ATEN 4-poorts USB 3.0 4K HDMI KVMP™-switch met audio-mixermodus

The ATEN CS1824 KVMP Switch enables control of four HDMI-equipped computers from a single USB keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor. It supports up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz) video resolution and is designed to improve multitasking efficiency for workflows that require multiple systems.

Advantages

The switch uses ATEN's Video DynaSync™ technology for improved display resolution and faster switching between connected systems. A default EDID mode ensures smooth power-up, consistent high-quality display and reduces monitor compatibility issues. Audio Mixer Mode allows mixing audio from any two connected computers so system alerts can be heard even when the KVM focus is on another computer. An integrated USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub provides data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for sharing USB peripherals and accelerating multimedia tasks.

Use Audio Mixer Mode to select or mix audio from two systems when simultaneous notification is required.

Recommendations

For best results with graphic design, CGI, or video post-production workflows, use high-quality HDMI cables certified for 4K @ 60Hz and keep graphics drivers up to date. If encountering display issues on startup, enable the default EDID mode to improve compatibility.
