Two-computer DisplayPort control

The ATEN CS1912 is a 2-port KVMP switch that lets one USB keyboard, mouse and DisplayPort monitor operate two computers. It adds a USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and 2.1-channel audio so peripherals and sound stay at the console while the video source changes.

Ideal for dual-system desks.

Editors, CAD users and anyone juggling two DisplayPort PCs with a single 3840 x 2160 display will benefit from push-button, hotkey and mouse switching plus independent USB focus. Buyers needing simultaneous multi-monitor output, higher than 30 Hz refresh at 4K, or more than two connected computers should look elsewhere.

Maximum video resolution 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz

The switch passes DisplayPort signals up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, which determines whether a given monitor and GPU combination will work without scaling or frame-rate loss. Exceeding this resolution or refresh rate is not supported by the hardware.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own DisplayPort cables to connect two computers to the CS1912?

The package includes two DisplayPort cables, two USB 3.0 cables and two audio cables, so no extra cables are required for a basic two-computer setup.

Can I keep a USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse on the console ports while the CS1912 runs at USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds?

Yes, the two USB Type-A console ports accept USB 2.0 devices; they will operate at USB 2.0 speeds while the hub itself supports 5 Gbps for the peripheral ports.

How can I verify the CS1912 is delivering 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz after I connect everything?

Check the monitor's on-screen information or the OS display settings to confirm 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, and observe the orange On Line/Selected LEDs showing the active computer.
