BlackBox ACX1MR-VDHID-C CATx DKM receiver card, DVI-I (DVI or VGA) plus USB HID for modular housing content_copy

This product is a modular DKM receiver card from BlackBox, designed for use in KVM extender systems. It serves as a receiver module in a modular KVM extension, where video and USB interfaces can be individually selected. The card is specifically designed for connection to a computer via CATx or fiber optic cables, enabling the transmission of video signals and USB peripherals over long distances. The DVI-I video connection variant supports both DVI and VGA signals, allowing flexible integration into existing systems. The card features two USB ports, standardly configured for keyboard and mouse, and can optionally be supplemented with transparent high-speed USB 2.0 ports to connect additional peripherals such as printers or storage devices.

Applications
This module is suitable for point-to-point connections, where a computer located remotely is operated via a KVM system. It can also be used as part of the DKM FX and DKM FXC KVM matrix switching systems to control multiple computers from a central console. The modular design allows adaptation to different requirements, such as in data centers, control rooms, or medical facilities, where a flexible and scalable KVM infrastructure is needed.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The card provides a DVI-I video connection, transmitting both digital DVI signals and analog VGA signals. This expands compatibility with older and modern monitors. The two integrated USB ports are intended for HID devices such as keyboard and mouse, enabling remote control of the computer. Optionally, a peripheral module can be added, providing transparent USB 2.0 ports (480 Mbps) to connect additional devices such as printers or storage devices directly to the console, without requiring control through the computer.

Technology Explained Simply
Transmission occurs over CATx cables or fiber optic cables, with maximum range varying by connection type. Distances up to 140 meters are possible over CATx cables, up to 1000 meters over multimode fiber, and up to 10 kilometers over singlemode fiber. The video bandwidth reaches up to 2.5 Gbps, sufficient to support demanding graphics applications, including Dual Link DVI with resolutions up to 2560 x 1600. The card is designed for use in modular DKM extender enclosures, enabling flexible configuration of transmitter and receiver modules.

Compatibility and Accessories
The module is compatible with various connection types: CATx cables as well as multimode and singlemode fiber optic cables. It can be used in various modular DKM extender enclosures, with the exact configuration determined by selecting the appropriate transmitter and receiver cards. The card is part of a system suitable for both simple point-to-point connections and complex matrix switch systems. Accessories such as additional peripheral modules can be optionally added to extend functionality.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves inserting the module into a modular DKM extender enclosure. The card is positioned at the console, with the connection to the computer established via the appropriate transmission medium (CATx or fiber optic). Connection options for video and USB are directly available on the card, enabling simple and quick integration into existing systems. Configuration is achieved by selecting the appropriate transmitter and receiver cards, with the card installed as a receiver at the user location.

Operational Advantages
The modular design allows customized adaptation to specific requirements without replacing the entire device. Support for various video formats (DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort) and USB options increases flexibility. The high video bandwidth of up to 2.5 Gbps ensures smooth transmission even at high resolutions. The long range over fiber optic cables makes the system suitable for large spaces or distributed locations. The warranty is 2 years under the Double Diamond™ standard.

The delivery includes the base module with the selected video and USB configuration, an optional peripheral module, and a user manual.
