The AdderView 4 PRO DisplayPort Switchfrom AdderView 4 PRO DisplayPort Switchenables users to control four DisplayPort-enabled computers from a single KVM console. This switch is DisplayPort 1.1 compliant and supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1920, as well as share USB peripherals between multiple sources, helping to provide increased flexibility for those who need to share high-res screens and USB devices. Using Adder's True Emulation technology, low- and full-speed USB HID devices can be continuously emulated to each other, supporting not only hotkey switching, but also the extra keys and features of enhanced keyboards and mice. Also supported are two independently switchable low-, full-, and high-speed USB 2.0 channels as well an audio channel, all of which provide users with the flexibility to attach a wide variety of peripherals to different computers.

The ADDERView 4 PRO is compatible with virtually all operating systems, including Windows, Mac, DOS, Linux, UNIX, BSD, Sun OS, NetWare, and more. It is well-suited for use in broadcast, medical, architecture, graphic design, post-production, and animation industries. Included is a 12.5W power adapter that operates using 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, a power cord, and four self-adhesive rubber feet.

The AV4PRO-DP is DisplayPort 1.1 compliant (4 lanes at 2.7 Gb/s). DisplayPort can support high end monitors featuring a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 10-bits per color, a 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Full HD monitors at a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 60 Hz refresh rate at 12-bits per color without latency, all over standard cables.

The AV4PRO-DP features Adder's USB True Emulation technology. Emulated USB provides an instantaneous and reliable switching action and makes keyboard-hotkey and mouse switching possible. It also allows the use of extra function keys, wheels, buttons, and controls that are commonly found on modern keyboards and mice. Users in architecture, graphic design, post-production, animation, and more often need to use specialized interface devices, such as graphics tablets, 3D explorers, joysticks, and so on. The AV4PRO-DP helps make all this possible.

Flexibility is key, and this switch enables you to use the KVMA console to work on one computer whilst your USB peripherals are connected to other computers and your speakers are playing music from yet another. You can, of course, still switch all connected devices to any one of the connected computers, as with any other KVM switch.

The AV4PRO-DP can be switched using selectable keyboard hotkeys, 3-button mice, or the front-panel controls. Optionally, you can also use the RC4 remote switch to make your selection. These switching options allow you to reassign connected devices to any of the connected computers.

A vast range of USB devices can be connected to the AV4PRO-DP. From non-standard human interface devices to printers and scanners, this gives great flexibility. For example, you could be scanning a set of documents onto one computer while working on another and printing from yet another, all at the same time. The USB 2.0 switching action has been carefully engineered to help ensure maximum computer reliability when connecting and disconnecting USB devices.

An 'Options' port enables the AV4PRO-DP to be remotely switched using a 4-button switch unit (RC4). By linking 'Options' ports, two or more units can be switched in synchrony to create a multi-video head switching system. The same port can also be used to upgrade the firmware.

A: Assuming using DP 1.2 144Hz 2K monitor(s) theoretically it should (untested) as it does support DisplayPort 1.2.

Q: 4. Do these have Hot keys that work with mac?

A: Yes it has hotkeys that work with Mac.

Q: 5. How long are the cables that come with it? It does not say that anywhere in the description.

A: The manufacturer does not specify the length of the cables, only the types.

Q: 6. Will this work with the Apple 27 display that uses the mini DisplayPort

A: The Adder ADDERView 4 PRO DisplayPort Video & Peripheral Switch B&H # ADAV4PRODPUS is supported as long as its the Cinema Display with Mini Displayport, it will not work with the Thunderbolt display. In order to use it, you will need a simple adapter: B&H # STDP2MDPMF6I https://bhpho.to/2pBlo1h

Q: 7. what is the cable lengths?

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

Q: 8. will this work with Mevo? or remote cameras?

A: As a Mevo camera does not have an HDMI out, the IOGEAR UpStream Pro Video Production Switch will not directly work with a Mevo, but any remote camera that does have an HDMI out in a supported resolution (1080p 60 / UHD 4K 60), will be supported by either the 2 HD HDMI inputs or the 1 UHD 4K HDMI input.

Q: 9. Does the Rolls MM11 actually turn on and off the mic or is it a moment contact switch that you have to hold to talk?

A: The Rolls MM11 is a momentary (non-latching) switch so you need to hold it down to function. It can be set to work as either a "push to talk" or "push to mute" switch. An internal switch (accessible from the side) allows you to choose how it will function.

Q: 10. Do you have to hold the switch to talk or does it actually turn on and hold the mic in the on positon and then press again to turn off the mic?

A: That depends on how you set the switch to function. The Rolls MM11 Pro is a momentary (non-latching) switch, so you do need to hold the switch to use it, but you can decide whether you want it to function as a momentary mute or a momentary push-to-talk switch. An internal switch (accessible from the side) allows you to select "push to mute" or "push to talk." If you want a switch that you press once for "on" and press again for "off," then you need a latching switch. The Rolls MS111 Mic Switch (B&H # ROMS111) can be set to function as a latching on/off switch or as a momentary microphone mute switch, so you have the option of using it either way.
