The Kramer SK21PH-4 lets one operator share a keyboard, mouse and supported display connections across 2 computers. Single-head operation supports one console display.
SK21PH-4 Detailed Features
- Operate 2 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 2 systems at one workstation.
- Share a single console display. Single-head operation switches one display with the operator peripherals. It provides a straightforward way to select a computer while keeping a compact desktop arrangement.
- Work with detailed Ultra HD content. The model supports video up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz. Select a supported source format and compatible displays and cables to achieve the intended resolution and refresh rate.
- Connect DisplayPort and HDMI video. Combination ports accommodate HDMI and DisplayPort connections. This helps integrate a mixed set of digital video equipment without making every computer use the same connector type.
- Keep connected computers isolated. Security-focused signal paths and peripheral handling help reduce opportunities for information to cross between connected hosts. This supports workstations where separate computing environments must share operator equipment.
- Choose a shared-display or separate-display workflow. Supported KVM and KM configurations allow a shared display arrangement or keyboard/mouse sharing with computers connected to their own screens. Follow the model instructions when configuring the desired mode.
- Check keyboard lock status at the switch. Front-panel indicators show keyboard lock states such as Caps Lock and Num Lock. This helps the operator confirm the intended typing mode when using the secure peripheral arrangement.
- Plan for dedicated keyboard and mouse use. This model does not include a separate filtered USB peripheral interface. Select it for the specified console functions rather than for general storage-device, webcam, or smart-card sharing.
- Follow the secure installation requirements. Use the prescribed peripherals and setup procedure, including the required monitor initialization. These requirements are part of the device design and should be checked before replacing attached equipment.
