Rackmount Monitors

  A KVM Console Drawer is the best way to control from one to many servers or computers through a single keyboard-video monitor-mouse setup integrated into a space-saving rack-mountable drawer. This is particularly beneficial in data centers and server rooms, where space is critical and efficient system management is paramount. There are different types of KVM Drawer units tailored to various needs. Analog KVM Drawers utilize a traditional VGA type of video output coupled with USB or PS/2 connections for keyboard and mouse control. These usually come into play where HD video is not a priority, but the cost factor is. On the other hand, Digital KVM Drawers provide better video clarity by supporting digital interfaces such as DVI-D, HDMI, or DisplayPort; they also use USB for controlling peripherals, hence warranted in environments where high-resolution display and performance are a priority. For more advanced remote access control and management, IP-based KVM Drawers enable network...

  The 8x8 HD media matrix switcher remains the paramount signal distribution product. The switcher permits versatile use as a central hub setting, routing video signals from eight high-definition inputs to eight output destinations. This device finds extensive use in home theaters and in public locations, such as cafés, sports bars, and small conference rooms. An 8 x 8 matrix system usually features front-panel controls for direct control and an RS-232 serial port to allow integration with or automation from different third-party systems. Some advanced models offer Ethernet connectivity, allowing network-based control through web interfaces or control applications. Many also offer LCD panels or LED indicators to facilitate setup and signal monitoring. While the classic HD video routing remains at the core of these systems, the innovations keep occurring. Selected models offer long-distance transmission capabilities, as they may keep the signal quality through runs of up to 330 fe...
