Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The CE610 USB 2.0 DVI KVM Extender supports HDBaseT technology and
uses only one Cat 5e cable to extend DVI and USB signals up to 100 m. The
CE610 is equipped with USB connectors which allow you to extend any USB
device between the units. The USB functionality provides not only peripheral
sharing but also provides support for touch panel control and file transfer. The
CE610 is ideal for transportation centers, medical facilities, and shopping
malls, and for syncing files and folders between portable and desktop
computers.
The CE610 allows access to a computer system from a remote console (USB
keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Because it allows access to a computer system
from a remote console, the CE610 is perfect for use in any type of installation
where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but
youwantthesystemequipmenttoresidein a safe location – away from the dust
and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a
construction site, for example. This allows users to deploy system equipment
over large distances.
The CE610 is useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the
system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in the
most convenient location for user access. This is ideal for managing highly
confidential data systems.
With HDBaseT support, the CE610 uses one Cat 5e cable (DVI Single Link)
to support up to 1920 x 1200 video resolution to extend DVI and USB signals
up to 100 m.
The CE610 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Cat 5e
cable instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard DVI cables, for a much
neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection; and 2)
featuring a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility.
Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box; run the
Cat 5e cable up to 100 meters to the Remote Unit; and plug the remote console
into the Remote Unit.
