Gefen offers extended KVM distances

Gefen is now shipping its newest KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extender. The DVI-3600HD comes with rack-mountable sender and receiver units equipped with ports for DVI, USB, RS-232 and analogue audio.

When connected to a local computer and a remote workstation, the DVI-3600HD delivers high resolution (1920x1200) video in the DVI format, up to four USB peripherals such as keyboard/mouse, printer, camera and hard drive, RS-232 automation or control and analogue audio from sender to receiver. Distances up to 2,000m are reached using a single mode fibre-optic cable. The use of multi-mode fibre-optic cable will reach distances up to 500m.

Because USB peripherals can be connected at both local (sender) and remote (receiver) locations, users can set up two distant workstations and alternate between the two. When in local mode, the computer accesses up to two USB devices connected to the sender unit. When in remote mode, it recognises up to four USB devices connected to the receiver unit. A front panel switch on the sender controls local and remote modes of operation.

Local and virtual EDID ensures a constant signal sync even when delivering multiple signals up to 2,000 meters.
