The CS1798/CS17916 8/16-port USB HDMI KVM Switch is a multi-purpose appliance that consolidates access
and control of up to 8/16 HDMI computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor console.
The CS1798/CS17916 can be cascaded up to three levels – to control up to 512 computers (CS1798); or two
levels – up to 256 computers (CS17916) – all from a single console.
In addition the CS1798/CS17916 features multi-display functionality, which enables the use of standard USB
cables to stack up to eight switches in a multi-display installation where each computer is fitted with multiple
video cards. It allows you to contrast, analyse and monitor video output in convenient ways, substantially
simplifying the working environment.
Furthermore, the CS1798/CS17916 comes with ATEN’s on-screen display (OSD) function, which can access any
computer connected to the installation, it also offers OSD configuration backup/restore to save/back up the OSD
settings and restore them as needed.

output of each computer on two sets of speakers (on a one at- a-time basis).
