The Aten MasterView Pro
KVM switch products shown below are Aten's popular Audio KVM switches
with OSD. Shown below are the
MasterView Pro CS1016, the MasterView Pro CS1008, the MasterView Pro
CS1004, and
the MasterView Pro CS128.

Aten MasterView Pro CS1016
MasterView Pro
CS1016 unit can control up to 16 PCs. Up to 31 additional Master View
Pros can be daisy chained (for a total of up to 32 units), which means
that up to 512 PCs can all be controlled from a single
keyboard-monitor-mouse console. The MasterView Pro has dedicated
cascading ports so no CPU ports are lost when cascading or daisy
chaining units.
Standard KVM
switches on the market today have a single CPU to control all incoming
and outgoing mouse signals. This causes the majority of keyboard and
mouse problems you see with other KVM switches. Our Pro Series units
provide a dedicated CPU for each port so you have a much more stable
work environment. The keyboard and mouse signals can also be reset
from the unit without powering down the PC in case problems occur.
Setup is fast and
easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to
get involved in complex software installation routines or be concerned
with incompatibility problems. Since the MasterView Pro intercepts
keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with
all operating systems.
The MasterView Pro
provides three convenient methods to access any PC connected to the
system: using the port selection switches located on the MasterView
Pro’s front panel; entering Hot Key combinations from the keyboard;
and using the menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) feature.
A powerful Quick
View Scan Mode feature allows you to auto scan and monitor the
activities of all operating PCs on the installation one by one.
Responding to the growing use of multimedia in the work station space,
the MasterView Pro has been designed with built in microphone and
speaker support - a feature that will be increasingly essential over
time.
There is no better
way to save time and money than with a MasterView Pro installation. By
allowing a single console to manage all the attached PCs, the
MasterView Pro eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate
keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each PC as well as saving all the
space they would take up. It also eliminates the inconvenience and
wasted effort involved in constantly moving around from one PC to
another.
