1. Introduction
IP HD Digital KVM Matrix Extender is a highly optimized KVM extender. The
transmission distance can reach 150m for point-to-point connection with an
Ethernet cable, and the resolution is up to 3840×2160@30Hz. This series of
extenders can be connected to a Gigabit network switch to form a matrix switching
system, which can be networked independently without using a centralized
management platform, supporting up to 40 nodes; when using a centralized
management platform, it can support up to 9999 nodes according to the network
bandwidth. It supports fast non-black screen switching. The matrix switching system
can connect various kinds of signal sources, such as servers, workstations,
cameras, video TV walls, etc.
With the matrix switching system, computers and servers can be located in a central
server room away from the workbench to improve safety, reduce the temperature
and noise of the working environment, and achieve a quiet and friendly
human-computer interaction environment.
The video compression algorithm of the IP HD digital KVM matrix extender is a
perfect combination of high image quality and low latency (8ms/1080P@60Hz).
USB and video signals are transmitted via CAT5e/6/7 network cables or optical
fibers.
USB2.0 supports USB devices such as touch screens, USB sound cards, printers,
and also USB storage devices.
