Introduction
Description:
The XTENDEX® VGA/DVI USB KVM Extender Over IP provides remote KVM (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and VGA/DVI
monitors) access to a USB computer up to 492 feet (150 meters) over a Gigabit network using a single CAT5e/6 cable. The
extender consists of the ST-IPUSBVD-L-VW Local unit (Transmitter (TX)) that connects to a computer and also supplies
video to local VGA and DVI monitors; and the ST-IPUSBVD-R-VW Remote unit (Receiver (RX)) that connects to VGA and
DVI monitors, microphone, speakers, and up to four USB devices (keyboard, mouse, flashdrive, web camera, or
touchscreen display).
The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CAT5e/6 cable or a Point-to-Many
connection via a Gigabit network switch. Support for multiple transmitters (Many-to-Many connections) requires a managed
Gigabit network switch.
Features:
•Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p, and up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) at 60Hz.
oExtend up to 492 feet (150 meters) in a Point-to-Point connection.
oExtend up to 656 feet (200 meters) in a Point-to-Point or Point-to-Many connection via a Gigabit
network switch.
oThe max distance between the switch and the local/remote unit is 328 feet (100 meters).
•Built-in video converter and switch - supports digital DVI and analog VGA.
•Connect a VGA USB computer and DVI USB computer, and switch between sources using the
front panel buttons.
oBoth the transmitter and receiver support VGA and DVI monitors at the same time.
•Supports USB 2.0/1.1 devices.
oKeyboard and mouse are hot-pluggable.
oConnect a mouse, keyboard, flashdrive, web camera or touchscreen display.
•Supports video wall installations up to 8x16 screens.
•Displays can be rotated 180 and 270°.
•Bi-directional Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source or display. IR transport channel can be
forward or backward per the installation.
•Supports full-duplex RS232 up to 115200 baud.
•Manage transmitter/receiver connections and video wall configuration with built-in software or
iOS/Android app.
•Applications using multiple transmitters and/or receivers require a managed Gigabit network
switch with VLAN/IGMP and 8K Jumbo frame support.
•When using multiple remote units, only one unit can have USB control over the source at any time.
•HDCP 1.4 compliant.
•Easily expandable – add receivers as you add control stations.

Lock/Unlock Panel Buttons: When locked, panel buttons will not respond to a momentary push. You must press the Menu
button for 3 seconds to unlock the buttons and resume functionality.
Engineering Mode
In Engineering mode the “ON” and “Link” LEDs will flash together and the IP address of unit will be set to Static IP of
192.168.0.88 temporarily. If you find yourself in Engineering mode accidentally, power cycle the ST-IPUSBVD-VW to return
to normal operation.

Rotary Switch Function:
The built in rotary switch to set channel numbers follow 16 HEX, could switch “ 0 ~ F “ total 16
channels, A = channel 10, B = channel 11, others channel same as 16 hex conversion.
For channel numbers over “15” you could use panel button, IR remote, RS232, or APP on phone to set
up.

Cable & Transmission Distance:
For the cable between the transmitter and receiver, use high quality CAT.5e UTP/STP/FTP or CAT.6 UTP cable. The
transmission distance will be affected by equipment (router, Ethernet switch, hub), cable quality, routing the cable over noise
generating devices, etc.
When using CAT.5e/CAT.6 cable to connect the transmitter and receiver directly (without an Ethernet switch), the maximum
transmission distance is 150M.
You can also use a Gigabit Switch hub that supports IGMP protocol and Jumbo Frame 8K for signal distribution or
extending the distance.

The bandwidth will vary based on different resolutions. The chart below provides the average bandwidth per resolution for
reference.

The above bandwidth chart does not include USB transmission. USB uses up to 50 Mbps when transferring mass data.
System scalability is limited only by uplink and stacking connector bandwidths. For example, under a Gigabit Ethernet
network, the total flow must not exceed 1000Mbps to avoid any delay of video streaming. If the video plays with 1080p
resolution, the transmitter will allow a maximum of up to 7 receivers for simultaneous video streaming.
For 8~16 sources: use switches which support 802.3ad Link Aggregation or smart (or intelligent) switches to get 2 Gbps or
more bandwidth.
For over 16 sources: we recommend using a 10 gigabit switch.
System Default Settings:
Casting Mode:
The transmitter / receiver supports Unicast and Multicast modes (default is Multicast).
Use Multicast mode for one-to-one, one-to-multi, multi-to-one or multi-to-multi applications.
The analog audio output of the receiver going to the transmitter will be OFF in this mode, analog audio will only
from pass from transmitters to receivers (one direction).
Unicast mode is suitable for one-to-one or multiple transmitters-to-one receiver applications. Analog audio with bi-
direction transmission is only supported in Unicast mode.
7

IP Mode:
System default network IP setting is Static IP. The address is assigned using the last 4 digits of the MAC address (Hex),
For example MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:12:AB, the default IP address will be169.254.18.171
You could also set the units to DHCP or Auto IP. Please refer to web setting chapter: “IP Setting” (Page 20). In Auto IP
mode it will assign 169.254.X.X (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) to transmitters and receivers when no DHCP serveris
present.
We recommend using Static IP mode when using APP or PC software control to prevent any IP change
problems.
USB Hot Key Function:
Multicast mode supports multiple USB keyboard and mice in each receiver, but only one USB FLASH drive / hard disk can
be used at the same time.
In order to establish a USB FLASH drive or hard disk connection,
1. Click the “Pause/Break” key three times on the keyboard connected to the receiver OR,
2. Using the IR remote, press MENU-1-4.
