Basic Principles of KVM
• Switches and extends Keyboard, Video, and Mouse signals
• AND additional peripheral signals such as RS-232, USB, and audio.
• Enables sharing resources Collaboration Maximize resource usage
• Connects users to multiple and often remote target devices.

• AMD, Dell, Intel, Lenovo, Samsung and LG announced their intentions to discontinue all VGA support by 2015.
• DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort are now the most common output connection types
• Harder to source hardware with VGA connections on both the source and display sides.
The Digital Sunset
4
• Analog VGA sources and displays are getting increasingly hard to find
• Older designs facing a shortage of components
• Significant decline in sales of analogKVM systems
Sourcing Analog
Analog systems are becoming obsolete and analog component
support is waning

• Analog video suffers from bandwidth limitations• Digital standards offer higher bandwidth and color depth• Dual-link DVI 2560 x 1600• HDMI and DisplayPort 4K, and Deep Color• Support for high resolution software programs
Higher detail levels than ever
Understand which video interfaces are supported by the equipment.
Keys to a successful migration
Check the required distance and cable type from the computers to the users.
Verify the number of total endpoints.
Keep future expansions in mind. Make sure the KVM system can grow with the business!

Make sure you’re getting Digital
• Many KVM providers have DVI adapters or computer interface Modules. But it’s not digital video!
• DVI does carry an analog signal. Don’t be tricked.

• Efficiency and accuracy KVM improves operability and creates a more efficient use of human resources
Instant switching technology enables instant access critical information
• Flexibility Support for multiple video formats and cable types – copper or fiber
Modular solutions enable systems to grow with the users needs
• Reliability and safety Improved reliability with redundancy and quick fall-back solutions
Designed for uninterrupted 24/7 operations
• Security and asset protection Backracking computers in a secure environment to better protect assets
User authentication and logging to prevent data breaches

No Distance Limitations
UTP, Fiber, and TCP/IP Support
• Unlimited distances with TCP/IP Agility platform
• 10km limit with fiber DKM FX platform
• Coverage for large campuses and facilities
• Less susceptible to EMI with fiber
• More secure with fiber
17
Multi-Display Support
• Support for up to any number of video outputs per source
• Support for any number of displays per user station
18
Intuitive Operation
Easy for operators to use • Quick keyboard shortcuts
• Searchable OSD list of targets
• Faster than using third-party party touch pad controllers
Eliminate programing third-party party controllers
Eliminate having to train and certify someone to third-party party controller program

Detailed Config and Maintenance
Easy for admins to configure and maintain
• Graphical configuration and maintenance tool
• Specific access rights can be set
• LDAP support
20
• Use Ethernet LAN infrastructure to switch and extend HD video and KVM signals
• Scales to thousands of targets
• Dual connectivity over copper or fiber
• Dual head, high-resolution display
• Supports active directory authentication
• No-loss compression, low-latency video
• Link aggregation or link redundancy available
Agility IP-Based Switching and Extension
21
• Scalable signal switching for up to 288 ports/chassis and over 4000 ports per system
• Instantaneous video switching within a single frame
• Supports SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI, serial, and USB simultaneously.
• High availability design with dual controllers and redundant power
