1. Installation and getting started
This chapter describes how to connect a VGA2Ethernet or a
KVM2Ethernet device to a VGA source and to your Ethernet
network. This section also describes how to install and use the
VGA2Ethernet drivers and application to find the VGA2Ethernet
device on your network and to view captured images using a
video capture workstation.
The VGA2Ethernet device uses an Ethernet network connection
to send captured image data to the video capture workstation. A
video capture workstation is any PC on which you have installed
the VGA2Ethernet drivers and application and that is connected
to the same Ethernet network as the VGA2Ethernet device.
The KVM2Ethernet device provides full Keyboard-Video-Mouse
(KVM) capabilities that you can use to manage any computerized
machine with a VGA output and keyboard/mouse inputs from a
video capture workstation. The video capture workstation must
be running Windows.
