Black Box KV9612A-K DVI-D KVM Switch
Overview
The Black Box KV9612A-K is a desktop KVM switch designed to consolidate control of multiple computers using a single DVI-D monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This unit specifically addresses scenarios where you need to switch between systems without complex network configurations, providing direct hardware control. Its emulated DDC (Display Data Channel) ensures that connected computers correctly identify the monitor's capabilities, preventing resolution or refresh rate issues. This is critical for environments requiring consistent display output, such as control rooms or development workstations.
Compatibility
This KVM switch is designed for use with computers featuring DVI-D video outputs. It supports emulated DDC, meaning it should be compatible with most modern PCs and workstations that correctly report monitor EDID information. It is intended for use with standard USB keyboards and mice, and DVI-D video connections. Specific compatibility with operating systems is dependent on the host computer's USB and DVI drivers.
Installation Notes
Connect your primary DVI-D monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse to the console ports on the KV9612A-K. Then, connect the DVI-D video cables and USB cables from each computer you wish to control to the corresponding computer ports on the switch. Power is supplied via a standard USB connection to one of the host computers or an external USB power adapter (not included). Switching between computers is typically accomplished via a physical button on the unit.
