Long-distance DVI-USB fiber-optical KVM console extender
with audio, up to 12.4 miles (20km)
CE690 is a DVI optical KVM extender that overcomes the length restriction of standard DVI cables by using optical fiber to send high definition audio, video and control signals over long distance. It accepts audio-video stream from a local source and serializes the data to pass over a single 3.125 Gbps optical link (for resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, 24-bits), with picture perfect quality. It can also extend the keyboard/mouse remote control signals, as well as transfer RS-232 signals (up to 115kbps) in both directions, allowing you to connect serial devices, such as barcode scanners.
A USB port on the local and remote unit rear panels lets you connect a USB touchscreen panel device, which can access a computer connected at the local site. In addition, CE690's touchscreen support lets you take advantage of multi-point devices, such as 10-point multi-touch displays, which can be useful when dealing with highly interactive applications.
CE690 allows access to a computer system from both local and remote consoles (USB keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Because it allows access to a computer system from either the local or remote console, it is perfect for use in any type of installation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location - away from the dust and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a construction site, for example.
Furthermore, CE690 takes advantage of fiber optic cable technology for connecting the local and remote units, providing easy and quick installation and long-range extension of DVI signals. It also has a built-in 8KV/15KV ESD protection feature.
Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer system box; run the fiber optic cable up to 12.4 miles (20km) to the Remote Unit; and plug the remote console into the Remote Unit.
