Introduction
Overview
The CS1942DP / CS1944DP 2/4-Port USB 3.0 4K DisplayPort Dual Display KVMP™ Switch takes a giant leap forward in KVM switch functionality by combining a Dual Display KVM switch with a DisplayPort video interface, 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and 2.1 channel audio support for rich bass in surround sound. DisplayPort technology provides a 4K UHD @ 60 Hz and 4K DCI @ 60Hz resolution that displays the most vivid high-definition images available while pumping out premium sound for music, movies, and games.
The CS1942DP / CS1944DP allows users to access two or four DisplayPort computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and two DisplayPort monitors. In addition to the front panel pushbuttons, Hotkeys, and the mouse port-switching functionality, the CS1942DP / CS1944DP offers serial commands to help switch ports and configure device settings. A Power On Detection feature also ensures that if one computer is powered off, the CS1942DP / CS1944DP will automatically switch ports to the next poweredon computer.
With a built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub, the CS1942DP / CS1944DP provides SuperSpeed 5 Gbps transfer rates to all connected USB peripherals. The unit’s independent (asynchronous) switching feature, allows the KVM focus to be on one computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another computer. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub or stand-alone peripheral sharer – such as a print server, modem splitter, etc.
Featuring an unbeatable combination of ultra high 4K resolutions, a next generation USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and enhanced, user-friendly operations, the CS1942DP / CS1944DP delivers the latest innovations in desktop KVM switching technology.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Note: 1. Mouse port switching is only supported under mouse emulation mode with a USB 3-button mouse wheel.
2.Slide the DCC switch to the s position to allow the KVM switch to receive RS-232 commands via an RJ-45-to-DB9 cable. Please refer to the CS1942DP_CS1944DP RS-232 Commands document.
3.HD audio through DisplayPort cannot be switched independently.
4.MST (Multi-Stream Transport) requires either monitors capable of DisplayPort 1.2 daisy-chaining, or use of a powered DisplayPort MST Hub. A DisplayPort v1.1a display can be the last display in a DisplayPort v1.2 chain. The PC source must be DisplayPort 1.2 compliant.
5.DisplayPort Dual-Mode technology (DP++) does not require an active adapter for most single display setups. Active DisplayPort adapters are recommended if you are unsure of the video source's DP++ compatibility.
6.PC keyboard combinations emulate Mac keyboards. Mac keyboards only work with their own operating system.

CS1942DP / CS1944DP User Manual
Requirements
Console
Two DisplayPort monitors capable of the highest possible resolution
A USB mouse
A USB keyboard
Microphone and speakers
Computers
The following equipment must be available on each computer:
Two DisplayPort ports
Four DisplayPort ports for Quad-Display (DCC mode)
A USB Type A port
Audio ports
Cables
To guarantee video quality, we recommend using only ATEN DisplayPort KVM cables which are certified by the VESA Compliance Program. Four (CS1942DP) or eight (CS1944DP) cables are provided with this package.
Note: 1. The quality of the display is affected by the quality of the cables. We recommend the total length from the source to the monitor to not exceed 6.5 meters (1.5 meters between the PC and the KVM switch. 5 meters between the KVM switch and the monitor). If you need additional cables, please contact your dealer to purchase ATEN approved cables.
2.If you are using DisplayPort cables that are only DP 1.1 compliant, make sure the DisplayPort EQ setting of the monitor is set to auto or DP 1.1.
