Switching Between Computers:

The KVM switch offers two convenient methods for switching between the connected computers:

  • Panel Button: Press the 'SELECT' button on the front panel of the KVM switch to toggle between PC 1 and PC 2. The LED indicators will show which computer is currently active.

Display Modes:

The KVM switch supports various display modes depending on your operating system:

  • Windows Systems (MST Mode): Windows systems support Multi-Stream Transport (MST) mode. This allows the two connected monitors to display either identical content (mirror mode) or different content (extended mode), providing a versatile multi-display setup.
  • macOS Systems (SST Mode): Mac M1 and M2 systems, and macOS in general, primarily support Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode for external displays. In SST mode, if you extend to two external monitors, they will display identical content.

USB 3.1 Data Transfer:

The KVM switch's USB 3.1 ports offer data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, ensuring fast and efficient transfer of files between your peripherals and the active computer. These ports are backward compatible with USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) devices.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the KVM switch, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

  • No Display or Incorrect Resolution:
    • Ensure all HDMI and USB-C cables are securely connected.
    • Verify that your monitors, graphics cards, and cables support the desired resolution (e.g., 4K@60Hz).
    • Use high-quality HDMI 2.0 or higher cables, with a length not exceeding 1.5 meters.
    • Check your laptop's display settings to ensure the external monitors are detected and configured correctly (extended or mirror mode).
  • USB Peripherals Not Working:
    • Ensure the USB-C cables connecting your laptops to the KVM switch are full-featured and support data transfer.
    • Try connecting the USB peripheral directly to your laptop to confirm it is functional.
    • Reconnect the USB peripheral to a different USB port on the KVM switch.
  • Laptop Not Charging:
    • Ensure your laptop's power adapter is connected to the 'PD IN' port on the KVM switch.
    • Verify that your power adapter provides sufficient wattage (up to 80W supported by the KVM switch).
  • Switching Issues:
    • Ensure the KVM switch has power (if applicable, though it's bus-powered via USB-C).
    • Check the LED indicators to confirm which PC is active.
    • Try both the panel button and the wired remote control to switch.
  • Mac M1/M2 Dual Monitor Limitation:
    • As noted in the display modes section, Mac M1/M2 systems support SST mode. This means that when extending to two external monitors, both monitors will display the same content. This is a limitation of the macOS system, not the KVM switch.

8. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CAMGEET USB C Dual Monitor KVM Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
