FAQs
Does the Aten CS22H require an external power supply?
The CS22H is bus-powered and does not require an external power adapter for basic operation. However, an optional USB Micro-B power cable (sold separately) can be connected for higher-power USB peripherals.
What is 4K DCI resolution and why does it matter?
4K DCI (4096 x 2160 pixels) is a cinema-grade resolution standard offering superior clarity and detail compared to standard 4K (3840 x 2160). At 60Hz, it delivers fluid motion and professional-quality visuals ideal for design, video editing, and financial trading applications.
Can I use the CS22H with Mac and Linux systems?
Yes. The CS22H is multiplatform compatible and supports Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. No drivers are required—simply connect via USB and HDMI.
How do I switch between computers using the CS22H?
Simply press the built-in remote port selector to instantly switch between the two connected HDMI computers. Both systems remain powered and ready for immediate use.
What is USB peripheral sharing and how does it work?
USB peripheral sharing allows you to use the same USB keyboard, mouse and other peripherals across both connected computers without unplugging. Data transmission is seamless between systems.
Is the CS22H suitable for dual-monitor setups?
The CS22H controls one HDMI monitor that switches between two computers. For dual-monitor environments, you would need to connect a second display to one of the computers independently, or consider a multi-port KVM solution.
What cables are included with the CS22H?
The CS22H features an all-in-one integrated cable design consolidating keyboard, video and mouse connections. An optional USB Micro-B power cable for external power is sold separately.
