Product Features
Product Overview
The StarTech.com SV231DDVDUA is a professional-grade 2-port KVM switch designed for efficient multi-computer workspace management. This desktop switch enables seamless sharing of keyboard, mouse, audio, and dual monitors between two computers, eliminating the need for duplicate peripherals and reducing desktop clutter. With support for both DVI and VGA video interfaces, it accommodates diverse monitor configurations while maintaining crisp 1920x1440 resolution.
Built for reliability in business environments, the switch includes a built-in USB 2.0 hub with six ports, allowing additional peripherals like printers, scanners, or storage devices to be shared alongside the core KVM functions. The device operates without requiring drivers or software installation, ensuring compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Front-panel controls provide intuitive channel selection, while status LEDs offer clear visual feedback on active connections.
Technical Overview
This KVM switch delivers robust video performance with WUXGA graphic mode support and maximum 1920x1440 resolution at 60Hz refresh rates. The dual-monitor capability works with one VGA and one DVI display simultaneously, or two displays of the same interface type when using appropriate adapters. Video signal integrity is maintained through adjustable video strength controls accessible via a rear function key.
The integrated USB 2.0 hub provides six downstream ports: two dedicated for keyboard and mouse sharing, plus four additional ports for peripheral expansion. Audio switching operates independently from video, allowing users to route audio through the KVM or maintain separate audio paths as needed. Power flexibility comes from a universal 110-240V AC adapter included in the package.
