Let us consider the rank 14 lattice $P=D_4^3oplus < -2> oplus < 2>$. We define a K3 surface S of type P with the property that $Psubset {rm Pic}(S) $, where ${rm Pic}(S) $ indicates the Picard lattice of S. In this article we study the family of K3 surfaces of type P with a certain fixed multipolarization. We note the orthogonal complement of P in the K3 lattice takes the form $$ U(2)oplus U(2)oplus (-2I_4). $$ We show the following results: item{(1)} A K3 surface of type P has a representation as a double cover over ${bf P}^1times {bf P}^1$ as the following affine form in (s,t,w) space: $$ S=S(x): w^2=prod_{k=1}^4 (x_{1}^{(k)}st+x_{2}^{(k)}s+x_{3}^{(k)}t+x_{4}^{(k)}), x_k=pmatrix{x_{1}^{(k)}&x_{2}^{(k)}cr x_{3}^{(k)}&x_{4}^{(k)}} in M(2,{bf C}). $$ We make explicit description of the Picard lattice and the transcendental lattice of S(x). item{(2)} We describe the period domain for our family of marked K3 surfaces and determine the modular group. par oindent item{(3)} We describe the differential equation for the period integral of S(x) as a function of $xin (GL(2,{bf C}))^4$. That bocomes to be a certain kind of hypergeometric one. We determine the rank, the singular locus and the monodromy group for it. par oindent item{(4)} It appears a family of 8 dimensional abelian varieties as the family of Kuga-Satake varieties for our K3 surfaces. The abelian variety is characterized by the property that the endomorphism algebra contains the Hamilton quarternion field over ${bf Q}$.
