What this switch does
The ATEN CS1794 is a 4-port HDMI KVM switch that lets one USB keyboard, mouse and monitor control four HDMI computers. It also shares two extra USB 2.0 peripherals and microphone or speaker audio across all connected systems. The unit is new and includes four 6 ft HDMI cables, a power adapter and a firmware upgrade cable.
Video limit that matters
Maximum supported resolution is 1080p or 1920 x 1200 over DVI-D single link, with HDMI 1.3a and HDCP compliance. Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio pass through, and Video DynaSync stores the console EDID to keep the display stable when switching. Auto-scan cycles between ports at intervals from 1 to 99 seconds.
Who should buy and who should not
Suits operators who need to manage four HDMI workstations or servers from a single desk without exceeding 1080p. Not for users who require 4K or higher resolutions, more than four computer ports, or USB 3.0 peripheral sharing.

Questions about this item
Will the 1080p headline resolution actually appear on my monitor without manual tweaking?
Yes — the unit stores each console monitor’s EDID through Video DynaSync so the correct 1080p mode is negotiated automatically when you switch between the four computers.
What does the HDMI 1.3a interface limit in everyday use?
The 1.3a link caps video at 1080p and DVI-D single-link at 1920 x 1200, while passing Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio bitstreams to the console speakers.
How much desk depth does the switch need including its cabling?
The chassis measures 10.4 in wide, 2.9 in deep and 1.8 in high; the bundled 6 ft cables add reach but no extra depth behind the unit.
