Why Choose HKS1601-M24
Overview
01
8K60 for Detail. High-Refresh 4K for Motion.
HDMI 2.1 provides 48Gbps bandwidth with support up to 8K@60Hz 4:4:4 and backward compatibility through 4K@144Hz, plus VRR, FVA, ALLM and DSC on supported hardware.
02
EDID Keeps Every PC Display-Ready
EDID emulation on the input ports keeps monitor information available to connected systems, helping reduce resolution changes and display re-detection when switching across a large PC pool.
03
Control It Locally or Remotely
Switch through front-panel controls, IR remote, keyboard hotkeys or mouse-wheel control. LAN and RS232 interfaces support managed or integrated deployments where the KVM may not sit within arm's reach.
04
Auto Detect Active Sources
Auto Detect can follow changes in connected active sources, reducing manual input selection when systems are plugged in or removed.
