Rose MPC-2U4V Review

The Rose MPC-2U4V is a 2-computer multi-platform KVM switch supporting mixed DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort sources.

This is the compact 2-computer version of Rose's multi-platform mixed-signal concept already represented by the MPB-4U2V in this catalog, same idea of accepting whatever video standard each computer happens to use, scaled down to two machines for a smaller mixed-hardware desk. Despite having half the computer inputs of the MPB-4U2V, it costs more, reflecting a different chassis tier within Rose's lineup rather than a simple stripped-down version.

Two Computers, Any Video Standard

Like its larger MPB-4U2V sibling, the MPC-2U4V accepts DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort sources on its inputs, letting two computers with different video connectors share one KVM setup.

A Different Chassis Tier

Despite fewer computer inputs than the MPB-4U2V, this model sits in a different, higher-tier product line within Rose's catalog, reflected in its higher price.

Comparison to Alternatives

Versus the Rose MPB-4U2V, that supports 4 computers at a lower price, worth it for a busier mixed-hardware desk. Versus the Rose MPC-4U4V, that scales this same platform to 4 computers, worth it if two inputs isn't enough.
