Overview
The Master View CS-1262 DVI KVM Switch improves on
previous KVM Switch designs by incorporating DVI video and
audio. Now, two computers can be accessed and controlled
from a single PS/2 keyboard, DVI monitor, and PS/2 mouse
console.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) supports both digital video input
(flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital
TVs and set-top boxes) and analog video input (traditional
monitors and TVs).
The CS-1262 is audio enabled. A single microphone can
provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can
listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of
speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis). With the CS-1262’s
independent (asynchronous) switching feature, you can even
have the KVM focus on one computer while the audio focus is
on the other.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug the cables into their
appropriate ports. There are no installation routines, and no
software to configure.
There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM/Audio
focus between the computers: manually, with the push button
port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and
with hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
Master View CS-1262 installation. Since a single console
manages all of the computers, the CS-1262 setup: eliminates
the expense of having to purchase separate console
components for each computer; saves all the space those extra
components would take up; saves on energy costs; and
eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in
constantly moving from one computer to another.

Cables
Only CS Custom cable sets specifically designed to work with
this switch may be used to link to the computers. For optimum
signal integrity and to simplify the layout, two high quality
cables sets are provided with this package.
Note: There are three types of DVI signals (DVI-I, DVI-A,
DVI-D). The cable type must match the type of signal
being used by the DVI source and the DVI display.

Installation
1. Make sure that power to each of the devices you
will be connecting up has been turned off. You
must unplug the power cords of any computers
that have the Keyboard Power On function.
2. Make sure that all devices you will be connecting up
are properly grounded.
Cable Connection
To set up your Master View CS-1262 installation, refer to the
installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in the
diagrams correspond to the steps, below), and do the following:
1. Plug your keyboard, DVI monitor, mouse, microphone, and
speakers into the Console Ports located on the unit’s rear panel.
2. Using a KVM cable set (provided with this package), plug
the DVI connector into any available DVI socket in the CPU
Port section of the switch, and plug the accompanying
keyboard, mouse, microphone and speaker connectors into
their corresponding sockets.
1. Use the end of the cable that has the shorter
Note:
connector leads - the end with the longer leads is
for plugging into the computer.
2. Be sure that all the plugs are in the same CPU Port
sockets (all in Port 1, all in Port 2, etc.).
3. The CPU Port sockets and cable plugs are color
coded and marked with an appropriate icon for
easy installation.
3. At the other end of the cable, plug the keyboard, DVI
monitor, mouse, microphone, and speaker connectors into
their respective ports on the computer.
4. Plug the power adapter that came with your switch into an
AC power source, then plug power adapter cable into the
switch’s Power Jack.

Auto Scanning
The CS-1262’s Auto Scan feature automatically switches the
KVM focus between the two computer ports at regular intervals.
This allows you to monitor the computer activity without having
to take the trouble of switching from port to port manually. See
the table below for details.

represents the desired number of seconds, as
follows:

Note: 1. While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard
and mouse functions are suspended - only Auto
Scan Mode compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks
can be input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order
to regain normal control of the console.
2. Although the video focus switches from port to port,
the keyboard, mouse, and audio do not switch. They
stay at the port they were on when Auto Scanning
started.
