Overview
The Master View CS-1262 improves on previous KVM Switch
designs by incorporating DVI video and audio. Now, two
computers can be accessed and controlled from a single PS/2
keyboard, DVI monitor, and PS/2 mouse console.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) supports both digital video input (flat
panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs and
set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional monitors and
TVs).
The CS-1262 is audio enabled. A single microphone can provide
audio input to each of the computers, and you can listen to the
audio output of each computer on a single set of speakers (on a
one-at-a-time basis). With the CS-1262's independent
(asynchronous) switching feature, you can even have the KVM
focus on one computer while the audio focus is on the other.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their
appropriate ports. There are no installation routines, and no
software to configure.
There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM/Audio
focus between the computers: manually, with the port selection
pushbuttons located on the unit's front panel; and with hotkey
combinations entered from the keyboard.
Thereis nobetterway tosave time andmoneythan witha Master
View CS-1262 installation. Since a single console manages all of
the computers, the CS-1262 setup: eliminates the expense of
having to purchase separate console components for each
computer; saves all the space those extra components would
take up; saves on energy costs; and eliminates the
inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving
from one computer to another.

Auto Scanning:
The CS-1262’s Auto Scan feature automatically switches the
KVM focus between the two computer ports at regular intervals.

take the trouble of switching from port to port manually. See the
table below for details.:
Note: 1. While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard
and mouse functions are suspended – only AutoScan
Mode compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks can be
input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain
normal control of the console.
2. Although the video focus switches from port to port, the
keyboard, mouse, and audio do not switch.They stay at
the port they were on when Auto Scanning started.
Hotkey Action
[ScrollLock] [ScrollLock]
[A] [Enter] Starts Auto Scan Mode. The KVM focus switches from port to port at 5 second
intervals.
[1, 2, 3, or 4] Once Auto Scan Mode begins, the scan
interval can be changed at any time by
keying in the number that represents the
desired number of seconds, as follows:
1 = 3 seconds
2 = 5 seconds
