ATEN TECHNOLOGIES CS19216 16-Port USB 3.0 4K DisplayPort KVM Switch

16-Port USB 3.0 DisplayPort KVM Switch

The ATEN CS19216 lets administrators manage up to 16 DisplayPort computers from a single keyboard, mouse and monitor. It supports 4K DCI resolution at 4096 x 2160 and 60 Hz refresh rate. Cascading allows control of up to 256 systems, while stacking up to eight units enables an eight-monitor multi-display setup. A built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub provides 5 Gbps peripheral sharing.

Suited for server rooms and multi-head workstations

IT teams who need to consolidate many DisplayPort hosts onto one console will benefit from the push-button, hotkey and OSD switching options. Video DynaSync and EDID Expert technologies maintain resolution and smooth transitions during port changes. The unit includes a rack-mounting kit for standard cabinet installation. Buyers who need more than 16 direct ports or require analog video input should look at other solutions.

4K DCI 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz video support

This resolution and refresh rate is the key specification that determines whether the switch matches the connected sources and display. If the target monitors or computers operate above this limit, the CS19216 will not pass the full signal. Verify that every source and the console display work within 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz before purchasing.
