hey guys this is Justin with Buytesmart.com today we're gonna run through two new dual
monitor kvms by tesmart these are great products if you're a work from home professional that wants
to reduce the headache of switching back and forth between two computers with two monitors
I'll explain the highlights as we go through the demo so let's just go ahead and jump right in
as you can see we have a MacBook Pro and a Windows Surface pro that's docked for today's setup please
note that Dual Monitor KVM require two video connections from each PC so if we've used some
adapters here to get this set up for you today we have a couple LG 4k 60 monitors the mk5 40
mouse and keyboard from Logitech as well as a webcam and a headset for our you remote
workers out there please note the webcam in the headset are both connected to an Amazon basics
USB hub we simply push the yellow button in the front of KVM to switch which computer is using
all of these devices or we can use the hotkey command scroll lock scroll lock in the input
you want to select or use a remote control by pressing the input number it's that easy
now for some of the highlights these models have te smarts second-generation chipset that
has passed through mode for better mouse and keyboard functionality most wired Wireless
mechanical gaming keyboards are now supported along with the multimedia and function keys
you can check out the library of keyboards that we've tested in their compatibility on the product
page that's linked below these models have the ability to reassign the trigger for the hockey
commands from scroll lock to right control by pressing Scroll scroll f1 if you're a Mac user
you're likely going to want to do this since Mac keyboards do not have a scroll lock button
and if you happen to be using the magic keyboard you're going to want to plug the keyboard into
the KVM because bluetooth goes directly from the keyboard to the computer and will bypass the KVM
other key features are the ever-popular mode 1 and mode 2 options mode 1 which we call extended
desktop as one computer on 2 monitors then there's mode 2 which we get to by pressing Scroll scroll
three or four here you have one computer on one monitor and the other computer on the other
monitor simultaneously to switch which computer you're controlling simply press the hotkey Alt alt
in your mouse and keyboard will switch to the other monitor and other computer super simple
other highlights include video resolutions up to 4k 60 Hertz on both monitors simultaneously
in even faster refresh rates at lower resolutions for you gamers out there
then there's also the analogue audio output to connect external speakers and a USB 2.0
port to share other devices such as a webcam printer jump drive etc you're going to need
a powered USB hub if you want to connect more than one of these USB devices at the same time
going over the physical device itself on the front you have four LEDs the first two LEDs tell
you if there's an active USB connection to each of the computers and the next two LEDs indicate
which computer is selected if only one or two is activated you are in mode one if both are
activated you are in mode two going to the back of the device now we have the 12 volt power input
and analog audio output both models have dual HDMI video outputs next we have the two emulated
mouse and keyboard ports only mice and keyboards should be plugged into these two slots then we
have the USB 2.0 port and finally the inputs for PC 2 and PC 1 as you can see the only difference
between these units is that one requires two HDMI connections and the other requires an HDMI and a
display port connection in total you'll have three connections from each PC the KVM needs both video
signals for dual monitors and the USB is necessary for the mouse and keyboard we have a list of
tested and approved adapters on our support database if you need to create video signals or
if you need to convert from one to another to meet these requirements okay so that's it for today's
overview we have a link below for a step-by-step video on how to set up dual monitor kvms and we'll
also be uploading a video on how to operate these units in the future if you have any questions let
