1.THE T-4200 SERIES DVI MODULES
The Logical Solution: Modular KVM Extension / DVI and SDI Support in One Unit
The VelocityKVM line of extenders continues to evolve and add value with exciting new capabilities. The
VelocityKVM T-4200 Series is housed in a high reliability, rack-space-saving chassis that includes all of
the same capabilities in a 1U device that used to require 2U. Featuring a dual interface and current
sharing power supplies, each 1U chassis supports two separate interface modules, allowing users to
combine module options within one chassis.
Available modules support a variety of video display options and all modules support PS2, full duplex
stereo audio, stereo emitter, serial (RS-232), USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps) and/or USB 1.0 HID.
Using multi-mode or single-mode fiber, the system allows users to securely locate a display device and
peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from the controlling computer without loss of resolution.
In addition, all high speed peripherals function with no latency, making it ideally suited for a wide range
of applications in the broadcast and post-production field, command and control centers, universities, air
traffic control, energy production and exploration, and most other commercial KVM applications.

2.CONNECTING THE VelocityKVM T-4200 EXTENDER
All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables are
commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.
2.1 Transmitter Modules
The Transmitter Module connects to the CPU (or other sources) using the supplied cables listed above.
The Transmitter then connects to the Receiver via multi-mode or single-mode fiber-optic cables. (See
paragraph 2.8 Technical Specifications on page 12, for details about specific optical distances using
various fiber types.)

2.4 Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cables connect the Transmitters to the Receivers. Standard multi-mode fiber optic cables
must be 50 or 62.5 microns, terminated with LC type fiber optic connectors. Be careful not to kink or
pinch the fiber optic cable as it is being installed and keep all bend radii to no less than 3 inches
(76.2mm).
Standard multi-mode fiber optic cable (up to 1000 meters),
50 or 62.5 microns, terminated with LC-type connectors
◄Transmit◄Receive
With two fibers connected (in models with one SFP) or with three fibers connected (in models with two
SFPs) video information is transmitted from the TX to the RX over fiber L1 (and L3 in models with two
SFPs). Fiber L2 is used as a data return path from the RX to the TX, allowing full duplex, bi-directional
RS-232 data transfer.
2.5 Installation
All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables are
commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.
