KVM and displays

KVM and Display Signals over Fiber

Put the operator where the work is and the machine where it is safe, quiet and serviceable.

Control rooms, machine rooms and outside broadcast trucks all have the same layout problem: the equipment wants to be in one place, the operator in another.

KVM over fiber carries HDMI and USB together so a keyboard, mouse and display behave as if they were plugged into the machine. Single-function HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort links cover video walls, confidence monitors and rack-mounted displays.

Questions buyers ask

Do USB devices work normally through a KVM fiber link?

Keyboard, mouse and most control surfaces enumerate normally because the link presents them as local USB devices. Devices that need tight timing or high bandwidth should be checked against the specific link before deployment.

Can I extend a display without extending USB?

Yes. HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort links are sold on their own when only video has to travel. The KVM variant is for positions where the operator also needs the keyboard and mouse.

Is this suitable for a video wall?

It is used for that, feeding a display or a processor from a machine located elsewhere. Where several displays are involved, plan the links per display rather than trying to split one link.
