## Long description

The ATEN VS291 is a compact VGA video switch designed to connect two VGA sources to a single display. Housed in a metal and plastic enclosure with a silver finish, the unit measures 120 × 65.2 × 44 mm and provides two HDB-15 female VGA inputs and one HDB-15 female VGA output. It supports cable runs up to 10 m and consumes approximately 0.9 W during normal operation. The VS291 simplifies desktop and classroom setups by allowing two independent computers to share one monitor or projector without additional software or complex configuration.
Advantages
The VS291 offers electronic switching via a pushbutton for reliable, wear-resistant selection between sources. Its simple plug-and-play design requires no drivers or software installation, enabling quick setup. Support for DDC, DDC2 and DDC2B ensures proper monitor communication and automatic display adjustments. With support for resolutions up to 1920 × 1440 and compatibility with a wide range of VGA/XGA/SVGA/UXGA and multisync monitors, the switch meets common office, classroom and control-station needs while keeping footprint and power consumption low.

How to use
Connect each computer's VGA cable to one of the two HDB-15 input ports and connect the display or projector to the HDB-15 output port. Power is supplied through the unit's internal circuitry so no external driver installation is required. Use the pushbutton on the unit to select which computer's video is routed to the display. Ensure VGA cables are within the recommended maximum distance (up to 10 m) for reliable signal quality and confirm your display's input is set to the correct VGA source.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use high-quality shielded VGA cables and keep cable runs under 10 m to maintain signal integrity at higher resolutions. When using resolutions near 1920 × 1440, verify the monitor supports the chosen resolution and DDC communication is enabled to allow automatic timing and sync. Place the unit on a stable surface and avoid exposing it to excessive heat or moisture.
