1. Product Description

The OPTICIS 4K HDMI IPKVM Extender, IPKVM-500-ED is designed to distribute, control and

access video with data (USB, RS-232, DIO and audio) anywhere over the standard IP Network.

The transmitter, IPKVM-500-E (Encoder) connected to a HDMI source, encodes the video with data
and transmits it over Ethernet. The receiver, IPKVM-500-D (Decoder) connected to a display,
receives the encoded signal over network and decodes it to regenerates the video and data for users.

The provided PC program makes the transmitters and receivers units in the network can be
automatically or manually detected and configured to individual IP address and helps the any of
receivers can be connected simultaneously to any transmitter within the network to create a virtual
crosspoint matrix system of KVM as well as audio and video only system widely used in Pro-AV
installation.

5. Systems Requirements for Setup

♦ Hardware requirements

▶ You must have a HDMI graphic controller or card having a HDMI or DVI port in your PC

or any other equipment being used.

▶ It should support the maximum graphic resolution of displays to be connected.

▶ No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, if you’ve already

properly installed your HDMI graphic controllers or cards.

♦ Software requirements

▶ You need to check OS version of your PC or any other equipment being used. [TBD]

♦ Network requirements

▶ You may need Ethernet switch as a switching hub or router for connecting multiple

IPKVM -500-EDs on Local LAN or Intranet. Because IP Video Wall Controller, IPKVM-

500-ED is based on multicast protocol for A/V streaming, the network switch has to

support Gigabit Ethernet, Jumbo frame, and IGMP snooping with L2 Switch and Gigabit

Ethernet, Jumbo frame, IGMP and multicasting protocol with L3 Switch.

Note: In some network switches, there may be a problem with video streaming because of

capacity performance, even though they support these functions.

* Opticis tested and confirmed the performance of L2 & L3 switches as below. So, opticis

recommends user to use the switches for easy set-up.
