DDXi Series - VGA & DVI

Overview

DDXi – The Future of KVM Extension With Flat panel displays becoming more prevalent, it is natural to drive them digitally through their DVI interface to obtain optimum image quality. DDXi supports DVI/VGA extension up to resolutions of 1920x1200 to ensure the benefits of using DVI.

VGA, DVI and more DDXi supports traditional analog VGA as well as digital DVI. All combinations of DVI and VGA (graphics cards and monitors) are supported, allowing equipment to be mixed. You could use DDXi today to extend (with perfect image quality) your existing SVGA equipment. If you later purchase a DVI monitor you can use it with DDXi even though your computer is equipped with a VGA graphic card. When you finally upgrade to a DVI graphics card, DDXi will continue to extend your system without any reconfiguration.

Details

DDXi has a modular architecture providing superb flexibility. Not only are all standard peripheral connections supported (PS2, USB), but also the different cabling interfaces (depending on model) for bridging the required distance: Use Cat5 network cable, Multi-mode or Singlemode fibre cables. Other interfaces may also be added such as Serial Port for Touch-Screen, Stereo Audio, Base-Band Video Transmission, USB, 10BaseT Network Management, Parallel Port or other custom interfaces.
Its well-designed desktop housing makes it an attractive accessory on each desktop. Using mounting brackets, it may also be mounted under the desktop plate - you save additional space on your desktop. For rackmounting this device in 19” cabinets, which are often used in Networking or Server applications, you may mount the DDXi/LC, using rackmount kits into a single 1U space. You can mount one or two devices with this rackmount kit. This saves valuable rack space.

Design:

• Supporting traditional analog VGA as well as coming digital DVI
• Allowing equipment to be mixed. You could use an VGA screen attached to a DVI graphic card or vice versa
• Protection of Investment: You could use DDXi today with your existing SVGA equipment. If you later purchase a DVI monitor you can use it with DDXi even though your computer is equipped with a VGA graphic card. When you finally upgrade to a DVI graphic card, DDXi will continue to extend your system without any reconfiguration.
