As the demand for 8K displays increases in high-resolution graphics, video editing, and design work, the KVM market for integrated control of multiple systems is also expanding. Amid this trend, ATEN Korea has launched the 8K-supported dual-display KVM switches 'CS1942DPA' and 'CS1944DPA'.

ATEN Korea announced that it unveiled a new product in June and began supplying it domestically. This product was designed to meet the demand of professional users who want to efficiently operate multiple PCs in ultra-high resolution environments.

Based on 8K support, the new product supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDR10+. It offers maximum resolutions of 7680×4320@60Hz, 5120×2880@60Hz, and 4096×2160@120Hz. It also supports an ultra-wide aspect ratio, designed for work in high-resolution and high-refresh-rate environments.

The CS1942DPA features a 2-port configuration, while the CS1944DPA has a 4-port configuration, allowing them to control 2 and 4 PCs, respectively. Both models share identical key specifications, excluding the number of ports, and are designed to enable integrated management of a dual-display environment using a single keyboard and mouse.

Scalability has also been enhanced. By connecting two identical models via daisy-chain expansion, a quad-display environment can be configured. Additionally, the built-in USB 3.1 Gen1 hub supports 5Gbps data transfer, simplifying the peripheral sharing environment.

Support for operating systems Windows, macOS, and Linux was specified. Fields utilizing multiple high-resolution screens, such as designers, video producers, and CAD/CAM engineers, were presented as the primary environments for application.

Jeon Seong-hoon, Team Leader of the Marketing Team at ATEN Korea, stated that the product is tailored for ultra-high-resolution dual display environments and is a model designed to meet the demands of users who want to stably control multiple systems.
