1. General Information
1.1 Overview
The KVM console is an ideal solution for network administration with multiple servers / platforms.
The 19-inch large size TFT LCD color display and ultra-low-profile compact industrial keyboard /
touchpad provide the user-friendliest and most reliable environment for network administrators. All
these functions are integrated in a 19-inch 1U space with rugged construction design to achieve
ultra space saving and high reliability for high quality industrial network applications.
The KVM console provide superior picture quality and state-of-the-art features mounted in an
industrial grade, rack mount console. The console forms a rugged enclosure that protects the
monitor from industrial hazards and permits easy access to monitor controls.
The KVM console monitors provide flicker-free color images at optimal resolutions. The
monitors’ 0.264mm pixel pitch ensures crisp images with clear definition, even at high resolutions.
The KVM console monitors are intelligent, microprocessor-based, and have an ergonomically
designed display.
The KVM console monitors employ the latest in active matrix thin film transistor (TFT)
technology, providing crisp screen images and wide viewing angles. Unlike CRT monitors,
LCD monitors are inherently immune to the magnetic fields commonly found on the plant floor
or communications centers. LCDs are also typically brighter than conventional CRT
technology, making them ideal for the high ambient lighting conditions found in many of
today's factory environments. On-screen menus allow for display adjustments. In addition, the
monitors' Plug-n-Play+ features support Windows 95/98,NT and XP, while a universal power
supply ensures global applicability.
The KVM console monitors are compatible with most analog RGB (red, green, blue) display
standards, including PS/2, optional for Sun Micro System, Apple Macintosh Centris, Quadra, and
Macintosh II family signals. The LCD monitor is capable of displaying crisp and vibrant color graphics
with VGA, S2GA, XGA (non-interlaced), and most Macintosh compatible color video cards.
