The multi-platform KVM switch is capable of managing eight computers through a single HDMI monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse and other USB 2.0 devices. This is the first KVM switch on the market that features support for 4K ultra HD (3840x2160p at 30Hz or 4Kx2K at 60Hz YUV4:2:0) workstations. The device also features SmartPreview technology, which enables simultaneous picture-in-picture monitoring of the other sources connected to the switch. This helpful technology allows users to keep tabs on the other connected workstations without constantly needing to switch back and forth.

The USB emulation technology utilized by HDN-8P enables immediate hot key source switching through a remote USB keyboard and mouse. HDN-8P is HDMI 1.4 and HDCP compliant, which supports 4K ultra HD resolutions and 12-bit deep color at 1080p at 60Hz. RS-232 control and front panel switching are supported. The switch also transmits digital audio.
