I've tried a couple of devices over the past few years, but they both failed - or at least they appeared to fail, in subtle ways. I have two PC workstations and an Intel NUC box to connect to my 1920 x 1080 60Hz monitor. The PCs have DP outputs and I can connect the NUC via an adapter cable. I don't want to route sound through the switch, and of course it must not intercept control-key sequences but pass them on intact. Any advice or experiences welcome. -- Regards, Peter.
