Introduction

Overview

The CS1822 / CS1824 2/4-Port USB3.0 4K HDMI KVMP™ Switch combines

KVM switch with HDMI video interface and 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub. The

HDMI interface provides 4K UHD @ 60 Hz and 4K DCI @ 60Hz resolution

that displays the most vivid high-definition images available while producing

premium sound for music, movies, and games.

The CS1822 / CS1824 respectively allows users to access two or four HDMI

computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and HDMI monitor. In

addition to the front panel pushbuttons, Hotkeys, and the mouse port-switching

functionality, the CS1822 / CS1824 offers serial commands to help switch

ports and configure device settings. ATEN default EDID Mode is available for

smooth power-up, high-quality display and eliminates monitor compatibility

issue. A Power On Detection feature also ensures that if one computer is

powered off, the CS1822 / CS1824 will automatically switch ports to the next

powered-on computer.

With a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub, the CS1822 / CS1824 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. For further customization,

the CS1822 / CS1824 provides audio mixing modes where you can combine

up to two audio sources as your audio output.

Featuring an unbeatable combination of ultra high 4K resolutions, a next

generation USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and enhanced, user-friendly operations, the

CS1822 / CS1824 delivers the latest innovations in desktop KVM switching

technology.
