What multiview layouts are available?
Eight display modes: Single, PIP, two PBP layouts, two Triple layouts, and two Quad layouts, each with adjustable 16:9 or full aspect ratio.
What RS-232 commands are available?
Commands include s input x! (switch to input 1-4), s mv mode z! (set multiview mode, 0=single, 1-7 for the other layouts), s output res z! (set output resolution), s audio source z! (select audio source), r status! (device status), and reset! (factory reset).
One window in multiview shows black. What should I check?
Check the corresponding HD input port and its matching USB HOST connection, and confirm the source PC is powered on and actively outputting HDMI to that input.
How is this different from a plain 4x1 HDMI switcher?
Beyond simple source switching, it adds eight multiview layouts (PIP, PBP, Triple, Quad) so multiple PC feeds can be viewed simultaneously on one 4K display, combined with full KVM sharing of keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals across all four PCs.
How does seamless switching differ between single-screen and multiview mode?
In single-screen mode, switching between the four inputs is seamless with zero blackout. In multiview mode, switching is fast but not guaranteed seamless when changing which source occupies a window.
How does the yellow border in multiview mode relate to USB switching?
In multiview mode, pressing the INPUT button moves a yellow border between windows to indicate the active KVM focus; the shared keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals always follow whichever window has the yellow border.
What resolutions does the KVM-4X1MV4K support?
HDMI 2.0b with HDCP 2.2/1.x compliance, supporting 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4 input and output at 18Gbps bandwidth.
What control methods are available?
Six methods: front-panel buttons, IR remote, keyboard/mouse hotkeys, the OSD menu, controller software, and RS-232 commands at 115200 baud over the 3-pin phoenix port.
How many PCs and what USB peripherals does the KVM-4X1MV4K share?
Four PCs, each connected via its own HDMI input and USB Type-B host port. USB 3.0 KVM sharing runs at 5Gbps across 3 USB 3.0 Type-A device ports plus 2 dedicated USB 2.0 Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse; peripherals follow whichever window has the active (yellow-bordered) KVM focus.
What are the unit dimensions, weight, and power requirements?
The switch measures approximately 8.66 x 3.94 x 1.73in (220 x 100 x 44mm) and weighs about 0.98lb (443g). It ships with a 12V/2.5A locking DC power adapter and draws up to 18.48W maximum.
