4-Port PS/2-USB VGA/Audio KVMP Switch with OSD
The Aten CS1734B is a 4-port PS/2-USB VGA/Audio KVMP Switch combined with an OSD and 2-port USB 2.0 hub. As a KVM switch, it allows users to access four computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console. There are four methods to obtain instant access to any computer in your installation: Pushbuttons, Hotkeys, OSD, and mouse.
The CS1734B KVMP Switch improves on previous designs by giving the user a choice of either transferring keyboard and mouse data to the computers via a USB connection, or with the traditional PS/2 connection. If a USB connection is used, the CS1734B 's integrated two-port USB hub is available for each computer to access any peripherals connected to the hub on a one-at-a-time basis.
Allows independent switching of the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus
The CS1734B's asynchronous switching feature allows independent switching of the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, while a third has the audio focus. You can work on a spreadsheet on one computer, for example, while you print from a second computer at the same time, thus eliminating the need to purchase separate USB hubs or peripheral sharers.
Recognizing the importance of sound, the CS1734B is 2.1 channel surround sound audio enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
