ATEN's CS1782 Dual Link DVI KVMP switch sets a new standard in KVMP functionality by adding three major innovations. Display technology reads and remembers your monitor's optimal display settings (E-DDC), thereby eliminating display problems when simultaneously booting or switching between computers. With support for resolutions up to 3840 x 2400 you can enjoy the full capabilities of your wide screen monitor. 7.1 sound support provides a fully immersed audio experience for listening pleasure, gaming, or audio editing. In keeping with the proliferation of high speed devices, the CS1782 provides two USB 2.0 peripheral ports for sharing USB devices between your computers. A powered USB hub may be attached for added expansion. Switching computers is merely a matter of pressing a manual button, or by a few Hotkey strokes entered directly from the keyboard. The hotkeys allow for independently switching audio, KVM focus, and peripherals (start a big print job or back up on one computer, play a game on the other while waiting for it to finish). Setup is as easy as disconnecting your existing cables and connecting the CS1782. There is no software to install, and it is compatible with virtually all USB compliant operating systems. Save money time and space, share one monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker system, and set of peripherals between two computers. No more using the "wrong" keyboard or mouse, no more moving cables between computers, not to mention the number of speakers involved. The CS1782 comes complete with all cables including 7.1 audio, it supports Apple 20", 23" and 30" Cinema Displays, Apple special function keys, and has an unprecedented 7 year limited warranty. NOTE : The KVM will support both DVI-I and DVI-D, however the supplied video cables are DVI-D they will not work with VGA to DVI adapters, third party DVI-I cables or a VGA to DVI converter must be used.
