Two-port HDMI KVMP switch
The ATEN CS1792 lets one USB console command two HDMI computers while sharing two extra USB peripherals. It passes 1080p video and Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio through a single monitor connection. Hot-key and push-button switching plus an auto-scan timer of one to 99 seconds keep changeovers fast and hands-free.
Replaces separate KVM, USB hub and audio switch
Instead of juggling three boxes and their cables, this unit merges KVM control, a two-port USB 2.0 hub and HDMI 1.3a video switching with HDCP compliance. The jump makes sense when desk space is tight and you need to flip between two HDMI sources — PCs, media players or consoles — without unplugging speakers, microphone or keyboard and mouse.
Suits dual-PC desks and home-theatre setups
Video DynaSync remembers each computer’s display settings so the monitor never loses sync during a switch. Buyers who need more than two computer ports, resolutions above 1080p, or a dedicated DisplayPort or USB-C link should look at larger or newer KVM models.

Questions about this item
How much desk depth does the 8.1-inch wide CS1792 need?
The switch measures 8.1 inches wide by 2.9 inches deep by 1.8 inches high and weighs 1 lb, so it fits on a shallow shelf or desk corner.
Which cables must be plugged in first to avoid a no-signal boot?
Connect each computer’s HDMI, USB and audio cables to the switch, then attach the console monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers before powering on the 5.3 VDC adapter.
When should the firmware upgrade cable be used?
Use the supplied firmware upgrade cable only when ATEN releases a new firmware version to add compatibility or fix bugs; routine operation does not require it.
