Can the monitors be viewed independently? In other words, is it possible to have monitor 1 showing output from computer 1, and monitors 2-4 showing output from computer 2?
Thank you for your inquiry,

That would absolutely be possible. You can simply plug in the monitor cables from computer 2 to the inputs for the monitors 2-4 on port 1.

If you want want the monitors from computer 2 to show on multiple ports, you can use a HDMI splitter to split the video signal to multiple ports.

For a recommendation based on your application, please feel free to contact your KVM Switches Online sales representative directly.

1. I will be using 4 display monitors, between one windows desktop and one linux desktop. Will this work so that each time I am in one of the environments I will have the 4 screen real estate? (2.) Will it still work if I use hdmi to dvi-d adapters? And how many cables would in need to complete a quad screen setup?
Thank you for your inquiry,
  1. That is correct! You can use this SmartAVI HDN-4Quad to switch between two desktop computers (one Windows, and one Linux) and use all 4 monitors within each desktop in standard "extended mode" or "mirrored mode".
  2. Using HDMI to DVI-D adapters like this Adder VSCD11 should be fully compatible. The only two things I would note about using adapters is:
    1. In some cases lower quality adapters can interfere with pulling EDID data, and
    2. If you have any sources that require HDCP / CEC like bluray players or projectors, those schemes usually aren\'t supported by HDMI to DVI adapters.
  3. For 2 source computers in quad monitor setup you would need: (2x) CCHDKVM06 USB HDMI KVM Cables + (6x) HDMI cables i.e. C2G 56783.

The output on my minitower is 2xmini display port & 1 hdmi. Would this work with adapters? And what adapters are recommended?
Thank you for your inquiry,

The HDN-4Quad should indeed work with video adapters for your application.

While adapter compatibility would depend on the application a little bit, you should be able to use for example C2G 54300 Mini-DP to DP adapters with TrippLite P136-06N-H2V2LB DP to HDMI adapters to support the 2x Mini-DP output at up to 4K resolution. If you only need up to 1080p resolution support, you could also just use the NTI DPMM-HDF-CBL Mini-DP to HDMI adapters.
