How to install IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio (TAA)

To set up your IOGEAR KVMP for optimal performance, connect each computer’s DisplayPort output to the corresponding input on the switch, ensuring the monitors are connected to the proper DisplayPort outputs on the KVMP. Attach the USB 3.0 hub to the upstream port to enable cross-system USB sharing, then connect your keyboard, mouse, and any other USB peripherals to the hub or the device’s USB ports as desired. Route your audio devices to the 3.5mm audio jacks so that sound travels with the active host. Finally, power on the unit and the connected computers, then use the front-panel button or your configured hotkeys to switch control between hosts. For best results, ensure both computers have up-to-date DisplayPort drivers and refresh rates compatible with 4K output, and that your monitors support 4K at 60 Hz on the chosen DisplayPort cables.

Notes for a smooth installation:

• Verify that the DisplayPort cables are securely seated and that the monitors are configured to the correct input sources. 4K at 60 Hz requires compatible cables and monitors.
• If you plan to use USB peripherals across both computers, connect those devices to the KVMP’s USB 3.0 hub rather than directly to the computers to take full advantage of hub sharing.
• After connecting everything, perform a quick test by switching between hosts to confirm keyboard, mouse, audio, and USB devices respond as expected on each system. If you encounter a mismatch in audio routing, re-check the audio path to ensure the correct host is active.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the primary use case for this IOGEAR KVMP?

A: The device is designed for multi-monitor, multi-computer environments where users need to control two computers from a single keyboard, video, and mouse setup, with shared USB peripherals and audio. It’s ideal for designers, engineers, developers, IT technicians, and government staff who require reliable, space-saving control of two systems with high-resolution displays.

Q: Does it support dual 4K displays at the same time?

A: Yes, the KVMP supports 4K-capable DisplayPort connections in a dual-view configuration, enabling high-resolution output per monitor when paired with compatible displays and cables.

Q: How many USB devices can be shared through the hub?

A: The integrated USB 3.0 hub allows sharing a variety of USB peripherals across both hosts. The exact maximum number of devices is governed by the hub’s design and port availability on the unit, so consult the product’s official specifications for the precise port count.

Q: Is audio switching automatic or manual?

A: Audio routing is tied to the active host. When you switch between computers, the audio output automatically follows the selected computer so you can listen to system audio or participate in calls without adjusting cables.

Q: Is this product compatible with non-IOGEAR peripherals?

A: The KVMP is designed to work with standard DisplayPort-enabled devices and common USB peripherals. For best results, use devices that are known to be compatible with KVM sharing and DisplayPort setups. If a device requires proprietary drivers, you may need to connect it directly to a host rather than through the hub.

Q: Do I need to install any drivers?

A: In most cases, no additional drivers are required. Keyboard and mouse inputs should work with basic USB HID support, and video should function through the DisplayPort connection. If a particular peripheral requires software, install and configure it on the host computer as you normally would.

Q: Is this product suitable for government procurement?

A: Yes. The model is TAA-compliant, making it appropriate for procurement in government and other regulated environments where traceability and compliance are required.

Q: Can I use more than two computers with this device?

A: This model is a 2-Port KVMP, meaning it is designed to manage two computers. If you need to control more hosts, you would need a different multi-host KVM solution designed for additional ports and monitors.

Q: What maintenance or care is recommended?

A: Keep the unit clean and free of dust, use high-quality DisplayPort cables, and periodically verify that firmware (if applicable) remains up to date as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Store cables neatly to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain reliable video and USB performance.
