No Router Mode
Switching Thinklogical Extenders without a Matrix Switch Router
The No Router Mode on many Velocity Receivers allows hot-key strokes to switch
KMASS
(Keyboard, Mouse, Audio, Serial, Stereo 3D)
data control and video sources when
directly connected to multiple Velocity Transmitters. Do not use No Router Mode when
connecter to a router.
All Velocity receivers that support redundancy and/or selectable KMASS can support No
Router Mode.
This allows users with a direct connection between one Receiver and multiple
Transmitters to switch video sources and KMASS control with
hot-key strokes
such as Alt/Alt,
Shift/Shift, etc. (
See pg. 16
)
KVMA Mode (Vel-4R, Vel-24R Receivers)
Vel-4 Redundant and Vel-24 Redundant Receivers use KVMA mode:
Video and KMASS are
switched between two sources.
The user only sees the video for the CPU being controlled.
KMA Mode (Vel-24, Vel-34, Vel-35 Receivers)
Units that switch KMASS, but not video, are in KMA mode:
Video does not change
, just the
source that the user is controlling.
KM Mode (Vel-24, Vel-34, Vel-35 Receivers)
Units that do not switch video or Audio are in KM mode. In KM mode,
Audio is received on the
primary L1 fiber only.
(Note that in all modes, the back-channel always handles full KMASS.)
The
No Router Mode
option can b
e enabled on the Receiver’s front panel. When
No Router
Mode
is enabled, out of band (OOB) should be disabled.
Non-redundant Receiver models
that support No Router Mode include Vel-24, Vel-34, Vel-35.
(The menu option on the front
panel’s LCD will display NA or not be displayed at all if the
No Router Mode
feature is not
supported.)
