Overview
The CS692 USB HD Audio/Video KVM Switch links two HD
audio/video-enabled PCs or devices to a single USB keyboard,
USB mouse, and HD audio/video display console. The CS692
Switch takes a giant step forward from prior cable KVM models in
the Petite series, by offering full HD audio/video functionality,
USB 2.0 peripheral sharing (via a USB hub attached to the USB
mouse port), and a firmware upgrade function that allows you to
keep up with latest available versions.
Another new feature of the CS692 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 CS692 offers the latest mouse port-switching
function – simply double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse
to change ports.
Furthermore, the CS692 features ATEN’s patented Video
DynaSync technology, which eliminates boot-up display
problems and optimizes resolution when switching between
ports.
Finally, the CS692'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 HD audio/video
functionality, USB 2.0 peripheral sharing convenience, gaming
keyboard support, and enhanced user-friendly operations, the
CS692 allows users to keep up with the latest innovations in
desktop multimedia applications.
