1. INTRODUCTION
The HKU-A1B-0202 is a 2-port Dual-monitor HDMI 2.0 KVM Switch,
offering USB 3.0/Dual-HDMI video/Audio & Mic console connectors.
Users can effortlessly access two HDMI-enabled computers using
either of the PC1/PC2 pushbuttons on its front panel or an optional
wired QuickSwitch TM button connected to its REMOTE connector.
This allows you to use a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, two 4K UHD
monitors, a speaker set, and a microphone on a console for accessing
two HDMI-enabled computers. For intuitive and fast switching
between two computers, you can not only press the PC1/PC2
pushbuttons or the optional wired QuickSwitch TM button but also
input their corresponding keyboard hotkeys. This dual-monitor HDMI
2.0 KVM switch supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x
2160@60Hz, ensuring optimal display quality to meet your specific
requirements. This 2x2 HDMI 2.0 KVM switch functions in two modes:
Single-port Switching Mode, consisting of two states, and Hybrid
Switching Mode, consisting of four states. The Hybrid Switching
Mode enables the simultaneous display of these sources on the two
console monitors, providing greater flexibility and customization in
managing your display configurations.

6. OPERATION
HKU-A1B-0202 is operated through two operation modes: Single-
port Switching Mode consisting of states 1 and 2 and Hybrid-
Switching Mode consisting of states 3, 4, 5, and 6. The state 1 of
Single-port Switching Mode is the factory default state.
1. Front-panel PC1/PC2 Push button Operation
Refer to the following diagram, where the utilization of the front-
panel PC1/PC2 buttons enable a direct switching between states 1
and 2. For details regarding the operation of the PC1/PC2 buttons,
please consult the [7. Hotkey Reference List] section on next page.
2. Keyboard Hotkey Operation
You may use various keyboard hotkeys to operate the KVM. Each
keyboard hotkey includes at least three (some include four)
consecutive keystrokes. The leading two keystrokes define the
hotkey preceding sequence. Note that a hotkey preceding
sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the
input hotkey preceding sequence will be considered invalid.
See more details in [7. Hotkey Reference List] section on next page
for available keyboard hotkeys.
> Essential Notes for the Unit Operation
a. The PC1/PC2 button only applies between states 1 and 2 of the
Single-port Switching Mode.
b. As only states 1, 2, 5, and 6 are equipped with EDID Emulation
function, the monitors will not undergo the hot-plug detection
procedure during transitions between these states. Therefore,
the application window(s) will stay at its (their) original position
at the extended desktop of the two monitors. However, once
the user performs operation of switching to state 3 or 4, the
monitors will undergo the hot-plug procedure, which might
result in the re-arrangement of the application window(s).
c. Below diagram illustrates the issue of rearrangement of the App.
windows between two scenarios described as above mentioned.
