The CM1164A allows for connection of up to 4 DVI computers and one DVI display, facilitating real-time monitoring of multiple video sources on a single multi-view window, with up to FHD (1920 x 1200) visual quality. Multiple video sources can be selected, switched and displayed simultaneously with independent keyboard and mouse control. This innovative Multi-View KVMP™ Switch is also equipped with a 2-port USB hub permitting each computer to access connected peripherals while the USB peripheral switching can be independent of the KVM focus, making desktop multitasking truly effortless and productive.
Versatile Display Modes
Even with just a single display, multi-sourced video data can be displayed in various display modes – Full Screen, Quad View, PiP (picture in picture), PbP (picture by picture), and PoP (picture on picture), improving operational efficiency without missing any important details.
Intuitive Boundless Switching
ATEN’s Boundless Switching features instant access and control to target any video source by allowing the mouse cursor to move across window borders boundlessly and seamlessly.
Daisy Chain & Cascade Support
With Daisy Chain Control (DCC) capability, the CM1164A can control 3 additional CM1164A units (up to 16 video sources) via a single console.
Furthermore, it can also be cascaded up to 2 levels by connecting additional 4 CM1164A units (up to 16 video sources) via a single console with video displayed in up to 4x4 multi-view mode.
Applications
The CM1164A Multi-View KVMP™ Switch is ideal for desktop operations in time critical scenarios that require real-time monitoring of multiple video sources and a prompt responsive approach, such as control-desk applications in broadcast or surveillance environments.
