Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Based on a quick review of their downloaded doc - the answer is NO. It seems to have a non-standard pinout

Thanks for that, I never thought of looking for the pinout in the manual
After looking at the uMite advanced features, I "Think" This one should work perfectly?

Yes it should. The only issue is that it seems to use the 3.3V supply to drive the backlight and that takes a lot of power.

Compare this one which has a second power pin for a 5V supply which is used for the backlight

No big deal but may be worth thinking about

Hallo experts,

I would like to use my monitor for both HDMI (from my PCs) and also for the CMM2-VGA via my KVM switch.

My KVM switch has HDMI video inputs, so a VGA-HDMI converter could be connected between KVM switch and the CMM2.

Has anyone tried connecting a CMM2 to such a KVM switch (HDMI inputs) via a VGA-HDMI adapter for using only one monitor? Does this makes sense, or are there any reasons not to do so?

Wolfgang

Wow, talk about reviving a very old thread.
You might have better luck starting a new topic.

BTW, I have had great success with VGA-HDMI adapters but have not tested them with a KVM switch.

Yes, I agree - A thread this old(10 and a bit YEARS!), should not have been added on to.
The member should really have started a new thread.    

@ Wolfgang - can you please copy your question into a new thread.

I will lock this thread, cos we really don't want new posts showing up on a ten year old thread!
