The DisplayPort 1.2 KVMP technology delivers up to 4K DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) resolution standard, which is 4096 x 2160 at a frame rate of 60 Hz. This 2-Port 4K KVMP Switch is designed for environments requiring high graphics resolution, such as professional film and video production industries. Customize your video content viewing from one to two monitors, from mirror image to extended image, for a more cinematic experience. IOGEAR's 4K DisplayPort KVMP Switch also enhances consumer electronics applications in motion graphics design, animation, engineering, architecture, and media design.

Please bear in mind that your source must be DisplayPort 1.2 MST compliant to extend viewing. A DisplayPort 1.1 source supports mirror viewing only.

For those that need to add a second monitor for a full production environment, the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K DisplayPort KVMP Switch with Dual Video Out is a strong solution. Turn your single video input into a dual video output by connecting both your DisplayPort and HDMI monitors and HDMI. This switch is suited for applications like call centers, retail stores, concession stands, outdoor events, and other applications. Host a training session or presentation by mirroring your content to a separate HDMI monitor wirelessly by connecting the KVM switch to an HDMI wireless transmitter, such as the IOGEAR Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver Kit (GWHD11).

Switch and access two DisplayPort computers from a simple push button on the front panel, hotkey combination on your keyboard, or 3-button USB wheel mouse. With mouse emulation turned on, quickly switch between connected computers by clicking the wheel button on your 3-button USB mouse. IOGEAR's 2-Port 4K DisplayPort KVMP Switch also offers the option to send RS-232 commands via serial port for source switching, making it well-suited for 911 call centers, broadcast centers, video control rooms, or any application where you need to remotely control the KVM from a different room.

Additional smart connectivity features turn your workstation into a convenient and easy-to-use powerhouse. The Power on Detection feature helps ensure that this KVMP will automatically connect to the next powered-on computer and users can add up to 3 monitors for an expanded workstation. The built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports allow connectivity of up to 5 Gb/s and provide backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 legacy devices.

Please bear in mind that your source must be DisplayPort 1.2 MST compliant to extend viewing. A DisplayPort 1.1 source supports mirror viewing only.

Avoid unplugging and plugging USB peripherals and audio devices between your two computers. Share your peripherals with the push of a button and forget about purchasing additional keyboards, mice, monitors, hard drives, flash drives, printers, and more. Additionally, straightforward firmware updates help eliminate the need to buy upgraded KVMP switches.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I want to use this with an hdmi to DisplayPort converter to connect my Xbox to an lg 4K monitor. Would it work? The monitor only accepts usb c and thunderbolt 3.

A: No, the IOGEAR USB Type-C to DisplayPort 4K Cable (6.6') BH #IOG2LU3CDP12 is not going to work for that. Currently we do not have any products that would allow you to use the Xbox with an LG monitor that is only Thunderbolt 3/USB Type C.

Q: 2. Can this be used to connect a iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019) to an older iMac model to use as a second monitor?

A: Yes you can use this to connect to a 2019 21.5 inch imac

Q: 3. I'm going to buy LG 24UD58-B 4K monitor to be connected with Samsung NP900PX5L notebook using usb-c interface. Will this cable work to output 4K resolution? The specs state the usb-c can output 4K but I'm not sure whether it is thunderbolt compatible or not, is it even required in this case.

A: Yes, it is compatible.

Q: 4. Does it support PAL camcorders with 1080 50p HDMI ?

A: There's no mention from the manufacture stating that this would work with PAL/50HZ.

Q: 5. Will this support 1440p at 144Hz?

A: If your monitor is a 2560 x 1440 resolution monitor that supports a refresh rate of 144Hz, this cable will support it.

Q: 6. Can I use my Chromebook as a screem for my XBox One using this adapter?

A: No. This will not act as a capture card for your Chromebook.

Q: 7. Is this cable compatible with the Ipad Air (4th generation)?

A: No this isnt compatible with an iPad Air 4th Gen.

Q: 8. Does this cable work with HDCP content?

A: It is the device, not the cable, which influences HDCP, so the IOGEAR USB Type-C to DisplayPort 4K Cable (6.6') will not influence whether you are able to stream or display HDCP content.

Q: 9. My TV doesn't have an HDMI but it has the UDS. Could this be used as an adapter in oder to give my TV the capability of connecting my Xbox One as this can only be connected via HDMI?

A: This IOGEAR adapter is probably not what you need because it's to connect a source with a DisplayPort connection *to* HDMI, not the other way around, which is what you want. Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend using the TV speakers for sound; you can get much better audio using the S/PDIF optical output from your Xbox One with a powered speaker system.

Q: 10. 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.
