The Kramer DK42PU-N lets one operator share a keyboard, mouse and supported display connections across 4 computers. Dual-head operation supports a two-display workstation.
DK42PU-N Detailed Features
- Operate 4 computers from one console. A shared keyboard and mouse reduce the need for a separate peripheral set at every computer. This suits an operator who regularly moves between 4 systems at one workstation.
- Share a two-monitor desktop. Dual-head operation provides two display connections for the selected computer. This gives users space for two applications or a wider desktop, subject to the computer and display configuration.
- Work with detailed Ultra HD content. The model supports video up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz. Select a supported source format and compatible displays and cables to achieve the intended resolution and refresh rate.
- Connect DisplayPort video. The model's DisplayPort video connections determine the source and display cabling needed. Check the exact connector arrangement before ordering cables for all computer channels.
- Keep audio on a chosen computer. Audio-freeze operation lets the operator continue listening to one system while switching the other workstation peripherals. This can be useful when monitoring a call or an audio feed during another task.
- Support a separate-display KM arrangement. The manufacturer also documents keyboard/mouse sharing with computers connected to their own displays. Check the required software and configuration before setting up a multi-display workflow.
- Use supported cross-computer copy and paste. The manufacturer lists text and file transfer between connected computers. Review software requirements and the intended data-sharing workflow before enabling this function in the workstation.
- Share USB 3.0 peripherals. SuperSpeed USB ports support suitable data devices, and USB freeze can retain a peripheral on a selected computer while other functions change. Match the device and host requirements to the supported USB configuration.
