Verdict

Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO AV4PRO

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.

Black Box KVS4-8001HX

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

The right pick when formal NIAP certification documentation is a hard procurement requirement for a single HDMI host.
