Introduction

Overview

To improve operational efficiency in control rooms, there needs to be a fast and convenient way to view and manage more computers simultaneously, permitting faster response times from a single location. In addition, the solution must save space and eliminate the need for extra keyboards, mice, and monitors.

The CM1164 4-port USB DVI-D KVMP Control Center charts a revolutionary new direction in KVM switch functionality by combining a 4-port DVI-D switch with a 2-port USB hub, and providing the following Display Modes: Quad View mode, which simultaneously displays four digital computers/video sources on a single screen; as well as Picture in Picture mode (Dual, Triple or Quad) and Full Screen mode; see Display Modes, page 18. There are many ways to control and switch between computers/video sources – simply select which source you want to view on the console display by these convenient access methods: via the front panel pushbuttons, using an IR remote control, through the On-Screen Display (OSD) or through hotkey combinations entered from the console keyboard.

The CM1164 allows users to access 4 computers/devices from a single console, consisting of a USB keyboard, USB mouse and DVI-D monitor. As USB hub, it permits each computer to access connected peripherals on a one-computerat-a-time basis. The CM1164’s independent switching feature allows the KVM focus to be one computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another. There is no need to purchase a separate USB hub, as well as separate stand-alone peripheral sharers.

The CM1164 further improves on previous designs with DVI-D connectors, and the transfer of keyboard and mouse data to the computers via a fast, reliable USB connection. As with the USB peripherals, the audio focus can be independent of the KVM focus.

A Daisy Chain Control (DCC) port allows a user to connect and control up to four CM1164 units via a single console. This enables the use of only one keyboard/mouse over several computers or another CM1164.This is convenient for growing networks that need to monitor and manage more computers – daisy chain up to four units and switch between up to 16 computers/video sources.

CM1164 User Manual

Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibil ity problems. Since the CM1164 intercepts keyboard input directly, it will work on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sun and Mac platforms.

In addition, the firmware upgrade by USB interface simplifies the process and ensures your CM1164 is up-to-date.

With its unique design and innovative features, the CM1164 4-port USB DVID KVMP

Control Center provides both style and functionality for a wide range of practical applications, including control rooms, monitoring systems and traffic control centers, as well as process control centers, server rooms, medical industries, broadcasting, production and automation, aircraft and vehicles. In combination with projectors, it is also used in presentations and conference rooms. Allowing you to switch seamlessly between four DVIenabled PCs, and share USB peripherals and high-definition audio from a dualdisplay console, the CM1164 is ideal for multimedia applications, and offers the ultimate in space-saving, streamlined KVM technology.
