Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P vs Lindy 2 Port HDMI 4K60 USB 2.0 & Audio: which one fits your build
The Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P is the one to take for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments centered on DVI video and facilities already using Adder's ADDERLink Infinity Manager, though it is not built for multi-monitor workstations needing dual-head DVI, where the ALIF2112T fits better and HDMI or DisplayPort-based workstations. The same goes for buyers wanting a complete matched transmitter/receiver pair rather than individual nodes. It is not the one for small single-room extension budgets, where the Emerald EMD2000PE-T costs roughly half as much. The Lindy 2 Port HDMI 4K60 USB 2.0 & Audio suits users watching HDCP 2.2 protected content from either source and compact desks where a bus-powered switch matters, though it is not the pick for anyone needing USB 3.0 throughput through the hub and DisplayPort-only source machines. It is equally the pick for Two-PC setups that want full 4:4:4 color at 4K60 over HDMI.
