display selection considerations
Proper selection of user display is critical for the success of any
Windowing KVM deployment. The information provided here represents
the information gained during evaluation and deployment projects.
• Avoid using old CRT displays.
• Some projects invested significant resources in the overall
project design and implementation but neglected the display and
peripherals. Users may reject the new system if a proper display
is not used with the system. As large LCD cost is going down
daily, it becomes easier and cheaper to retrofit the user desktop
completely during these projects.
• Proper size of the display is critical. To enable simultaneous work
with several windows LCD panels larger than 2inches diagonal
are recommended.
• Try to use the larger LCD size possible (taking the user
workstation/table size into consideration).
• Check if the display adjusts automatically to resolution changes.
This feature is essential to support window maximization.
• Native resolution of the display should match output resolutions
supported by The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing KVM.
• Display should support DVI input. HDMI can be used with proper
DVI to HDMI cable or adapter. In this case check audio-out
channels cannot be routed through HDMI.
• It is recommended to involve the users in the display selection
process during evaluation and initial deployments.
• Consult Belkin support with specific display models and technical
specifications.
• DVI-I to VGA converters cannot be used with The Belkin Advanced
Secure Windowing KVM as it does not support analog video.
