In the modern digital display realm, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) and DP (DisplayPort) are two major interface standards, each with unique features and benefits suitable for different applications. TESmart's newly launched HDK0202A2U KVM switch cleverly combines these two technologies, offering a comprehensive and efficient multi-screen management solution.
Advantages of HDMI Technology
Widely used in home entertainment systems and consumer electronics, like TVs, gaming consoles, and home theater systems, HDMI's main advantages lie in its broad compatibility and support for high-definition content. HDMI interfaces can transmit both video and audio signals, simplifying device connections and providing a high-quality audio-visual experience.
