Overview
The KVM console is an ideal solution for network administration with multiple
servers / platforms. Their 15 / 17 / 17.3 / 19 / 20.1-inch large size TFT LCD color
display and ultra-low-profile compact industrial keyboard / touchpad provide the
user-friendliest and most reliable environment for network administrators. All these
functions are integrated in a 19-inch 1U space with rugged construction design to
achieve ultra space saving and high reliability for high quality industrial network
applications.
The KVM console provide superior picture quality and state-of-the-art features
mounted in an industrial grade, rack mount console. The console forms a rugged
enclosure that protects the panel from industrial hazards and permits easy
access to panel controls.
The KVM console panels provide flicker-free color images at optimal
resolutions. The panels’ 0.297 x 0.297 mm pixel pitch – 15 inch (0.264 x 0.264 mm
pixel pitch – 17 inch, 0.1989 x 0.1989 mm pixel pitch – 17.3 inch, 0.098 x 0.294 mm
pixel pitch – 19 inch, 0.255 x 0.255mm pixel pitch – 20.1 inch) ensures crisp images
with clear definition, even at high resolutions. The KVM console panels are
intelligent, microprocessor-based, and have an ergonomically designed display.
The KVM console panels employ the latest in active matrix thin film transistor
(TFT) technology, providing crisp screen images and wide viewing angles.
Unlike CRT panels, LCD panels are inherently immune to the magnetic fields
commonly found on the plant floor or communications centers. LCDs are also
typically brighter than conventional CRT technology, making them ideal for the
high ambient lighting conditions found in many of today's factory environments.
On-screen menus allow for display adjustments. In addition, the panels'
Plug-n-Play+ features support Dos, Unix, Linux, OSX, Windows, while a
universal power supply ensures global applicability.
The KVM console panels are compatible with most analog RGB (red, green, blue)
display standards, including PS/2, optional for Sun Micro System, Apple Macintosh
Centris, Quadra, and Macintosh II family signals. The LCD panel is capable of
displaying crisp and vibrant color graphics with VGA, SXGA, XGA (non-interlaced),
SXGA, UXGA, and most Macintosh compatible color video cards.
