I have an older video card with 3 outputs: DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI, and am currently running 3 monitors from those (with no use of adapters).

I've started a new job and have been supplied with:

• an HP laptop
• with an HP G6 Dock (aka thunderbolt?) which has 2 DisplayPort outputs and 1 HDMI.
• (2x) Asus BE24EQK monitors, each with: 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 1 D-Sub inputs

I would like to use my current monitor setup and just install a KVM with my personal PC...

We need to support 5 or more computers and 8 displays.

It would be nice but not critical to include displays driven by VMs.

We would like to use 2 large 4K monitors and a single mouse and keyboard.

The Black Box Emerald system looks like it would work but is beyond our budget. We would like to keep the cost for a station including the monitors below $7K.]]> 4 Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:13:06 +0000 http://hc.kvmgalore.com/threads/dual-monitor-source-kvm-to-internet-gateway-tailscale.4156/ http://hc.kvmgalore.com/threads/dual-monitor-source-kvm-to-internet-gateway-tailscale.4156/ invalid@example.com (Brian K) Brian K

I'm seeking a KVM that will allow me to use my old PC with a DVI port and my newer PC that has HDMI and a DisplayPort.

Currently I have an IOGEAR unit that goes DVI- to the current PCs and it has 2 of the older round mouse and keyboards interfaces on it, so basically each PC has a DVI, and older mouse and older keyboard currently all works good.

But my new PC doesn't have DVI port on the back, just the HDMI and DisplayPort and USB ports as well (but none of the older-round ports) and...

One of my customers has a Vertiv SCMV2160DPH secure KVM switch and they are trying to use two sets of mice, keyboards at two different locations. Normally I could just use a USB hub for this but it doesn't work. I did notice however that the Vertiv SCUSBHIDFilter has two USB ports going to one so....I'm wondering if this will work to connect both the mouse and keyboard to each of the USB ports on the KVM? If not, then let me know if there might be a different solution....

3 computer switch]]> 1 Wed, 14 May 2025 20:34:34 +0000 http://hc.kvmgalore.com/threads/which-kvm-switch.4131/ http://hc.kvmgalore.com/threads/which-kvm-switch.4131/ invalid@example.com (John H.) John H. I have 3 Mac Mini computers with different mac OS (OS 10.6.8, 10.13.6, and 14) and would like to use only one monitor, one mouse, and one keyboard. The older Mac Mini that's on the OS 10.6.8 is the only one that has VGA port for the monitor. The other two Macs have HDMI ports.

Does KVMGalore have something to handle this for me? And, if so, what is the cost?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure of the model number if any. It may be SW332.

I am curious as to the number of cables required. All of the info I can find shows 4 cables from each computer to the switch. "HDMI to HDMI + DP to DP + DP to DP + USB". Note the use of "+".

So do I really need 4 cables...

We have 4 PCs that need to be accessed from either Desk A or Desk B.

Desk A and Desk B both have 3 monitors, keyboard, mouse.

So Today, Desk A may access PC1 and Desk B may access PC2.
Tomorrow, Desk A may access Pc3 and Desk B may access PC1.

All 3 monitors only need to access one PC at a time (e.g. no need to split monitors amongst the PCs).

We are currently using a DisplayPort daisy chain in the monitors, so if you only have a KVM that supports 2 devices but can do daisy...

I have a use case where we have 2 laptops and 2 external monitors. I am looking for a traditional KVM that also has at least one built in video adapter. Does something like this exist?

Alternatively, I could use a pair of USB-to-HDMI adapters and a conventional KVM.

Any recommendations on device? Thank you.]]> 1
