Features and Benefits

The Avocent Emerge® EMS2000 series of digital signage extenders provide a modular method 
to distribute high quality video and audio to remote display units as well as handling serial 
control signals. The various modules of the Emerge® EMS2000 series support a wide range of 
configurations: from individual point-to-point installations to multiple screen distributions, all via 
CATx cabling at distances up to 1000 feet. 

All Emerge® EMS2000 series modules provide full support for RS232 serial communications 
between the host system and the display(s). This support extends not just to point-to-point 
connections, but also to larger scale installations using the EMS2400T transmitter. The inclusive 
Display Manager utility provides the final piece of the puzzle and allows remote, flexible control 
of all devices attached to the Emerge® EMS installation.
