Seamlessly Access Real-Time Data with Ease from any Preferred
Workstation with Local Output for Video Monitoring
Digital connectivity solutions provider Gefen today
announced the availability of its new DVI KVM over IP extender with
local DVI output. This new product facilitates remote access to
servers from workstations placed up to 660 feet (200m) away over an
existing Local Area Network. It supports high resolution digital video
in the DVI format, four USB ports for connecting keyboard, mouse and
other peripherals, analog audio from server to workstation and RS-232
extension over the LAN. Each sender and receiver can be connected
directly or through a Gigabit network switch using a single CAT-5
cable. Each cable run can be up to 100 meters.
((Ideal for demanding applications in hospitality, retail,
post-production, broadcast, telecommunications and mission-critical
control centers, Gefen’s DVI KVM over IP can help improve the
efficiency of data access, increase productivity and streamline
equipment setup. Because a workstation can be placed anywhere within a
100 meter distance from the network switch, this high performance
solution vastly improves the ability to access data from a remote
location.((
A robust set of features further strengthens performance and
versatility. Each sender and receiver can be configured to operate in
a one-to-one relationship in which the receiver can only access a
specific sender, or all senders and receivers on the LAN can be
assigned unique IP addresses to facilitate the routing of up to 256
senders to any receiver. This creates a scalable, virtual cross-point
matrix without any additional wiring. In this configuration, each
receiver will be able to access any of the senders within its network.
The DVI KVM over IP can also be combined on the same LAN with
Gefen’s HDMI and VGA KVM over IP extenders, allowing a convenient
and efficient method of video format conversion within the
infrastructure.
((Each sender is also equipped with a loop-through DVI output so that
users can install a local display at the computer (sender) side for
monitoring video. The receiver also includes a built-in Ethernet
switch and two additional Ethernet ports for connecting IP-enabled
devices at the remote location. Each DVI KVM over IP extender includes
a web server interface for easy operation, configuration and setup.
Alternative methods of control include keyboard switching software or
the push-buttons on the front panel.
