ATEN Technology today announced the launch of its new 8-Port USB 3.0 4K DisplayPort KVM Switch (CS19208) and 16-Port USB 3.0 4K DisplayPort KVM Switch (CS19216). The solutions can access and control up to eight or 16 DisplayPort computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and monitor console. With its dual-interface console, users can choose between DisplayPort/HDMI video output supporting high video quality up to 4K DCI (4096×2160 @ 60Hz), presenting crystal-clear visuals.

These devices can be cascaded to two levels to control up to 128 or 256 computers from a single console. Furthermore, they support multidisplay function by stacking up to eight units to compare and analyze information on eight monitors at most, which substantially streamlines the working environment.
