Working with two video sources (KVM Switch)

If you have two computer systems, you might find yourself busy going back and forth
between two sets of keyboard and mouse to control each display separately. Now with the
KVM feature and sufficient I/O ports on one monitor, you can work with one set of keyboard
and mouse only.
To use KVM Switch feature, toggle between Thunderbolt 3 (models with Thunderbolt™) /
USB-C (models without Thunderbolt™) or USB Upstream under KVM Switch. Available
video inputs and the corresponding menu options vary by model and are not specified in
the following statement. Refer to your monitor OSD menus for available options and
settings.
• KVM Switch > Thunderbolt 3 (models with Thunderbolt™) / USB-C (PD3420Q): Switches
to the Thunderbolt™ 3 / USB-C™ input.
• KVM Switch > USB Upstream: Switches to one of the video inputs other than
Thunderbolt™ 3 (models with Thunderbolt™) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q). With appropriate
setting, the display is switched to the set input while the keyboard and mouse control is
switched as well. To determine the input, see
Switch before use on page
You can designate one of the custom keys to KVM Switch to toggle between the options
quickly. See Customizing the hot keys on page
Setting up the second video source for KVM Switch before
use
If your model came with a KVM pairing label near I/O ports on the rear of the monitor, simply connect the
video sources properly as indicated by the label.
One of the video sources is pre-defined to be transmitted via Thunderbolt™ 3 (models with
Thunderbolt™) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q) and cannot be changed. The other source can come
from other available inputs and should be set appropriately in advance.
