Got my 8KSW21-KVM last May and have been loving it. The reliable PC wake up feature is missing on all the KVMs I tried before buying this one, and is a godsend.

Feature recommendation
How about automatic switch to active HDMI input?
Some may not want this so there could be an enable / disable switch via a hardware toggle or via software.

Product recommendation
This one is a bit niche, but I have quite a collection of retro game consoles and as you will know, they look awful on a modern 4K screen.

So how about incorporating some upscaling logic into your KVM switches?
Bonus if you allow analogue input (maybe for a Pro model)

These are the gold standard in upscalers for this purpose (in case you need some inspiration :grinning: )

Website recommendation
Have a unified sign in between main site and community one please.

Thanks for making great products.

Thanks! Happy to see the first advice :dizzy: in this post.

To clarify, may I know more about “automatic switch to active HDMI input”? Are you talking about switching to a PC and automatically activating it while it’s in sleep?

About the scaler, I will pass it on to our product team. Generally what resolution there is for retrogaming?

You’re right. We can make a different LOGO to differentiate.

Hi @Cecilia

So for automatic HDMI switch, I mean for scenarios like when the two HDMI sources (e.g. a PC and a Laptop), are turned on, but source one is currently active via the KVM.

The user finishes using source one and shuts it down / power it off.

Now only source two is producing a HDMI signal, and it would be cool if the KVM could automatically switch to it.

Regarding the retrogaming, if you look at the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era of 2005 / 2006, these machines were sold as HD machines targeting 1080p resolutions, but both were not powerful enough to really attain this so games were often lower resolution.

A 1080p or 1080i signal looks bad enough when upscaled to 4K on a new TV, but things get worse when the games use a lower resolution (likely).

Thanks.
