5.3 Auto Scan Mode

In Auto Scan Mode, the KVM switch cycles through all connected active inputs at a user-defined interval (e.g., 5 seconds to 1 hour). This is useful for monitoring multiple systems.

5.4 EDID Emulation

The built-in EDID emulators ensure that your computers always receive correct display information, preventing issues like desktop icon rearrangement, screen flicker, or resolution changes when switching between inputs or when a computer is disconnected.

Ma thachras tu ri duilgheadasan leis an suidse KVM agad, thoir sùil air na duilgheadasan agus na fuasglaidhean cumanta a leanas:

  • Gun taisbeanadh/comharra:
    • Ensure all HDMI and USB cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the computers/monitor.
    • Verify the KVM switch is powered on and the correct input is selected.
    • Try connecting the computer directly to the monitor to confirm the computer's video output is functional.
    • Thoir sùil a bheil an monitor air a shuidheachadh chun an stòr cuir-a-steach ceart.
  • Meur-chlàr/Luchag gun fhreagairt:
    • Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated K/M USB ports on the KVM switch.
    • Try connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer to verify functionality.
    • Some specialized gaming or multimedia keyboards/mice may require pass-through mode. Refer to the full manual for enabling this feature.
  • Slow Switching Time:
    • Switching times can vary depending on the connected devices and their display handshake processes. High-resolution or high-refresh-rate devices (e.g., PS5 at 4K 120Hz HDR) may experience longer switching delays (up to 5 minutes in some cases).
    • For other devices, typical switching time is 5-10 seconds.
  • Display Issues with High-Performance Devices (e.g., PS5):
    • Devices requiring 4K 120Hz HDR VRR may be particularly sensitive to HDMI signal integrity.
    • Ensure high-quality HDMI 2.1 certified cables are used.
    • Consider simplifying the setup by connecting the KVM switch directly to the display, rather than through an A/V receiver, if experiencing signal drops or resolution degradation.
    • If green lines or signal loss occur, try adjusting display settings on the source device to a lower resolution or refresh rate as a test.
  • Audio Issues (e.g., Dolby Atmos):
    • This KVM switch may not support certain advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Verify audio compatibility with your specific setup.
  • Control Software Issues:
    • If experiencing difficulties with official control software for advanced settings (e.g., disabling the beep sound), check the TESmart website for updated software or drivers.
    • Some users have reported success with third-party applications for controlling TESmart KVM switches; however, use such software at your own discretion.
