Four-port HDMI KVM with multi-view

The ATEN CM1284 is a desktop KVM switch that connects four computers to a single console with dual HDMI outputs. It supports video resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 30 Hz and provides eight USB ports for keyboard, mouse and peripheral sharing. Two local users can operate the switch simultaneously for collaborative monitoring.

Installation uses standard HDMI and USB cables

Each computer connects through one HDMI and two USB cables supplied in the package. The switch also includes two RJ-45 ports for daisy-chaining up to three additional CM1284 units, expanding control to sixteen sources. Binding the mouse across windows enables instant source switching without hotkeys or front-panel buttons.

Handles four 4K sources

One console output renders Quad View, Picture in Picture, Picture by Picture or Picture on Picture layouts while the second output shows a single source full-screen. The 30 Hz refresh ceiling limits fluidity for high-frame-rate content. Daisy-chaining adds latency and cable length that may affect signal integrity beyond the second level.

  • Switch instantly by moving the mouse cursor across screen boundaries

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the CM1284 is switching sources correctly after connecting four computers and two displays?

Move the mouse cursor across the screen boundaries; Boundless Switching will instantly change the active computer. Verify both console outputs show the expected modes — one in Quad View, PiP, PbP or PoP and the other in Full Screen — at up to 4096 x 2160 resolution.

Which cables and accessories are included with the CM1284 and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the CM1284 switch and four USB HDMI cable sets for the computer connections. You will need to supply two HDMI cables for the console monitors, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse and any additional USB peripherals you want to share across the eight USB ports.

Should I choose a single CM1284 or cascade multiple units to reach 16 video sources?

One CM1284 handles four computer connections. Daisy Chain Control lets you link up to three extra CM1284 units from one console, and cascading two levels supports a total of 16 sources. Select the single unit for four sources; add more units only if you need eight, twelve or sixteen simultaneous inputs.
