Which should you buy, Adder ALIF1104T or Adder AV4PRO-DVI-TRI?

The Adder ALIF1104T suits enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments across many rooms and HDMI workstations needing centralized network-routed access, though it is not built for small single-room point-to-point extension needs and DisplayPort or 4K/5K workstation resolutions. The Adder AV4PRO-DVI-TRI is the one to take for trading desks running triple-monitor layouts across 4 machines and financial and analyst workstations needing DVI triple-head switching, though it is the wrong buy for single or dual-monitor desks (a cheaper AV4PRO variant fits better) and buyers needing a fourth monitor head (see the QUAD variant). Our rating of the Adder ALIF1104T (8/10): A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem. Our rating of the Adder AV4PRO-DVI-TRI (8/10): A precise fit for triple-monitor, 4-computer trading and analyst desks, priced accordingly.
