USB KVM Function
HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK transmitter supports HID-compliant (Human Interface
Device) devices to transmit USB signal between the source and sink devices.
The transmitter connects to the controlled device (e.g. PC) and the controlling devices (e.g.
computer mouse, keyboard, touch panel) are connected to the receiver. USB KVM function
can be used in two different modes: Transparent and Composite mode.
Transparent mode Composite mode
Device support Supports all HID-compliant
devices.
Supports the following HID-
compliant devices: computer
mouse, keyboard built with
up to 107 keys with or without
specic multimedia keys.
Driver software Driver for all connected USB
devices has to be installed on
the controlled computer.
No driver is needed for the
connected devices.

Only HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK model is built with USB KVM function.
Optical Extender Concept
HDMI-3D-OPT series transmitters have a multi-mode single ber output interface which is able
to transmit different type of signals at the same time. The device accepts digital video (HDMI)
and analog audio sources (jack and 5-pole Phoenix). The analog audio signal can be embedded
to the digital A/V output. The unit can be controlled over RS-232 (3-pole Phoenix) and USB
interfaces. Besides of these the HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK model has USB KVM function.

One audio (original embedded or analog) and one video signals can be transmitted via the
optical output at the same time.
* Only in case of HDMI-3D-OPT-TX210RAK model.
Compatible Devices
The transmitter is compatible with the following receivers and input boards:
HDMI-3D-OPT-RX150RA
MX modular frames with MX-DVI-OPT-IB and MX-HDMI-OPT-IB cards
