Summary
Without a switch that correctly handles EDID signals (via DDC and suitable memory registers) end users will
continue to experience slow switching, fuzzy displays when computers don’t set themselves properly, or the user
will have to reboot or manually reset each computer once it’s brought up on the switch. Sometimes computers
will lose their EDID when the switch moves on to another channel, necessitating yet another round of manual
resolution resetting or rebooting. To avoid such potentially frustrating and time wasting events, including reboots
due to lost HDCP handshakes, select a model of KVM switch that fully and correctly supports EDID monitors and
graphics cards.
ATEN Models using Video DynaSync™
In response to the trend toward LCD monitors with EDID, including those with conventional HDB-15 (VGA) video
connectors, DVI connectors and HDMI connectors, ATEN has begun introducing KVM switches that incorporate
Video DynaSync™ technology and which are suitable for the individual desktop with a couple of computers,
programmer/software testing environments with 2 to 4 computers, and larger server farms with many computers.
The models listed here are among the fi rst of many to come.
The miniature CS62U, for example, is a two-computer KVM switch with integrated VGA, USB and Speaker
cables. It’s a good choice for the individual user who works with two computers, perhaps a desktop and a
notebook model, and wishes to share one monitor, keyboard and speaker system
CS62U
The CS1782 and CS1784 respectively support a dual-link DVI monitor and 2 or 4 computers, each with dual-
link DVI (i.e., resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 pixels at 60 Hz digital or 2048 x 1536 pixels in analog mode). These
are multiplatform switches (PC/Mac/Sun). They have a USB 2.0 hub built in as well mic and stereo speaker
connections, making them a good choice for graphic designers, programmers, labs and gamers.
