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.

Emerald (Black Box) Emerald EMD2000PE-T

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Pay the PoE premium only if running separate power to the transmitter location is genuinely inconvenient — otherwise the SE-T does the same job for less.
