The ATEN HDMI KVMP Switch CS1822 is a high-performance 2-port KVM solution that allows users to control two HDMI computers using a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and HDMI monitor. Designed for professionals who work with multiple systems, it combines outstanding 4K video quality, USB 3.0 peripheral sharing, and advanced audio features to improve productivity while reducing desktop clutter.

Supporting 4K UHD (3840 × 2160 @ 60 Hz) and 4K DCI (4096 × 2160 @ 60 Hz) resolutions, the ATEN HDMI KVMP Switch CS1822 delivers crystal-clear visuals for demanding applications such as graphic design, CGI production, video editing, engineering, and multimedia content creation.

This allows users to monitor multiple systems simultaneously and receive important notifications even when another computer is currently selected as the active KVM source.

The CS1822 also offers flexible switching methods through front-panel push buttons, keyboard hotkeys, mouse switching, and RS-232 commands. Independent switching for KVM, USB peripherals, and stereo audio provides additional convenience for professional workflows.
