2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The THOR Small Switch can be set up in three configurations:
•
As a Multiplex Repeater : - the DVI signals (+optional audio) coming from a
signal source are equalized and distributed on up to 7 equivalent outputs. A control
is not necessary. Distributed display systems can be realized (digital signage).
There are three operating modes: 1 link (1 source to 7 screens), 2 links (1 source to
3 screens each) and 4 links (1 source to 1 screen each): a pure length booster.
•
As an 8-port Crosspoint Switch : each port can be switched optionally as an input
or output so you can, for example, switch and distribute the signals from 3 signal
sources on up to 5 displays (allowing simultaneous presentations on several
displays). Alternatively, signals coming from 7 signal sources can be switched in
turn to a display. The changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial
interface (RS232) and/or by a push-button at the device.
•
As a 7-port KVM Switch : up to 7 Single-head switches (a “Single-head” extender
system supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or up to 3 Dual-head switches
(a Dual-head extender system supports 2x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse). The
changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial interface (RS232) and/or by a
push-button at the device.
A Multiplex Repeater system consists of a THOR Small Switch and one or more
Local/Remote Units. Optionally, THOR Small Switches can be cascaded in a maximum of
two stages (master/slave). The THOR Small Switch and the Local/ Remote Units are attached
by CATx cables.
The operation of a THOR Small Switch always requires (at least) one Local Unit of a THOR
Extender and up to seven Remote Units of THOR Extenders.
