Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO vs SIIG 4-Port HDMI 2.0 4K HDR Smart Console: which one fits your build
The Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO is the one to take for broadcast and security operations needing rack-mounted, RS232-controllable switching, though it is not built for single-desk users who only need to switch between two computers and buyers needing HDMI or DisplayPort instead of DVI/VGA. The same goes for control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. Avoid it for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. The SIIG 4-Port HDMI 2.0 4K HDR Smart Console suits buyers who want every cable included in the box and USB 3.0 peripheral speeds across the shared hub, though it is not the pick for budget two-PC setups (this is priced and specced for four) and DisplayPort-native source machines. It is equally the pick for Four-PC desks wanting full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth at 4K60 with HDR.
