Black Box ACS4001A-R User Manual

Welcome to the CATX DVI-D Family!
Thank you for purchasing a CATX DVI-D Switch! We appreciate your business, and we
think you'll appreciate the many ways that your CATX DVI-D system will save you money,
time, and effort.
The CATX DVI-D Switch offers three fundamental uses:
•
As a Multiplex Repeater: the DVI signals (+optional audio) coming from a signal
source are equalized and distributed on up to 7 equivalent outputs. A control is not
necessary. Distributed display systems can be realized (Digital Signage).
•
As an 8-port Crosspoint Switch: each port can be switched optionally as an input or
output. You can, for example, switch and distribute the signals from 3 signal
sources on up to 5 displays (allowing simultaneous presentations on several
displays). Alternatively, signals coming from 7 signal sources can be switched in
turn to a single display. The changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial
interface (RS232) and/or by a push-button at the device.
•
As a 7-port KVM Switch: up to 7 Singlehead ports (a "Singlehead" extender system
supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or up to 3 Dualhead ports (a
Dualhead extender system supports 2x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse). The
changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial interface (RS232) and/or by a
push-button at the device.
Cascade multiple devices in two stages for all applications to give up to 49/1 connections.
The CATX DVI-D Switch has the advantage that it can be positioned up to 140m away from
both your signal source and display device. This becomes possible by using the proven
CATX DVI-D- Extender technology for the transmission of DVI- Monitor and USB-
Keyboard and Mouse signals over CATx- cable.
The operation of a CATX DVI-D Switch always requires at least one Local Unit and up to
seven Remote Units from the CATX DVI-D-Extenders range.
