Overview
The CS682 takes a giant step forward from prior cable KVM
models in the Petite series, by offering DVI functionality, USB 2.0
peripheral sharing (via a USB hub attached to the USB mouse
port), a rich bass experience for 2.1 surround systems, and a
firmware upgrade function that allows you to keep up with latest
available versions.
Another new feature of the CS682 is the implementation of a
remote port selector. This means that you can now control port
switching from the desktop while the switch itself can be placed
in a convenient, out-of-the-way, location. Also, in addition to new
hotkeys, the CS682 offers the latest mouse port-switching
function – simply double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse
to change ports.
Furthermore, the CS682 features enhanced Video DynaSync
technology, which eliminates boot-up display problems and
optimizes resolution when switching between ports.
Finally, the CS682's new Power on detection feature means that
if one of the computers is powered off, switch will automatically
switch to the other powered-on computer.
Featuring an unbeatable combination of DVI functionality, USB
2.0 peripheral sharing convenience, and enhanced user-friendly
operations, the CS682 allows users to keep up with the latest
innovations in desktop multimedia applications.
