    Daniel -Thanks for taking time to talk with me today. Here is the question per our discussion for you to research.

    Does the SmartAVI SKM-04S and SmartAVI SKM-08S work with Windows Extended Display mode that I shouldn't have to install any software/drivers on each computer? Will Extended Display mode work on MacOS and Linux without having to install any software/drivers on each computer? (Using Windows 10 and 11 64-bit, Mac OS 64-bit, latest OS, and Linux/Ubuntu 64-bit)

    I am not able to attach a drawing (pdf). I can email a drawing for clarity if provided with an email to send it to. Just email me and I will reply with attachment.

    Thanks,
    Ian Bolah

    Hello Ian,

    The SKM-04 and SKM-08 from SmartAVI will work with Windows Extended Display mode so long as the switch is in Multi-Head mode. There is no need to install any drivers for this. Please see the manuals available on our website for more information on that process.

    Thank you!

    Hello Ian,

    When using computers with multiple displays, SKM-04 and SKM-08 allow switching between computers through the use of simple mouse clicks and gestures. No device driver is required.
    Simply press the scroll wheel twice and then move the mouse in the direction of the channel you desire to switch.
    (This feature only works in Multi-Head display mode).

    Hope this helps!
