KVM EXTENDER TRANSMISSION OF DVI SIGNALS VIA CAT OR FIBRE OPTICS

ยี่ห้อ G&D รุ่น DVI-Vision

The system consists of a computer module (transmitter) and a user module (receiver) and enables you to operate a computer on a local or remote console.

The system consists of a computer module (transmitter) and a user module (receiver) and enables you to operate a computer on a local or remote console.

DVI-Vision uses CAT-x cables or fibre optics to transmit signals up to 10,000 m. The devices use DVI video and are available as variants displaying 1, 2, 3 or 4 video channels. It is also possible to transmit transparent USB 2.0, RS232 and audio signals.

With its network port, the web interface and monitoring functions, the DVI-Vision system offers important features for mission-critical applications.

TRANSMISSION

DVI-Vision systems are available as CAT or Fiber variants. These differ by the used transmission cable between the CPU and CON module.

FEATURES

SCREEN-FREEZE FUNCTION

If the console module loses the video signal due to a broken connection or a problem with the computer's graphics card, the Screen-Freeze function "freezes" the last displayed image of the monitor. This state is highlighted by a red semi-transparent frame. The function is automatically cancelled when the display receives an active video signal.

MONITORING

With the Monitoring function, you can auto-output device status messages to Syslog servers or SNMP. The web interface lets you monitor the device manually. The Monitoring function of the DVI-Vision queries the following values:

• Proactive monitoring of device states
• Event reporting function (Syslog or SNMP traps)
• Status power supply unit (on/off)
• Status temperature threshold device (in/over limit)
• Status connection cables (ok/nok)
• Status computer (on/off)
• Status image signal graphics card computer (available/not available)
• Status network
• Fan monitoring
• Status SFP modules (in -Fiber variants)
• Status interfaces (CPU and CON modules)
• Freeze status (all channels)
• Type of display (local and remote)

EASIER ACCESS WITH SNMP TOOL ZABBIX

For customers who are not yet using extensive SNMP tools, G&D offer a simple way to use the functions included in the devices. Templates for the open source tool Zabbix are provided here. The program lets users monitor SNMP-capable devices in a network and, among other things, issues warning notifications about critical device states, which have been received via SNMP trap.

VARIANTS

VIDEO CHANNELS

• Single-channel
• Multi-channel 2
• Multi-channel 3
• Multi-channel 4

USB TRANSMISSION

• "U" variants: integrated USB 2.0 transmission without an additional transmission cable. This variant offers transfer speed up to 16 Mbit/s.
• "U2" variants: USB 2.0 transmission with an additional cable. This solution reaches the HiSpeed transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s.

TRANSMISSION MEDIUM

• DVI-Vision-CAT variants: transmission via CAT-x cables
• DVI-Vision-Fiber variants: transmission via multimode or singlemode fiber optics

EXPANSION

COMMUNICATION WITH KVM-NETWORKCENTER

DVI-Vision uses the network to communicate with the appliance KVM-NetworkCenter. When deploying more than one DVI-Vision, you can query and configure the devices by using the KVM-NetworkCenter.

EMBEDDING EXTENDERS IN DIGITAL MATRIX SYSTEMS

To be prepared for growing installations, the integrated matrix support turns the DVI-Vision into a future-proof investment.

This way, it is possible to include extenders at a later point into one of the digital G&D matrix systems within an existing installation. Thus, users benefit from more flexibility through distributed access - and any existing components can still be used as before.
