This CS1788 Multi-view functionality allows you to contrast, analyse and monitor video output in convenient ways, substantially simplifying the working environment.

Furthermore, the CS1788 KVM comes with ATEN's on-screen display (OSD) function, which can access any computer connected to the installation, and also offers OSD configuration back up/restore to save/ back up the OSD settings and restore them as needed.
