Sixteen machines and you want one keyboard, one mouse, one monitor doing the work. The CS18216 handles it. USB 3.0 throughout, 4K DCI at 60Hz on the HDMI output, and a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub so peripherals don't bottleneck when you switch. Pushbuttons, hotkeys, RS-232 commands, or the redesigned OSD — pick whichever switching method fits your workflow. Two-level password auth means the new starter isn't poking around the production server. Cascade two levels and you're at 256 systems from that same console
