DisplayPort 1.4 KVM setup for MacBook Pro and Desktop PC If you are looking to streamline your workspace and simplify the management of multiple devices, a DisplayPort 1.4 KVM switch can be an ideal solution. This guide will help you understand the key features to consider when selecting the best DisplayPort 1.4 KVM switch for your setup, specifically for a MacBook Pro and a Desktop Gaming PC. We will explore the benefits of a DDM-class KVM switch, the importance of a fast and low-latency video and HID switching, and the significance of an EDID Persistence KVM solution. 1. Understanding the Importance of a DDM-class KVM Switch A DDM-class KVM switch stands for Dynamic Device Mapping, which enables the KVM switch to actively communicate with the connected devices and maintain optimal connectivity and performance. It ensures that your DisplayPort 1.4 monitors, MacBook Pro, and Desktop Gaming PC work seamlessly with the KVM switch. ConnectPRO, a leading provider of KVM solutions, offers ...

Beyond Laptop Deployments - The New Ways As technology evolves, so do the challenges faced in deploying laptop computers for various projects. One significant challenge in recent times is the absence of traditional I/O ports on new laptop systems. Instead, laptops now often come equipped with only USB Type-C connectors or a few Thunderbolt ports for I/O purposes. This transition presents unique obstacles for laptop-computer deployment projects, particularly concerning the connectivity of external video devices and USB peripherals. In this blog article, we will explore the new challenges arising from this shift and propose solutions to ensure successful laptop computer deployment projects in the face of limited I/O ports. Traditional laptop deployment that mainly focused on the installation of OS and applications/reconfiguration system setup/profiling can no longer meet the challenges from a new generation of laptop hardware and firmware integration, and secure configuration requirement...

The First KVM switch lines had been confirmed 100% compatible with Windows 10  Today, we got Windows 10 systems installed and tested with ConnectPRO DDM class KVM switches (including DVI and VGA models ,  Single Console/monitor and dual console/ dual monitor models).   All of DDM class KVM switches passed the test with Windows 10 including the multi-touch touch screen monitor sharing for Windows 10.   Image showed the Dell 2314T Multi-point Touch screen monitor tested with DDM KVM switch.

Ranking problem #1:  Video resolutions changed or Icons on desktop re-located while changing between/among connected Windows 7 or Windows 8 systems of KVM switches. Caused: The KVM switches does not pass correct EDID of the display/monitor to systems connected to the KVM switches.    Solution # 1 . Adding an EDID emulator in between each connected systems and kvm switches                     Solutions #2 .  Upgrade or replace your KVM switch with Video DDM KVM  or "DDM class" KVM switches .  The Video DDM= Full-time All DDC-EDIC function which provide dynamic EDID feeding to each connected systems of KVM switch. Ranking problem #2 :  My Logitech wireless Unifying Receiver devices (keyboard/mouse) can not work with my KVM switches.   Caused: the "Device Stage" of the Windows 7/8 requested to check the status of all connected I/O devices (including monitor, keyboard, mouse or tou...
