1.0 Introduction
The KVM-HDU-4 is a compact 4 port HDMI KVM Switch that features high
speed video switching with HDMI Sink emulation technology, integrated
2-port USB hub, and Keyboard & mouse emulation for each PC input.
The switch supports ultrahigh resolution video including: 2560 x 1440,
2560 x 1600, and 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz.
Connected PCs do not experience any interruption to the video, keyboard,
and mouse operation as a result of switching among the 4 inputs. All
connected PCs continuously detect a keyboard, mouse and display
regardless of the currently selected port.
The KVM-HDU-4 provides an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 Hub. This hub gets
connected to the selected PC as the user switches among the 4 inputs.
Users can connect other USB devices such as webcams, touch screens or
printers to the KVM Switch. Devices plugged into the USB hub ports on the
KVM Switch are only routed to the selected PC. When you select a new PC,
those USB devices disconnect from the last PC and connect to the newly
selected PC.
The front panel features 4 individual buttons for selecting inputs. LED
indicators show the currently selected input port and the status of each
input. Inputs can also be selected via hot-key sequences from the
keyboard.
A power supply connection is not required. The KVM draws its operating
power from the PC USB connections. However, a 5v power input
connector is provided on the unit for special cases where power-hungry
USB devices are used and/or the PCs do not meet the USB power sourcing
specifications.

3.0 Setup and Operation
The figure below shows the rear panel connections on the KVM Switch.
Cables are not included. For each input you must provide one HDMI and
one USB cable.
For the vast majority of KVM switching applications, the KVM-HDU-4 does
not require any power supply since it draws power from the USB
connections from the host PCs.
If the KVM-HDU-4 is used for switching video only with no USB inputs,
then a power supply needs to be connected.
This separately sold power supply is part number 511-U5V2AP5.
