The LongView™ high performance KVM
extender system provides the fastest way
to extend high-quality video, audio and
USB data across your network.
Transmitter and receiver extenders can
be configured in a single or dual-user
configuration to best meet the needs of
your system. Configuration options are
illustrated on the right, and general
system information is provided in the
following section. Proceed to the next
page for installation instructions.
Supported Hardware
LongView™ 3010 and 3020 extenders
support most standard speakers/
headsets, microphones and USB
keyboards and mice. While both extender
versions provide dual stereo audio, the
LongView™ 3020 extenders also provide
an additional video channel. Each receiver
extender provides four USB outlets that
can individually support USB 2.0
peripherals at speeds of up to 12 Mbps.
The USB connections are seamless to
ensure that all four full-speed USB 2.0
devices can be used simultaneously with
full support for a disconnect/re-connect
at any time without causing any errors in
the system.
Video and Audio Features
The LongView extender system provides
CD quality sound and high video
resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200. The
system supports the Display Data Channel
(DDC) scheme, allowing video display
capabilities to be optimized by a computer
video adaptor. All receiver extenders also
provide Video Compensation Mode for
configuration of cable types and lengths,
video gains and color skew. Three
equalization bands within the receiver
extenders ensure that a sharp video
image is received every time.
