Product Overview
The Avocent
®
Matrix High Performance KVM switching system is the next generation of Avocent
keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) products. This new class of digital Matrix systems and
extension products provides the high-performance, reliable desktop extension experience
expected from an Avocent product. Combining the best of the previous generation, such as the
instantaneous switching time of the Avocent AMX™ switching system and the digital quality and
advanced management features of the Avocent HMX extender system, the digital Matrix switching
solution offers a way to migrate to a digital solution while leveraging existing infrastructure.
In a typical scenario, numerous transmitter and receiver devices can connect in a Matrix fashion to
communicate through the proprietary central switch or a network of switches. The switch handles
the distribution of the data streams between transmitters and receivers. A single shielded twisted
pair (STP) CAT 5e/6 cable, connects each transmitter and receiver to the switch. Users are linked
to computers in real-time across a Matrix that connects video, USB peripherals and audio from a
target computer to a receiver where the user can operate as if the computer is directly connected to
a monitor, USB peripherals and speakers.
The Matrix Switching System is the basis for an additional set of products intended to address the
digital signage and Pro A/V, as IT and A/V equipment converge. This unified approach provides an
enhanced digital Matrix switching solution for broadcast, post production and data centers
(government, military and industrial).
Features and Benefits
• Transmitters are powered from the switch over STP CAT 5e/6
•
Dual power supply switches (available on the 32-port switch)
• High speed USB is transparently presented to the target computer
•
Transmitters, receivers, and switches are all equipped with full color LCD displays showing
color coded unit status
• Transmitters support discrete cables for connection to the target video, USB and audio
Security
The switching system supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) over a TCP/IP connection and AES.
Password protection is also provided to control access to all administration functions. Individual
KVM users have usernames, passwords and a list of targets they are allowed to access. The type
of allowed USB devices can be controlled on a per-user, per-receiver and per-transmitter basis.
