The DVI 3600 HD allows
y
ou to operate a sin
g
le DVI-compliant computer
f
rom
two workstations, b
y
extendin
g
DVI, U
S
B 2.0, analo
g
audio, and R
S
-232
f
rom the
c
omputer to the remote workstation. U
S
B peripherals can be placed at either o
f
the two locations, b
y
the
S
ender or Receiver unit.
How It Works
The DVI 3600 HD s
y
stem consists o
f
a
S
ender and a Receiver unit. The
S
ender
c
onnects to the computer
’
s DVI-compliant video card output, analo
g
audio
j
ack,
RS
-232 port, and U
S
B port. The DVI 3600 HD Receiver connects to the remote
displa
y
and peripherals. Four strands o
f
L
C
fi
ber optic cable connect the
S
ender
and Receiver to
g
ether
.
The DVI 3600 HD has two modes o
f
U
S
B operation. When in local mode, the
c
omputer sees U
S
B devices connected to the
S
ender. When in remote mode,
the computer sees U
S
B devices connected to the Receiver. Modes are switched
u
sin
g
a switch on the
f
ront panel o
f
the
S
ender.
