    Your KVM switch supports 2 PC's and 2 monitors.

    I'm looking for a solution to support 2 PC's and 4 monitors - ideally over one multiscreen DisplayPort cable.

    The daisy chain is as follows

    A: PC's
    PC1: Output = multiscreen (4) DiplayPort cable
    PC2: Output = multiscreen (4) DiplayPort cable

    B: "Switch"
    Input: PC1 (see above)
    Input: PC2 (see above)
    Output: multiscreen (4) DiplayPort (complete signal from PC1 or PC2)

    C: MST-Hub or Monitors with Input/Output


    Do you have or plan such a solution ?

    As you can see here, most multi-screen KVM switches natively supporting DisplayPort only support dual-view.
    (One exception is AdderView DDX system which can support DisplayPort on the computer end but requires the monitors to have a DVI connector).

    To support quad-view (4 video-ports per computer and 4 monitors at the console) - you will need to go with a DVI solution such as DVN-4Quad-DL, or AdderView 4 PRO DVI MultiScreen, Quad-Head for high resolution, or DVN-4Quad for lower resolution.

    Since DisplayPort video is compatible with DVI, all you will need is to use simple DVI-DisplayPort adapters.

    Not sure what you mean by this - please explain.
