Can I use Dominion KX
II Computer Interface
Modules (CIMs) with
Raritan's analog matrix
KVM switch, Paragon?
Yes. Certain Paragon computer interface modules (CIMs) may work
with Dominion KX II (please check the Raritan Dominion KX II
release notes on the web site for the latest list of certified CIMs).
However, because Paragon CIMs cost more than Dominion KX II
CIMs (as they incorporate technology for video transmission of up to
1000 feet [300 meters]), it is not generally advisable to purchase
Paragon CIMs for use with Dominion KX II. Also note that when
connected to Dominion KX II, Paragon CIMs transmit video at a
distance of up to 150 feet, the same as Dominion KX II CIMs – not at
1000 feet [300 meters], as they do when connected to Paragon.
No. Dominion KX II computer interface modules (CIMs) transmit
video at ranges of 50 to 150 feet (15 – 45 m) and thus do not work with
Paragon, which requires CIMs that transmit video at a range of 1000
feet (300 meters). To ensure that all Raritan's customers experience the
very best quality video available in the industry – a consistent Raritan
characteristic – Dominion Series CIMs do not interoperate with
Paragon.
