CS1842 2-port USB 3.0 4K HDMI dual-display KVMP™ switch combines KVM switch with HDMI video interface and 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub.

ATEN CS1842 dual-display KVMP™ switch presents a valuable solution for desktop workstation with instant and effortless access to two HDMI interface computers from a single USB keyboard, mouse and two HDMI monitors. To meet users' needs, CS1842 is compliant with HDMI 2.0 standard and supports superior video quality up to 4K DCI (4096x2160 @ 60Hz), offering the most stunning and vivid visuals.

The HDMI interface provides 4K Ultra-HD @ 60Hz and 4K DCI @ 60Hz resolution that displays the most vivid high-definition images available while producing premium sound for music, movies, and games.

CS1842 allows users to access two HDMI computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and two HDMI monitors. CS1842 also supports quad-display by connecting two dual-display KVM switches.

In addition, with patented ATEN technology – Video DynaSync™, CS1842 provides optimized display resolution and accelerates switching between systems. Considering immediate data sharing, a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub delivers data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, allowing you to speed up operations and share USB peripherals efficiently.

CS1842For requirements of more displays to monitor, users can daisy-chain two CS1842 for up to four displays to multitask easily and process tremendous information. Besides, a remote port selector is available for quick and streamlined port selection apart from pushbuttons, hotkeys and mouse port switching.

In addition to the front panel pushbuttons, hotkeys, mouse port-switching, and remote port selector functionality, CS1842 offers serial commands to help switch ports and configure device settings.

A Power On Detection feature also ensures that if one computer is powered off, CS1842 will automatically switch ports to the next powered-on computer.

With a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub, CS1842 provides SuperSpeed 5 Gbps transfer rates to all connected USB peripherals. The unit's independent (asynchronous) switching feature, allows the KVM focus to be on one computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another computer. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub or stand-alone peripheral sharer – such as a print server, modem splitter, etc.

Featuring an unbeatable combination of ultra high 4K resolutions, a next generation USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and enhanced, user-friendly operations, CS1842 delivers the latest innovations in desktop KVM switching technology. As a feature-rich KVM switch, CS1842 is especially suitable for users who need to perform multiple tasks smoothly at CGI work, graphic design, video post production, and CAD engineering.
