Configuration options
Your KVM2USB 3.0 device is ready to use right out of the box; however, there is support for additional configuration should you need it.
Changes to default capture settings can be applied using Epiphan’s Capture Config tool. For settings to persist after power cycling, please allow 5 seconds before disconnecting or restarting device.
These available settings are:
- input signal resolution
- aspect ratio preservation
- audio selector for multichannel inputs
- performance mode
- user modes
| Setting | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Preserve aspect ratio | Not used | KVM App always adds black bars to the sides or top and bottom of the viewport to preserve the aspect ratio of your target computer’s video output. |
| Audio selector for multichannel inputs | Not used | KVM2USB 3.0 doesn't support audio capture. |
| Performance mode | Enabled |
When enabled, KVM2USB 3.0 enters and exits host system suspend mode (i.e. sleep) faster by disabling support for the Suspend/U3 USB power state. This means KVM2USB 3.0 starts working again faster after your host wakes from sleep, but will consume more power while your hose is sleeping. Disable this setting if running off battery power and planning to use your host computer's sleep mode. |
| User modes | Clear |
You can specify up to three custom resolutions from the Capture Config Tool's User Modes tab. These user mode resolutions are added to KVM2USB 3.0's EDID. *On Windows, some video graphics cards may prevent this feature from working. |
To configure any of these options:
- Connect your KVM2USB 3.0 directly to a USB port on your host computer. (Using a dock or splitter is not supported.)
- Launch KvmApp.exe.
-
Click Options > Configuration tool..., the Capture config tool opens.
- If you have more than one KVM2USB 3.0 connected to your host computer, select the KVM2USB 3.0 you wish to configure.
- Select the Settings or User Modes tab and make your adjustments. For user modes, check the check box for the modes you wish to have active.
- Click Apply and wait at least 5 seconds before disconnecting KVM2USB 3.0 or closing the Capture Config Tool.
- Close the Capture Config Tool when you've completed your changes.
