how to install SmartAVI 4-Port HDMI, USB and Audio KVM Switch

Installing the SmartAVI KVM switch is a straightforward process intended to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. Follow these steps to get your multi-computer workspace up and running quickly, with stable video, input, and audio sharing across all connected devices.

  • Power down all computers and the monitor before making connections to prevent any short-circuit or signal issues during setup.
  • Connect each computer’s HDMI output to the corresponding HDMI input on the KVM switch. Then connect the KVM switch’s HDMI output to your monitor or display using a standard HDMI cable.
  • Plug your USB keyboard and USB mouse into the USB ports on the KVM switch to enable shared control across all connected computers. If your setup includes additional USB peripherals, connect them to available USB ports on the switch as well.
  • Route the audio signals by connecting each computer’s audio output to the KVM switch’s audio inputs, and then connect your speakers or headphones to the switch’s audio output. This ensures synchronized audio when you switch between hosts.
  • Appoint the active computer by pressing the front-panel tactile switch or by enabling auto-scan mode. Power on all devices, then verify video, keyboard, mouse, and audio are correctly routed for each machine as you cycle through sources.
  • Fine-tune your setup as needed. If you’re using a high-refresh-rate monitor or multi-monitor array, confirm the HDMI handshake remains stable and that audio output remains synchronized with the video as you switch between computers.
