The BG-8K-KVM21A’s full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ensures uncompressed 8K and high-frame-rate 4K signals are delivered without chroma subsampling or visual artifacts, preserving image fidelity throughout the workflow. Support for RGB and YCbCr 4:4:4, 12-bit color depth, and advanced HDR formats allows editors and colorists to evaluate accurate color, contrast, and luminance in real time.
EDID emulation per input maintains consistent resolution and refresh settings for each workstation, eliminating display renegotiation when switching systems. This results in uninterrupted timelines, stable grading sessions, and precise visual monitoring across multiple production machines.
Designed for operational environments, the 2x1 KVM architecture enables seamless control of two computers through a single workstation without compromising video or USB performance. Near-zero video and USB latency ensures instant operator response, while USB 3.0 peripheral sharing supports high-speed devices such as cameras, storage, and control interfaces.
Virtual interaction technology minimizes downtime by automatically waking connected systems during switching, improving efficiency in time-sensitive operations. With RS-232 and IR control, the unit integrates easily into centralized control systems for automated and dependable system management.
The BG-8K-KVM21A supports 4K at 120Hz/144Hz and 1080p at 240Hz, delivering smooth, ultra-responsive visuals required for competitive gaming and simulation environments. Advanced HDMI 2.1 features such as VRR, ALLM, QFT, and QMS reduce latency, eliminate screen tearing, and optimize frame timing for fluid motion.
Near-zero-latency switching ensures immediate input response when moving between systems, maintaining immersion and precision. Multiple control options - including hotkeys, front-panel buttons, and IR remote - allow fast, intuitive switching without disrupting gameplay or simulations.
