About Aten CS1768

Be in control of your multi-computer setup with the CS1768 8-Port USB DVI KVM Switch. This high-performance device enables you to access and manage up to eight computers using a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and dual-monitor console supporting both DVI-I and VGA interfaces.

The CS1768 KVM Switch is designed for scalability, with the capability to be cascaded to three levels. This allows for the control of an impressive 512 computers when using up to 73 CS1768 units, all managed from the original single console. This feature makes it an ideal solution for large-scale IT operations and data centers.

One of the standout features of the CS1768 is ATEN's innovative Video DynaSync technology. This advanced feature optimizes display resolution, ensuring crisp and clear visuals across all connected computers.

The CS1768 offers three user-friendly methods to access any computer connected to the installation. You can choose from using the pushbutton port selection switches located on the unit's front panel, entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or selecting from menus provided by the on-screen display (OSD).

For added convenience, the CS1768 also includes an Auto Scan feature. This allows for automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers connected to the installation, sequentially.

The CS1768 goes beyond just visual and control support, it also provides multimedia keyboard support and is audio-enabled. This means you can connect two microphones to provide audio input to each of the computers. Plus, you can listen to the audio output of each computer on two sets of speakers, on a one-at-a-time basis.

In summary, the CS1768 8-Port USB DVI KVM Switch is a comprehensive solution for managing multiple computers, offering superior video quality, audio support, and user-friendly access methods.
