You're juggling two or four machines, each with its own monitor pair, and your desk looks like a control tower. The CS1642A pulls all of that under one keyboard, one mouse, and one audio feed. Switch between computers in a keystroke. No cable yanking, no hunting for the right USB stick.
It handles 2560 × 1600 at 60 Hz over DVI Dual Link and 3D output up to 1920 × 1200 at 120 Hz, so your colour-critical work stays sharp. Need a second dual-screen setup? Daisy-chain another CS1642A for Quad-View across four computers from the same console.
Video DynaSync kills the boot-up flicker when you hop between ports, and power-on detection means if one machine drops, the switch moves to the next live PC automatically. No blank screen at 7:45 am.
Works with Windows, Linux, Mac, Sun, and FreeBSD. Sun and Mac keyboards are emulated so nothing feels off. DVI digital and analog both supported, HDCP compliant.
Add to cart and have your desk sorted before the next Monday
