USB vs LOOP vs Pro comparison
SuperKVM USB, USB LOOP, and USB Pro comparison—capture specs, loop-out, shared features, and how to choose.
USB vs LOOP vs Pro Answer first: All three USB KVM models share CH9329, Web OTA, and U disk direction switching. They differ mainly in HDMI input specs, USB capture output specs, and whether video loop out is present . Pick USB for typical 1080p control; LOOP/Pro when you need higher capture or a local looped monitor—Pro pushes capture output further.

Docs Shared workflow: USB KVM guide LOOP: USB LOOP Pro: USB Pro Troubleshooting: USB FAQ FAQ What actually differs across USB / LOOP / Pro? Shared features (CH9329, Web OTA, U disk direction switching, etc.) are the same. Differences are mainly HDMI input specs, USB capture output specs, and whether video loop out is present. When should I pick LOOP or Pro? Choose LOOP/Pro for higher capture resolution/frame rate or local monitor loop out. Pro pushes capture output further than LOOP; the base USB model is usually enough for 1080p workflows. Is the loop out monitor required? No. LOOP/Pro loop out is optional; the device still works as a KVM without a looped display.
