CS1768
8-Port USB DVI KVM Switch
The CS1768 8-port USB DVI KVM Switch is a control unit that allow access and control of up to 8 computers
from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and dual-monitor (DVI-I and VGA) console. It can be cascaded to
three levels – allowing up to 73 CS1768s to control up to 512 computers – all from the original single
console. In addition, the CS1768 comes with ATEN's new Video DynaSync technology, which optimizes
display resolution.
There are three convenient methods to access any computer connected to the installation: (1) using the
pushbutton port selection switches located on each unit's front panel; (2) entering Hotkey combinations
from the keyboard; and (3) selecting from menus provided by the on-screen display (OSD). An Auto Scan
feature also permits automatic scanning and
monitoring of the activities of all computers
running on the installation one by one.
The CS1768 provides multimedia keyboard
support and is audio enabled. Two
microphones can provide audio input to each of
the computers, and you can
listen to the audio output of each computer on
two sets of speakers (on a one-at-
a-time basis).
