Product Overview
The ATEN CS1942ATC 2-Port USB 3.0 4K DisplayPort Dual Display KVMP™ Switch is specifically designed for Air Traffic Control (ATC) scenarios. It supports 2Kx2K resolution, ideal for radar monitoring, and enables continuous monitoring of flight information and mission-critical processes. With dual display capability, users benefit from an expanded view and seamless switching between two DisplayPort systems.
The Zero-Second Switch function provides near real-time switching without black screens, giving air traffic controllers immediate access to two USB/DisplayPort-interfaced dual display ATC computers for critical operations. Port switching is versatile, available via front panel pushbuttons, hotkeys, mouse control, RS-232 commands, or an optional remote port selector accessory.
Featuring two lockable DC jacks for power redundancy, the CS1942ATC ensures uninterrupted operation and constant availability for mission-critical applications, minimizing the risk of downtime. Patented ATEN technologies, Video DynaSync™ and EDID Expert™, combined with DisplayPort 1.2 and video resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz, deliver optimized display resolution with exceptional detail and clarity.
The CS1942ATC enhances safety and operational efficiency in Air Traffic Control Towers, Approach Control Rooms, and Area Control Centers.
