Enjoy crisp text, rich colors, and smooth video across both displays, making it ideal for graphic design, video editing, CAD, data analysis, and other resolution-intensive tasks. The dual-monitor capability ensures you have expansive screen real estate for reference material, tool palettes, and primary workspaces at the same time.
• USB 2.0 hub and audio sharing: The built-in 2-Port USB 2.0 hub lets you share peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, USB drives, and other USB devices between computers. In addition, audio passthrough enables you to connect speakers or headsets to experience synchronized audio across both machines. This feature reduces desk clutter and eliminates the need to switch cables when you change hosts.
• No driver installation required: Plug-and-play simplicity means you can deploy the TK-240DP quickly across a wide range of systems. The absence of driver installation minimizes downtime and IT overhead, while broad compatibility helps ensure that Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms work with minimal setup. This makes it an excellent fit for shared workspaces, classrooms, and studio environments where quick provisioning matters.
• Compact, reliable design for busy desks: The TK-240DP combines a compact, rugged chassis with intuitive controls to deliver dependable performance in everyday use. Its dual-monitor routing, sturdy build, and straightforward wiring help maintain a clean workspace and reduce cable tangles.
