Gefen VGA and KVM Over IP Receiver

Make the most of your digital workspace with the high-quality VGA and KVM Over IP Receiver, a reliable and innovative solution designed to extend and distribute VGA, USB, RS-232, IR, and 2-way audio over a Local Area Network. This user-friendly device supports a wide array of video and audio formats, including any combination of HDMI, DVI, and VGA sender and receiver units, ensuring compatibility with a diverse range of devices.

Experience crystal-clear resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) for an enhanced visual interface. The sender and receiver units can be configured either automatically or manually with unique IP addresses, facilitating the connection of multiple units to the same network. This feature allows for the creation of a virtual crosspoint matrix of over 65,000 sender and receiver units total, depending on network bandwidth and the number of ports on your network switch.

The VGA KVM over IP receiver boasts a built-in three-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, along with two additional RJ-45 Ethernet ports, providing seamless connectivity for computers and other IP-enabled devices. With USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps and backward compatibility with USB 1.1, this device ensures efficient data transfer and connectivity for all your USB devices.

Each receiver unit is equipped with two USB ports, each supporting up to 500mA current draw, allowing for the connection of keyboards, mice, and other compatible peripherals. Bi-directional analog audio capability enables high-quality audio transport between the sender and receiver units, while the built-in mic pre-amp on the receiver unit guarantees compatibility with various microphones.

Extend IR commands from the receiver side to sources connected to any of the sender units, and enjoy the convenience of RS-232 serial control extension between each sender and receiver unit. The intuitive built-in web server interface simplifies operation, setup, and configuration, making it easy to manage all features.

The VGA KVM over IP is an ideal solution for large-scale remote workstation access and digital signage applications. Its robust design includes locking power supply connectors and surface mounting brackets, with the option to rack-mount the 1U tall, half-rack width enclosures using EXT-RACK-1U.

Setting up the system is straightforward: assign unique channel IDs to sender units via the built-in web interface, connect your VGA and USB devices, and link the sender and receiver units directly or through a Gigabit Ethernet switch using CAT-5e or better cables. Each cable run can extend up to 330 feet (100 meters), providing flexibility in device placement.

Optimize your visual experience with the mode button on the sender unit, which allows for sharpness or motion optimization of the image. Firmware updates are easily applied through the web server interface, ensuring your system remains up-to-date.

Please note that a Gigabit switch supporting 8k jumbo frame packets is required for multicast mode operation. For networks not exclusively dedicated to Gefen KVM-LAN products, a managed switch is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance.

Choose the VGA and KVM Over IP Receiver for a durable, versatile, and easy-to-use extension solution that meets the demands of modern digital environments.
