Agility DVI, USB, and Audio Extender over IP

Flexible extension of DVI-D, USB, audio, and serial signals via direct connect or IP networks:

• Dual CATx/SFP interfaces offer flexibility in media connections, with redundancy or bandwidth aggregation
• Range up to 100 m over CATx, 10 km over fiber, or unlimited via standard IP networks
• Supports DVI-D video, USB HID, USB 2.0, serial, and bidirectional audio signals
• Models with Single Link DVI (1920x1200), Dual Head DVI (2x 1920x1200/1080p), and Dual Link DVI (2560x1600/2kx2k)
• Lossless compression, low latency, pixel-perfect video and control
• Emulation for keyboard/mouse and other USB HIDs like touchscreens or storage devices
• Fanless for silent operation
• ACR1012A-T provides out-of-band access down to the BIOS level
• Plug-and-play installation
• Easy future expansion to a KVM matrix

Description:

The Agility Extender enables powerful extension of DVI video, audio, USB HID, USB 2.0, and RS-232 signals over a Gigabit network in real-time. This allows critical hardware to be located in secure, climate-controlled environments without compromising the desktop experience.

Flexible Media Options:

In addition to CATx connections, Agility offers an SFP port for fiber extensions. The CATx interface provides ranges up to 100 m, while the SFP port supports multimode fiber up to 500 m or singlemode fiber up to 10 km.

Pixel-Perfect Video:

Agility Extenders support pixel-perfect HD video. Models include Single Link (1920x1200), Dual Head DVI (2x 1920x1200), and Dual Link DVI (2560x1600). With bandwidth aggregation, the extender can also support RGB 4:4:4 at 60 fps.

Teaming for Redundancy and Aggregation:

Agility supports two independent Ethernet connections for redundancy or bandwidth aggregation. For graphics-intensive applications, the system maintains 60 fps at 1920x1200/1080p or 30 fps with two screens.

USB 2.0:

The extender supports USB devices such as mice, keyboards, graphic tablets, and more. For security-sensitive applications, non-HID devices can be disabled.

Out-of-Band Remote Access:

The Agility Dual VNC (ACR1012A-T) offers an additional RJ-45 port for BIOS-level access via VNC or Java. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs as no on-site servicing is required.
