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.

SmartAVI SDVN-8D 8-Port Dual-Head Secure KVM

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A practical 8-system dual-head secure switch for DVI-I watch floors that don't require CAC switching.
