Manage two computers from a single workstation and incorporate external USB devices with the Smart-AVI DPN-2P, a rack-mountable 2-port DisplayPort KVM switch. With multi-platform OS compatibility and full USB keyboard and mouse emulation, the DPN-2P provides consistent and reliable operation with a variety of computer systems. Plus, it enables quick channel switching via hotkeys.

The DPN-2P offers 4K DisplayPort connections as well as microphone audio support and a 2-port USB 2.0 hub that's separate from the USB 1.1 keyboard and mouse ports. This hub allows you to plug in and access USB devices such as a camera or flash storage without connecting them directly to the computers.

The DPN-2P is a dedicated multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing two different computers with a DisplayPort monitor and one keyboard and mouse. The USB emulation technology utilized by the DPN-2P enables immediate hotkey source switching through a remote USB keyboard and mouse. It uses DisplayPort connectors providing high resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz) with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction.

This KVM switch provides a simplified management approach for up to two computers with DisplayPort, microphone, and USB 2.0 outputs. The DPN-2P console can be controlled remotely from easily accessible keyboard hotkeys as well as directly through the console's easy-to-read front panel.

The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by the DPN-2P offers accurate and quick source switching by means of keyboard hotkeys. The DPN-2P imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through a USB cable. This is essential to switch without interruptions as it avoids computers freezing or going into sleep mode when they don't detect a keyboard or mouse connection.

The main function of the DPN-2P is to centralize access for two DisplayPort-equipped computers at a single workstation. Not only does it perform as a KVM console, but it also supports USB 2.0 functionality. This allows users at the console to access USB devices that would otherwise be unavailable when using conventional KVM switches. For example, a flash drive and camera can be incorporated without having to plug them directly into the remote computer. The DPN-2P is the ideal solution for medical, industrial, studio, and defense applications where it is not practical or safe to have multiple CPUs in the vicinity of the workstation.
