The modular DKM KVM extenders offer the largest selection of combination possibilities for video and peripheral signals, ensuring that you can find the right KVM extender even for very specific applications.

The modular DKM KVM extenders consist of enclosures with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots, base modules with video and two USB HID interfaces, and upgrade modules for peripheral connections. Special converter modules provide analog-to-digital conversion so that you can use a wide range of analog video sources with the system. For space-saving installations, an 8-port switching module with the same functionality as DKM FXC switches is also available.

Base Modules:

The modules on this page provide one or two video ports and two USB HID ports for keyboard and mouse. Additionally, they offer CATx or LC fiber connections for linking to a remote counterpart or, in a switched environment, to a central KVM switch. Each modular DKM extender enclosure must be equipped with at least one base module.

Choose between CATx, fiber with 1 Gbps, or high-speed fiber with 2.5 Gbps cable connections depending on the required distance and video bandwidth. CATx connections are ideal for shorter distances up to 140m. The fiber modules support both multimode fiber up to 1km and singlemode cables up to 10km. The 2.5 Gbps high-speed modules are designed for demanding graphic applications and provide twice the bandwidth of normal modules.

Base modules are available in various video formats. Options include Single Link DVI-D, DVI-I with VGA input and DVI-D output, Dual Head DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort, each with two USB HID ports for keyboard and mouse.

Modules with special functions expand your possibilities even further. Redundant link modules are ideal for applications requiring a return channel or when two users need to share a video channel. Modules with an integrated 2-port switch are the ideal solution if, in addition to the remote console, a local console needs to be connected directly to the computer or if one console needs to access both a remote and a local computer. For pure HD video distribution, choose modules with video-only interfaces. If you use Wacom tablets or other high-bandwidth USB devices, select the transparent USB 2.0 module with a speed of 480 Mbps and its own cable link.

Resolutions:

The digital transmission of the video signal ensures no loss in quality, resulting in images that are as sharp as if directly connected to the workstations. Advanced algorithms for video compression support 24-bit color depth for smooth color gradients. Single Link DVI delivers pixel-perfect resolutions up to 2048 x 1152, Dual Link DVI up to 2560 x 1600/2x2K, HDMI up to 1080p pixel-perfect, and DisplayPort even up to 4K over the full distance.

DKM Modular Extenders Overview:

The enclosures are available in desktop versions with two, four, or six slots, as well as in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) version with 21 slots. For critical applications, versions with two power supplies for redundant operation are recommended. Choose between internal or external power supplies, AC power, or in industrial applications, DC power with 12-, 24-, or 48VDC. The desktop enclosures can be mounted on a wall, under a desk, on a DIN rail, or in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) IT rack using optional mounting kits. Configure an enclosure with a transmitter card for the computer connection and an enclosure with receiver cards for the console connection.

Base Modules provide the cable connection to the remote side. Each enclosure must be equipped with a base card. These provide either one or two video channels and two USB HID ports.

The upgrade modules transmit their signals through the base cards and do not require their own cable connection to the remote side. This saves infrastructure costs and space. Choose from a variety of interfaces such as USB HID, PS/2, embedded USB 2.0 with 36 Mbps, serial RS-232 or RS-422 data, bidirectional analog audio, and uni- or bidirectional digital audio. Combine the cards with the base modules in one enclosure as needed.

The DKM converter modules enable the connection of video sources with analog video formats such as component and composite or industrial formats like EGA, CGA, or MDA. For graphic applications, there are additional options for SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI. The converter modules convert the analog signals into digital DVI-D signals and transmit them loss-free over the distance.

The DKM FXC Switching Modules provide real space savings. They require two slots in the enclosure but offer eight ports and the full feature set of the DKM FXC matrix switches. If you use these modules in the transmitter enclosure, you can avoid purchasing a separate KVM switch and give your user access to eight computers with instant switching. Choose between two versions with either eight CATx or eight fiber connections.

The modular DKM extenders can be used as point-to-point extensions when the computer is located away from the user console. They offer the widest range of interfaces and the highest video quality, making them ideal for graphic users and users of specialized peripherals. In larger, switched expansions, the modular DKM extenders work seamlessly with the KVM matrix switches in the DKM FX and DKM FXC series. Combined with the DKM switches, you can establish a freely scalable and flexible switching system that integrates all resources within the company.
