2 Product Introduction
The new generation HMX 3080/HMX 4080 series is an IP-based matrix KVM extender that allows users to
transmit the computer's DVI remotely over a gigabit switched network USB, Analog audio, RS-232, and
infrared signals. The HMX 3080/HMX 4080 series includes two main units, the transmitter unit, and the
receiver unit. Those two units have their unique IP address so that they can transfer and receive KVM
signals over the Gigabit network. In a Gigabit network, multiple transmitters and multiple receivers can be
interleaved with each other to achieve IP matrix switching, depending on the network bandwidth and the
network switch deployed, the maximum number of theoretical devices can reach 65,000.
