Features
Connects 16 HDMI-Enabled Devices to a Single HDMI Monitor, Keyboard and MouseThis rackmount KVM switch lets you access, control, boot and reboot up to 16 computers or other devices with
HDMI ports at the same time. In addition to desktop and notebook computers, the switch also connects up
to 16 media centers, gaming systems, Blu-ray and DVD players, cable and satellite boxes, DVRs and
other HDMI-enabled devices. All 16 computers share one HDMI monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse,
which saves space on your desk or workspace.
Connect up to 256 Computers to One Original ConsoleYou can also cascade up to two levels of B024HU16 KVM switches, allowing centralized access to as many as 256 computers using a single monitor,
keyboard and mouse.
Switching Between Computers Is Fast and EasyUse the front-panel pushbuttons, hotkey commands or
multi-lingual On-Screen Display (OSD) with text-based interface for quick and easy toggling between
computers. Or you can use Auto Scan mode to scan all connected computers in five-second intervals
automatically. Orange LEDs indicate which computer is currently selected.
Cables Are Included for Fast and Simple SetupConnect your HDMI monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
speakers to the switch’s console ports. Then, use the included HDMI and USB cables to connect your
computers to the KVM switch. The plug-and-play B024-HU16 requires no drivers, so you can connect and
use it immediately. It works with all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux.
USB Hub Lets You Share Peripherals between ComputersThe built-in two-port USB 2.0 hub allows
you to share USB peripherals, such as printers, hard drives, scanners, webcams and flash drives,
between all connected computers. Because the USB ports operate independently, you can print
documents from one computer while working on a different computer. The hub is backward compatible
with USB 1.1 devices. Green LEDs indicate which computer is using the connected USB device.
Transmits Crystal-Clear 1080p Video and Digital AudioThe B024-HU16 supports high-definition video
resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (including 1080p) at 60 Hz, 2.1-channel surround sound audio and USB 2.0
data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. With independent audio switching, you can listen to music or other
audio from one computer while working on a different computer. The front-panel audio jacks have priority
over the rear-panel jacks.
