Question: Do you ship to Japan
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, due to freight costs, we typically do not ship to Japan. For product availability, we recommend you contact our partner: http://www.ysol.co.jp/. Additionally, we are not sure if this particular DisplayPort KVM is available in your area. You can contact the manufacturer at (http://www.aten.com/about/about_contact.php?cst=cu) to see if this product has a distributor near you.
Question: Hello, thinking about purchasing this switch to control a new trashcan mac pro and an older traditional mac pro - both sharing 2 monitors. We use a 4 button trackball - will this switch work? I see some mention of "only 3 button scroll wheel mouse" in emulation mode - please advise. Thank you.
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. We believe the reference to "3 button scroll wheel mouse" is in regards to the ability switch KVM targets via the mouse wheel. One should be able to use hotkeys or the front panel buttons to switch targets as well.
That being said, user environments vary widely and we could not 100% guarantee any particular set up would work. However, this KVM has the ability to pass mouse signals directly through, so there is a very good chance it will function as you desire. This switch also has a USB hub, which may also work for the trackball if the console port does not.
Question: Does the CS1944 have display emulation?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
While some DisplayPort to HDMI KVM switches (HDMI output for monitors) like the SmartAVI D2H-4P-Duo have implemented video emulation, as of 06/05/2018 we are not currently aware of a KVM manufacturer that has figured out a way to emulate DisplayPort to DisplayPort KVM Switches since DisplayPort uses a data signal instead of a video signal.
