ATEN Unveils DVI Cable KVM Switch with Audio

ATEN introduces the 2-Port DVI Cable KVM Switches CS62D (PS/2) and CS62DU (USB) of its PETITE product line. CS62D and CS62DU allow users to control two PS/2 or USB computers respectively from one DVI video console, and support independent switching of the KVM and Audio focus between the computers. Both models feature a Remote Selection Switch, which can be connected with CS62D/CS62DU to control port switching from the desktop while the KVM Switch itself is conveniently placed in an out-of-the-way location.

CS62D/CS62DU feature a compact design and built-in all-in-one cables (1.2m for the console; 0.6m and 1.2m for the computers). Users can switch between the computers via Hotkeys or the Remote Selection Switch. This small control unit connects to the KVM with a 1.8m cable. It provides a pushbutton for easy switching, two LEDs to indicate the selected port, and has a non-slip pad on its back for easily stabilizing the unit.

CS62D/CS62DU are fully compliant with the DVI-Digital specifications and Audio-enabled supporting microphones and speakers. With a full bass response they provide a rich sound experience for 2.1 surround sound systems. As the KVM and Audio focus can be switched independently, users can for example listen to sound files of one PC while playing video game or working with office applications on another PC.
CS62D and CS62DU offer an excellent video quality of up to 1600 x 1200 pixel at 60Hz (DDC2B) and support all major operating systems (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac—-for CS62DU). They integrate the Auto Scan function to monitor the operation of the connected computers and do not require extra power supply.
The recommended retail prices for CS62D / CS62DU are £44.60 and £53.40 respectively, not including VAT.
