Introduction

Overview

The CE624 USB DVI Dual View HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender / CE924 USB DisplayPort Dual View HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender is a Dual DVI (CE624) / DisplayPort (CE924) and USB Extender with HDBaseT™ technology. The CE624 / CE924 can extend two DVI (CE624) / DisplayPort (CE924) displays and USB 2.0 signals up to 300 ft (100 m) from the source using a single Cat 5e/ 6/6a cable. The CE624 / CE924 is equipped with USB connectors which allow you to extend any USB device between the units. The USB functionality provides not only peripheral sharing but also provides support for touch panel co ntrol and file tra n sfer. Th e CE624 / CE9 24 is ideal for tra nsportation centers, medical facilities, and shopping malls, industrial kiosks and for syncing files and folders between portable and desktop computers.

The CE624 / CE924 allows access to a computer from a remote console (USB keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Because it allows access to a computer from a remote console, the CE624 / CE924 is perfect for use in any type of installation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but you want the equipment to reside in a safe location – away from the dust and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a construction site. This allows users to deploy system equipment over large distances.

The CE624 / CE924 is useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access. This is ideal for managing highly confidential data systems.

The CE624 / CE924 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Cat 5e/6acable instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard DVI / DisplayPort cables, for a much neater, more convenient, and reliable connection; 2) featuring a dual DVI (CE624) / DisplayPort (CE924) ports; and 3) HDBaseT

2.0 technology. HDBaseT 2.0 technologies include: Long Reach mode to extend the KVM installation up to 150 meters @1080p; Signal detection LED to indicate the HDBaseT™ connection status on the remote unit; and transmission of uncompressed 2 channel PCM digital audio.

Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box; run the Cat 5e/6/6a cable up to 100 meters to the Remote Unit; and plug the remote console into the Remote Unit.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Requirements

Console

 Two DVI-D monitors capable of the highest resolution you will be using

on any computer in the installation (CE624 only).

 Two DisplayPort monitors capable of the highest resolution you will be

using on any computer in the installation (CE924 only).

 A USB keyboard

 A USB mouse

Computers

The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be connected to the system:

 Two DVI-D / DVI-I ports (CE624 only).

 Two DisplayPort ports (CE924 only).

 2 USB ports for the mouse and keyboard

 RS-232 Serial port (optional)

 Microphone and speaker ports (optional)

Cables

 For optimal signal integrity, and to simplify the layout, we strongly

recommend that you use the high quality custom DVI Cable (CE624 only) or DisplayPort Cable (CE924 only) that is provided with the package.

 For better quality over longer distances, we suggest using an HDBaseT

certified cable (e.g. ATEN 2L-2910 cable) for the unit to unit connection. For more information about suitable Cat 5e/6/6a cables and setting up HDBaseT devices, refer to the ATEN HDBaseT Installation Guide.
