Professional workstations have long been equipped with DisplayPort, and as the need for multi-monitor setups continues to grow, the interface's prominence has become increasingly obvious. According to a study by Jon Peddie Research, multi-monitor systems can increase productivity by 42%. As 4K DisplayPort with 60Hz (DP 1.2) support becomes more affordable for end users, demand grows for KVM switches capable of supporting its native resolution and reasonable refresh rates, signaling that they are no longer a hobby Exclusive tool for authors or administrators.
Here are four situations where you will need to future-proof your multi-screen workstation with a DisplayPort KVM switch:
1、CAD design and video post-production:
Computer-aided design (CAD) and PC-assisted video production were among the first work environments to adopt multi-screen displays because they required viewing large amounts of complex content simultaneously to operate effectively.
Work in these fields requires precise video clarity and high data transfer rates, and DisplayPort KVM can easily meet these needs.
2、Fast data transfer:
In work environments such as finance and enterprise, instant data sharing is crucial.
DisplayPort KVM supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, with transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, much faster than USB 2.0, and the interface is backwards compatible, ensuring you can share and receive important data when you need it.
3、Multitasking:
Multiple computers on a workstation may have different functions, such as one for editing and VFX work and another for audio production.
DisplayPort KVM switches save time handling cables, changing display sources, and moving keyboards and mice.
DisplayPort KVM with MST (Multi-Stream Transport) support offers widescreen video resolution, ideal for settings that require a high level of detail, such as financial services, data centers or surveillance.
4、game:
DisplayPort is capable of handling 4K at 60Hz and has become the default input/output on gaming motherboards.
DisplayPort KVM allows gaming in dual-monitor workstations, delivering stunning visuals and extra detail that simply isn’t visible at lower resolutions.
With MST, the multi-screen display provided by DisplayPort KVM can provide users with a truly immersive gaming experience.
Purplelec is ready for DisplayPort 1.2:
Purplelec is an early adopter of the technology with its full line of 4K-capable DisplayPort KVM switches.
This KVM switch combines next-generation display standards with seamless KVM control of up to four connected computers, allowing users to use multiple monitors through a single DisplayPort connection.
KVM switch optimizes the desktop and allows users to easily manage three-monitor multimedia workstations, providing instant and convenient access to four computers through a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and three HDMI monitors, supporting up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz) resolution and a built-in USB 3.1 Gen. 1 hub with data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps to accelerate multimedia operations.
