The Aten CS194x's documentation is very good and cater primarily for MAcs and then the other platform. Switching can be manual or using a unique keyboard sequence. There are some very small procedural matters once it's working. We COULD not enable the controller's apple expended keyboard and any USB devices that were plugged into teh apple cinema display amd then using the USB from the display's harness. USB wired must be used for the KVM function. The controller's (console) keyboard, tablet / mouse MUST be usb. works great! We can see the windows PC booting up. We replace dthe use of its DVI-D dual link wit hits DISPLAY PORT. Amazing to see a Dell PC using an Apple Thunderbolt Cienma display at 2560 x1900 resolution to its usb ports. and more amazing a DELL high end rendering PC with an Nvidea Geforce GTX 780 graphics card's DISPLAY PORT (not mini DP) to a male mini display port.a 2nd 2013 Macbook Pro's 2nd thunderbolt socket via a male-to-male mini display port cable.

The delay that Fravadona mentioned in an earlier is negligible. With two Apple Thunderbolt displays (most recent) using the mini display port cables to physically (electrically) switch to the machines below from the apple thunderbolt cinema display's harness an Aten CS1942 2-port USB 2.0 Dual View Mini DisplayPort KVMP™ Switch.Aten CS1944 4-port USB 2.0 Dual View Mini DisplayPort KVMP™ Switch and.Hi Michael and others in this long thread that stated that won't work., mateys I'll have to call you on this □. we intend to ring the Aten lads in Taipei later today (May 1st) and see what they say about the "Mac incompatibility " you ,mention. Windows, being the necessary evil it is for 3dsmax, rhino etc. so it's looking tricky and SCREEN SHARING is out of the question due to the latency with the wacom tablets etc. Hence we are looking to methods of also sharing these between more than one creative artist. ![]() Yes that's a very good point however we have no desk workspace for any more screens and kbds/tablets.
