Welcome to the THOR Family!
Thank you for purchasing a THOR Small Switch! We appreciate your business, and we think
you'll appreciate the many ways that your THOR system will save you money, time, and
effort.
The THOR Small 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 Single-head ports (a "Single-head" extender
•
system supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or up to 3 Dual-head ports (a
Dual-head 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 THOR Small 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
THOR Extender technology for the transmission of DVI- Monitor and USB-Keyboard and
Mouse signals over CATx- cable.
The operation of a THOR Small Switch always requires at least one Local Unit and up to
seven Remote Units from the THOR Extenders range.
