INTRODUCTION
The Logical Solution
VelocityKVM Fiber-Optic Extension Systems
are designed for high performance visual
applications that require video as well as peripheral support.
The system allows users, via fiber-
optic cable, to station and operate video monitors and peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from the
controlling computer, securely and without loss of resolution. The VelocityKVM system is designed to
support PS2, full duplex stereo audio, serial (RS-232) and USB 1.0 (HID).
Available options include:
•
Single-Mode
or
Multi-Mode
Optics
•
USB HID
only
(eliminates USB 2.0 for added security)
•
No Router Mode
available or
supported on some models (See pg. 13)
•
Separate Data Paths
for keyboard/mouse (See
Appendix E,
pg. 60)
•
Separate Audio Paths
(See
Appendix E,
pg. 60)
•
Multi Path
(Multiple Video Paths) (See
Appendix E,
pg. 60)
•
RS-422
serial port for controlling broadcast equipment
•
Automatic Fail-Over
(See
Appendix C,
pg. 57)
•
Professional Audio
TOSLINK, AES and S/PDIF plug-in modules (pg. 12)
VelocityKVM products are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the broadcast and post-
production field, as well as command/control centers, universities, large scale digital signage and other
commercial KVM applications.

Technology
,
this KVM extension system transports every frame of a DVI or RGB video stream seamlessly with no
compression or dropped frames. In addition, all high-speed peripherals function with no latency.
The VelocityKVM Extension System
has a simple transmitter/receiver design which allows for ease of
installation and straight-forward deployment. Incorporating standard SFP+ transceivers, the transmitter
and the receiver can be connected by a multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable. The transmitter unit
connects to a CPU with the supplied peripheral cables. Local video, keyboard and mouse ports are
available on the transmitter and the receiver unit provides connections to the user interface devices.
The Fiber Extension System
Each system includes a transmitter and a receiver connected by fiber optic cables. The transmitter
connects to the source computer with standard cables and the receiver provides connections to the user
interface devices.
Standard VelocityKVM Extenders support PS2, full duplex stereo audio, serial
(RS-232), USB HID and USB 2.0.
