZOptics 30X-SDI Gen 2 Live Streaming Broadcast Camera (1080p/60fps) via a converter AJA U-TAP USB 3.0 (3.2 Gen 1) Powered SDI Capture Device?

A: The IOGEAR True 4K 3-Port HDMI Switch (B&H# IOGHSW8431) will switch between three HDMI inputs to put out a single HDMI output. It supports up to True DCI 4K resolution 4096 x 2160p60 and 18Gbps. If you have a source (such as a camera) putting out 1080p by HDMI then this can allow you to select between that an another HDMI source to put out your choice between the two (or up to three) to a single HDMI output.

Q: 2. Does this unit support eARC for all inputs and output?

A: The IOGEAR 4KX2K 4-Port HDMI Switch supports Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), however there is no mention of eARC support.

Q: 3. Can you connect this switcher to itself with the RS232 control cable and control multiple units at once?

A: The RS-232 connection on this unit is available so it can be be paired with a high-end control system, such as products made by Crestron and Extron. You should be able to connect multiple of these units to such a control system, however you will want to consult with an AV Engineer about creating such an advanced system.

Q: 4. what is the cable lengths?

A: The cable length of this is 4'(feet).

Q: 5. What other Hz is supported by the device at lower resolutions? For example, 4096x2160 @60Hz is what is says but what about at 2560x1440 and lower?

A: The manufacturer only specifies 4096 x 2160 @60 Hz (4K DCI).

Q: 6. Are powered switches like this more reliable than passive switches?

A: The IOGEAR 3-Port True DCI/UHD 4K HDMI Switch will be very reliable. But if you compare it with a button-based HDMI switch, like the model below from Kramer, it would be a more reliable, better-quality switch. Kramer SWT3-41-H 4x1 4K60 HDMI Switcher BH #KRSWT341H

Q: 7. Does this also support two monitors?

A: The IOGEAR 2-Port DisplayPort KVM Switch does not support two monitors as it only has one DisplayPort output.

Q: 8. How quickly does this device switch from one input to another?

A: The IOGEAR True 4K 3-Port HDMI Switch (BH #IOGHSW8431) could take anywhere from a few milliseconds to a few seconds to switch inputs, depending on the type of input and output, as well as the speeds of the cabling.

Q: 9. What is the timed delay in switching?

A: When switching between inputs you will experience a few second delay, this would be common for most AV Switchers like this. If you have more specific needs or questions please email us directly at provideo@a href= http://bhphoto.com target= _blank bhphoto.com/a and we can assist you further.

Q: 10. Will this work with a Dish Network or Direct TV receiver?

A: Yes it will. This unit is HDCP compliant and designed to work with home entertainment products like DVRs, Video Game Systems, Blu/DVD players and Satellite/Cable receivers.
