MLEEDA four-computer HDMI switch driving two screens, with RS232 control review

A four-computer HDMI switch carrying two screens for each machine, switchable three ways including over a serial line, whose packing list opens with a different maker name.

The bottom line The largest desk on this shelf, and the only unit here that can be driven over a serial line. The audio named in the title and never described, and the maker name in the packing list, are the two questions to put to the seller.

On the listing

A switch letting up to four computers share two screens and four USB devices, in an extending arrangement giving two different pictures or a mirroring one giving two identical pictures; EDID simulation storing the native resolution and refresh rate of the screen so that window positions survive a change of machine; a maximum of 4K at 60 Hz, backwards compatible with 4K at 30 Hz, 2560 by 1440 at 120 Hz and below; four USB 3.0 sockets at 5 Gbit/s, backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1; three switching methods, panel buttons numbered 1 to 4, a wired remote of 1.5 m and RS232 at 115200 baud, with an indicator light; compatibility given as Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS for desktop, laptop and small-form machines; a note that the supplied 12 V 2 A supply must be connected; and a box containing the switch, four USB 3.0 leads of 1.5 m, a wired remote, the supply and a manual, with a one-year warranty.

Four machines, two screens

Nothing else here covers as much desk. The extending arrangement gives two different pictures, the mirroring one gives the same picture twice, and both are stated rather than left to be discovered. On a two-screen desk this is the whole reason to buy a switch rather than replug leads.

Switched over a wire, or over a serial line

Buttons, a remote, and RS232 at 115200 baud. The third is the unusual one, and it is what puts this unit in a meeting room or on a control desk where the switching is done by a system rather than by a hand.

The word in the title that never comes back

Audio appears once, in the title, among the things shared. No socket type, no channel count, no sentence saying whether it changes with the machine. Everything else on this page is described twice over; this is described once and never explained.

The name in the packing list

The last bullet opens the contents with a maker name that is not the one on the title. It may be a manufacturing label and it may be a mistake, and nothing else on the page explains it.

Before ordering

Ask two questions: which socket carries the audio, and why the packing list names a different maker. Both answers are short and neither is on the page.

Where it holds up, and where it stops

Strengths

  • Two screens for each of four machines, with a choice between an extending and a mirroring arrangement, which is the largest desk any switch here covers
  • Three switching methods, one of which is a serial line, so the unit can be driven by a control system rather than by hand
  • The EDID simulation holds the resolution and rate of the screen, and the listing states that window positions survive a change of machine

Compromises

  • Audio is named in the title and described nowhere, so what socket it uses and whether it follows the video is unknown from the page
  • No video lead is in the box, and a four-machine two-screen desk wants a good many of them
  • The packing list in the last bullet opens with a maker name that is not the one selling the product, which is a line to have explained before ordering

Specifications

Port countFour — stated in the title and in the first bullet as up to four computers
Maximum resolution4K — stated in the title and in the third bullet as a maximum of 4K at 60 Hz, backwards compatible with 4K at 30 Hz, 2560 by 1440 at 120 Hz and below. It is the ceiling of the switch alone; the computers and the screens each impose their own
Refresh rate60 Hz at 4K, with 120 Hz named at 2560 by 1440 — stated in the third bullet as pairs, which is the form in which the two figures can be read together
Video connector typeHDMI — stated in the title and in the first bullet, with two screens at the output
Screens per computerTwo — stated in the first bullet, where four machines share two screens in either an extending or a mirroring arrangement
USB port countFour — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet as four USB 3.0 sockets for a keyboard, a mouse and other peripherals
USB generationUSB 3.0, quoted at 5 Gbit/s and backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 — stated in the fourth bullet
Switching methodThree — panel buttons numbered 1 to 4, a wired remote of 1.5 m, and RS232 at 115200 baud, stated in the fifth bullet, with an indicator light showing the active machine
Audio supportNamed in the title among the shared connections, alongside the USB peripherals and RS232, and described nowhere else — no socket type, no channel count, and no bullet saying whether audio follows the video when machines are changed
Cables suppliedFour USB 3.0 leads of 1.5 m, a wired remote of 1.5 m, a power supply and a manual — stated in the eighth bullet, together with a one-year warranty; no video lead is named among the contents

The questions that come up before an order

What is RS232 switching for on a KVM?

It lets a control system change machines over a serial line instead of a person pressing a button. In a meeting room or a control desk that means the switch can be driven from the same panel as everything else. This listing gives the baud rate as 115200, which is the figure a control system needs to be told.

What does EDID simulation hold?

The identity of the screen, including its native resolution and refresh rate, so that each computer continues to believe a display is attached when the switch is pointed elsewhere. That is what stops windows being rearranged on every change of machine, and this page states it as the reason for the feature.
