System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics
Orion XTender, a high-performance, long distance, multi-
function digital KVM Extender. The product increases the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its
console (display, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices). It is compatible with CATx (Twisted Pair)
interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables. The fiber models of the Orion XTender are especially suitable
for environments with high electromagnetic activity, where electromagnetic interference can affect maximum
distance and signal reliability.
The modular structure of the Orion XTender product family accommodates a variety of applications by offering
the flexibility of customization. Each extender card can be installed in one of four unique frame assemblies: 2,
4, 6, or 21 cards per frame. The DVI and HDMI extenders support high resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 @
60 Hz, Full HD (1080p) and 2K HD (2048 x 1152). USB-HID signals for mice, keyboards or other USB pointing
devices are also extended. A multi-stage compression algorithm maximizes data flow and provides a
consistently clear image for HD video signals. Several options are available for each module, including analog
or digital audio, USB 2.0, VGA inputs and RS232 serial data transmission. Extension distances up to 460 ft
(140 m) with CATx cables or 32808 ft (10 km) with fiber cables are supported.
The system consists of two components: a Transmitter and a Receiver. The Transmitter connects to a
computer’s DVI-D video output, USB keyboard and mouse ports, USB 2.0 device ports, audio input/output
connectors and a serial port. The receiver can connect directly to DVI-D video displays, USB keyboards and
mice, USB 2.0 devices, powered speakers, a microphone and/or serial device. Depending on the model, the
Transmitter and receiver are connected with industry standard CATx or fiber cables.
