Expand and control DVI computers with two consoles, and convenient console control is possible with added OSD functions.
Supports high-quality video and audio, including up to 1080p, 4K@30Hz, and 2.1-channel stereo sound.

In a work environment, minor inconveniences can sometimes escalate into major issues that significantly reduce work efficiency. For instance, in a collaborative setting, workers using separate computers often struggle with file saving and sharing. What if two users could share a single work computer?

ATEN Korea (CEO Chen Shun-cheng, www.aten.co.kr, hereinafter ATEN), a company specializing in video surveillance solutions such as digital signage solutions and KVM switches, announced the launch of the CS261, a DVI computer sharing device that allows one computer to be shared using two consoles.

The biggest advantage of the CS261 is that it does not require complex network settings. It allows for efficient access to and sharing of all programs, files, and resources connected to the computer using only DVI and USB ports. Since one computer can be connected as two consoles, it is a suitable product for environments where multiple users work on a single task. It is particularly well-suited for small-scale collaborative work environments, such as small offices.

In addition, it supports excellent video quality up to 1080p, 1920x1200, 4K@30Hz, and supports 2.1-channel stereo audio and high-definition audio. Since it supports high-quality video and audio functions, it is expected to shine in content creation environments such as design and video.

It is also equipped with security, an essential consideration in a collaborative work environment. By supporting HDCP, a copyright protection technology, it minimizes virus infections that may arise from illegally copied Blu-ray content. Additionally, it allows you to block video and audio functions on unused consoles, eliminating the risk of work being exposed due to the operation of other consoles while you are using it.

It seamlessly supports compatibility between consoles. Because it supports EDID Mode™, users can select the optimal EDID settings for the best resolution across different monitors, enabling smooth operation of high-quality displays. Another major advantage is the support for the OSD (On Screen Display) function, which allows users to directly adjust the screen to optimize it for their work environment. This allows two consoles to access the connected computer more easily and quickly via the user interface.

Ahead of the launch of the CS261, an ATEN marketing representative stated, “The CS261 creates an easier and faster work environment with a convenient interface,” adding, “It goes beyond the simple function of a DVI computer sharing device to enhance the quality of the collaborative work environment and will serve as the perfect partner in the work environment.”
