Aten CS1944DP 4-Port USB-C DisplayPort KVM Switch

The Aten CS1944DP is a 4-port, dual-display USB-C and DisplayPort KVM switch engineered to consolidate control of four computers across two monitors from a single keyboard, mouse, and display setup. Its architecture supports DisplayPort 1.2 video output with resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840×2160) at 60 Hz on both displays simultaneously, delivering the pixel density required by financial analytics platforms, CAD workstations, and broadcast production environments. Each of the four computer ports accepts a USB-C or DisplayPort video input alongside USB 2.0 peripheral sharing, enabling seamless switching between heterogeneous systems—including USB-C-native laptops and conventional DisplayPort desktops—without display re-negotiation delays.

The switch incorporates Aten's video DynaSync technology, which stores EDID information from the connected monitors and presents accurate display profiles to each source computer at all times, eliminating the blank-screen intervals and resolution resets that commonly occur when monitors are shared across switched systems. Audio switching is integrated, routing stereo audio and microphone signals in sync with the active KVM port. Peripheral emulation maintains constant USB keyboard and mouse connectivity to all connected computers, ensuring that background systems remain responsive to remote management tools and scheduled tasks even when focus is directed elsewhere.

Designed for high-density rack-adjacent or desktop deployments in trading rooms, network operations centers, and multi-system development labs, the CS1944DP supports both front-panel pushbutton switching and keyboard hotkey sequences for rapid port selection. A remote port selector can be connected for ergonomic placement away from the unit chassis. The device is bus-powered from the connected computers and requires no external power supply for standard operation, simplifying cable management in space-constrained environments where power outlet availability is limited.

Ideal for

• Financial trading desks requiring simultaneous visibility of multiple market-data systems across dual 4K monitors from a single operator station
• Network operations centers where engineers monitor and control four independent server or network management consoles without dedicated per-system peripherals
• Software development workstations running parallel builds on multiple operating systems, switching context between Linux, Windows, and macOS environments on demand
• CAD and engineering labs sharing high-resolution dual-display setups among multiple workstations to maximize hardware utilization without duplicating peripherals
• Broadcast and media production control rooms integrating USB-C laptops alongside DisplayPort workstations under unified keyboard and mouse control
• IT qualification and test labs where technicians validate hardware or software configurations across four discrete systems using a consistent dual-display reference setup
