This switch is DisplayPort 1.1 compliant and supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1920, as well as share USB peripherals between multiple sources, helping to provide increased flexibility for those who need to share high-res screens and USB devices. Using Adder's True Emulation technology, low- and full-speed USB HID devices can be continuously emulated to each other, supporting not only hotkey switching, but also the extra keys and features of enhanced keyboards and mice. Also supported are two independently switchable low-, full-, and high-speed USB 2.0 channels as well an audio channel, all of which provide users with the flexibility to attach a wide variety of peripherals to different computers.
