ATEN CS1762A 2-Port DVI KVM with USB 2.0 Peripheral
Overview
The ATEN CS1762A is a 2-port DVI KVM switch designed to consolidate control of two separate computers onto a single workstation. This unit allows you to share a DVI video monitor, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and two USB 2.0 peripheral devices between the connected computers. This is ideal for environments where managing multiple discrete systems is necessary, such as IT administration, development labs, or broadcast control rooms, streamlining your workspace by reducing hardware clutter.
Compatibility
This KVM switch is designed for systems utilizing DVI-I video interfaces and USB 2.0 connectivity for keyboard, mouse, and peripherals. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200, making it compatible with most standard business and workstation displays. The integrated 2-port USB 2.0 hub allows for the connection of devices like webcams, printers, or external storage, which are then switched along with the video, keyboard, and mouse. Audio input and output ports are also provided, enabling the switching of speaker and microphone signals.
Installation Notes
The CS1762A requires DVI-I cables for video and USB 2.0 cables for keyboard and mouse connections to each computer. Users must also connect the included power adapter to provide power to the switch and its USB 2.0 hub. The switch features Power On Detection, meaning it automatically switches to the next powered-on computer if one is shut down. HDCP support ensures compatibility with protected content.
