Hall Technologies KVMC-UH-8 8-Port HDMI Switch Console

Overview

The KVMC-UH-8 is an 8-port HDMI KVM Switch Console in a 1U rack drawer. The switch console features built-in LCD supporting Ultra-High video resolutions such as 2560×1440, 2560×1600, and 3840×2160.

The switch provides keyboard and mouse emulation for all 8 PC inputs.  It does not matter if a PC is selected on the KVM Switch or not, all host PC’s “see” connection to a keyboard and a mouse.  However, the data from the “actual” built-in keyboard and mouse pad are sent to the selected PC.

The KVM Switch also provides LCD emulation on all HDMI video inputs.  The HDMI outputs from all PCs get a HPD (hot plug detect) signal, as if they were connected directly to an LCD.  This reduces the video switching times to 1~2 seconds. Since each PC video always detects a monitor, when switching dual-video PCs, there is no interruption in the video since the Operating System of the PC is unaware of the KVM Switching.

The KVMC-UH-8 also provides an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 Hub with one port on the rear and one on the front.  When you select a new PC on the KVM, the USB 2.0 hub connects to the selected PC.

The console features 8 individual buttons for selecting inputs.  LED indicators show the currently selected input channel and the status of each input.  Inputs can also be selected via hot-key sequences from the keyboard.  The console provides self-locking rails and automatically lock when the LCD panel is closed to make for the most simple and hassle free operation.
