Overview
The CS782DP takes a giant step forward from prior digital-
interfaced KVM models by offering DisplayPort 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.
Supporting the latest DisplayPort technology, the CS782DP
offers 4K UHD (3840 × 2160@60Hz) resolution for premium
image quality and vivid high-definition sound for music, movies
and games.
Another new feature of the CS782DP 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 CS782DP offers the latest mouse port-switching
function – simply double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse
to change ports.
Finally, the CS782DP's new Power on detection feature means
that if one of the computers is powered off, the CS782DP will
automatically switch to the other computer if powered-on.
Featuring an unbeatable combination of DisplayPort functionality,
USB 2.0 peripheral sharing convenience and enhanced user-
friendly operations, the CS782DP allows users to keep ahead of
the latest innovations in desktop multimedia and productivity.

Installation
1. Plug your keyboard and mouse into the console Keyboard/
Mouse ports located on the front side of the CS782DP. The
ports are labeled with icons with the mouse port on the top
and the keyboard port on the bottom.
Note: The console mouse connector is a USB 2.0 port and so
can accept any USB compatible peripheral. You can even
connect a hub to install multiple USB devices (this feature
may require an extra power adapter to be connected to
the USB hub and that the CS782DP’s Mouse Emulation
Mode be disabled). See Hotkey Summary Table, page 14
for information.
2. Plug your monitor into the DisplayPort port, located on the
front of the CS782DP. Power on the monitor.
3. Plug your speakers into the console audio port, located on
the front of the CS782DP (Optional).
4. Plug the USB, video and audio connectors of the KVM cables
into their respective PC ports on the CS782DP.
5. Plug the USB, video and audio connectors of the KVM cables
into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.
6. If you choose to use the remote port selector, plug its cable
into the remote port selector female jack, located on the front
of the unit.
7. Power on the computers.
1. Make sure that the power to any device that you
connect to the installation has been turned off. You
must unplug the power cords of any computers that
have the Keyboard Power On function.
2. Make sure that all devices you will be installing are
properly grounded.
