7. Għajnuniet għall-Utenti

USB-C for Data Only: The USB-C ports on the KVM switch are for connecting the USB data channels from your PCs to the KVM, enabling shared peripherals. They do not carry video signals; video input is exclusively via the DisplayPort inputs.
High Refresh Rates: While the KVM supports up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, the actual refresh rate for lower resolutions like Full HD (1080p) will depend on your graphics card, monitor capabilities, and cable quality. The KVM itself is designed to pass through high refresh rates supported by DP1.4.
Kwalità tal-Kejbil: For optimal performance, especially with high resolutions and refresh rates, use high-quality DisplayPort 1.4 cables and USB 3.0 cables.
Stabbiltà tal-Enerġija: The KVM switch uses a DC12V/2A power adapter. Ensure it's always connected, especially when using power-hungry USB devices like external hard drives, to prevent disconnections or instability.
