Overview
The ATEN CS1944DP desktop KVM switch helps organize your desktop. Especially when managing a multimedia workstation at a large organization, CS1944DP provides you with instant access to two or four computers, all through a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and two DisplayPort monitors.
Advanced video support provides a better-defined DisplayPort connection with video resolutions up to 4K (4096 x 2160 / 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz). Incorporating dual display capability, you are allowed to enjoy a wider screen and easily switch between two or four DisplayPort systems. In addition, featuring a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub, the CS1944DP delivers unprecedented data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, allowing you to maximize multimedia operations.
Engineered to meet the ever-increasing demand for dual display, ultra-fast data transmission rates, and lossless 4K video resolution, the CS1944DP is specifically designed for where multitasking is needed such as design, financial trading, and video post production.

Note:
*DisplayPort Dual–Mode technology (DP++) does not require an active adapter for most single display setups. Active DisplayPort adapters are recommended if you are unsure of the video source's DP++ compatibility.
**MST (Multi-Stream Transport) requires either monitors that are capable of DisplayPort 1.2 daisy-chaining, or use of a powered DisplayPort MST Hub. A DisplayPort v1.1a display can be the last display in a DisplayPort v1.2 chain. The PC source must be DisplayPort 1.2 compliant
***HD audio through DisplayPort cannot be switched independently
