IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio

In today’s high-performance workstations, crossing between two computers while preserving pristine visuals and responsive peripheral access is essential. The IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio is built for power users who demand cinema-quality 4K visuals, immersive audio, and seamless sharing of keyboards, mice, and peripherals across two PCs. This dual-view KVMP switch consolidates two independent systems into a single control surface, so you can allocate your time and attention to the task at hand rather than fiddling with cables, manual reconfigurations, or software switching. By combining DisplayPort video routing, USB 3.0 hub functionality, and integrated audio switching in a compact, sturdy chassis, IOGEAR delivers a dependable solution for professionals who rely on dual-monitor setups, fast data transfer, and uncompromised audio fidelity. Whether you’re editing 4K footage, running simulations, comparing data from two machines, or simply multitasking across two operating environments, this device makes switching effortless, reliable, and remarkably crisp at 4K resolutions. It’s the kind of upgrade that transforms a chaotic desk into a streamlined, efficient workspace that scales with your workflow.

• Seamless 4K dual-view performance: The IOGEAR KVMP switch is designed to support cinema-grade 4K resolutions across two DisplayPort monitors, delivering sharp detail, accurate color reproduction, and smooth motion for professional video editing, 3D design, CAD, and data visualization. By routing both computers’ video through dual DisplayPort outputs, you can maintain parallel, high-fidelity displays without downgrading image quality or introducing drift between devices.
• Integrated USB 3.0 hub for quick peripheral sharing: Share keyboards, mice, flash drives, external SSDs, capture devices, and more across both systems with high-speed USB 3.0 bandwidth. The built-in hub reduces cable clutter while enabling fast data transfers and reliable peripheral access from either PC. This is especially valuable for creative suites, engineering tools, or IT environments where multiple USB devices must be accessed from either machine without reconnecting cables.
• Noise-free, immersive audio switching: In addition to video and USB, this KVMP switch routes audio between the two hosts, enabling clear dialogue, music, and game audio with enhanced bass and, as described, 7.1 surround-capable systems where supported by source hardware. Audio routing is synchronized with video and USB sharing, so you won’t experience mismatched audio or misaligned channels when you switch computers.
• Effortless switching for productivity: Ergonomically designed for quick, reliable transitions, the switch supports multiple switching methods, including convenient front-panel controls and keyboard hotkeys. You can switch from PC1 to PC2 with a single keystroke or push of a button, keeping your workflow uninterrupted. Advanced features such as EDID management help preserve display settings, color accuracy, and screen resolution across switches, so your monitors stay consistent even as you move between hosts.
• Robust build and future-ready design: Built to handle demanding professional environments, the 2-port configuration minimizes desk clutter while delivering dependable performance. The dual-view capability ensures you can exploit a two-monitor setup for multitasking, code reviews, design iterations, or QA testing, while the integrated USB hub and audio routing keep your peripherals in reach. The device’s architecture supports scalable workflows, allowing your workstation to evolve without sacrificing compatibility or speed.

how to install IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio

• Position the KVMP switch on your desk and connect the power adapter if required by your model.
• Connect each computer’s DisplayPort output to the corresponding DisplayPort inputs on the KVMP switch. Use two separate DP cables for PC1 and PC2 as indicated by the device labeling.
• Attach two DisplayPort cables from the KVMP switch to your two monitors in the desired arrangement (one display per DP output or as your workstation layout requires).
• Connect USB peripherals to the switch’s built-in USB 3.0 hub or to the USB ports on the front/back as directed by the manual. This enables keyboard, mouse, storage devices, and other peripherals to be shared between both hosts.
• Connect audio lines if you plan to use analog or digital audio routing, then power on the switch and both computers. Use the front-panel buttons or keyboard hotkeys to toggle between PC1 and PC2, verify that each computer’s display is active, and confirm that USB devices and audio switch as expected.
• Perform a quick test: confirm that each PC can control the shared keyboard and mouse, that both displays show the correct input from the selected machine, and that USB devices and audio follow the active host. If needed, adjust EDID settings or display resolutions to optimize clarity and color accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What resolutions does this switch support for dual 4K displays? A: The device supports cinema-grade 4K output on dual displays, enabling high-detail visuals essential for design, video, and professional workloads. Exact support may vary by DisplayPort version and host GPU; consult the official specs for your exact configuration.
• Q: Can I share USB devices between the two computers? A: Yes. The built-in USB 3.0 hub allows you to use the same keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals with either PC, with switching controlled by the KVM switch.
• Q: How do I switch between the two computers? A: Switching can be performed via front-panel controls or keyboard hotkeys, depending on the model and user preference. This enables fast, uninterrupted work across two hosts without reconnecting cables.
• Q: Is audio routed automatically when I switch hosts? A: Yes. The switch handles audio routing so that whichever computer is active sends audio to the connected speakers or headset, including applied bass or multi-channel setups where supported by your hardware.
• Q: What operating systems are supported? A: KVMP switches generally support major desktop operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions. Specific features, driver requirements, or limitations may vary; verify compatibility with your environment in the official documentation.
