About
Pre-4K-era hardware (WUXGA 1920x1200@60Hz max over an unspecified HDMI channel) whose real value is firmware, not bandwidth — ATEN's "Video DynaSync" runs active EDID emulation, keeping both hosts perpetually convinced the monitor is connected and eliminating icon-reshuffling, forced resolution changes, and transient black screens on Windows/Linux. Uniquely supports independent audio-focus switching from the KVM focus: an operator can keep keyboard/video on Station 1 (compiling code) while audio focus stays locked to Station 2 (a video call).
- Max resolution
- 1920x1200@60Hz
Ports: 2× HDMI (entrada), 4× USB Type-A (entrada), 4× Audio 3.5mm (entrada), 1× HDMI (salida), 2× USB Type-A (salida) and 2× Audio 3.5mm (salida)

- Notebook (generic)
A retailer review confirms it "switches well from a PC to a laptop"; a separate Reddit report documents connection drops with modern wireless receivers (e.g. Logitech Bolt) requiring the emulation engine to be disabled via hidden commands.
