You're staring at four monitors, four keyboards, four mice, and still missing something on one of them. The CM1284 kills that juggling act. Plug in up to four computers, and you see all of them at once — quad view, picture-in-picture, side-by-side, full screen — on two console displays running 4K at 30 Hz. Need to jump between sources? Drag your cursor across the window. Done. No button-mashing, no hunting for a hotkey. Running a trading desk, an aviation ops room, or a medical monitoring bay where every second counts? This is the switch built for that. Daisy-chain three more CM1284 units off one console, cascade two levels deep, and you've got sixteen sources under independent keyboard-and-mouse control. One desk. Every machine. No more "which screen was that alert on again."
