KVM Switches

• What is a KVM Switch?

  A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch allows you to control multiple computers using a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

• What do I need to operate a KVM Switch?

  You need a KVM switch, cables to connect each computer to the switch, and a shared keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

• What is the best KVM switch for my configuration?

  The best KVM switch depends on your number of computers, video types (HDMI, DVI, VGA), and any additional features like USB sharing or audio support.

• Will I have to install any software on my computers?

  Most KVM switches do not require software installation; they operate independently of the operating systems on the connected computers.

• What is OSD (On-Screen Display)?

  OSD is a feature in some KVM switches that displays a menu on your monitor, allowing you to select and switch between computers using a graphical interface.

• What is Hot Key Switching?

  Hot Key Switching allows you to switch between connected computers by pressing a pre-set key combination on your keyboard, without needing to press a button on the KVM switch itself.

• Will my wireless peripherals work with KVM Switches?

  Yes, most KVM switches will work with wireless keyboards and mice as long as they are connected to the KVM switch’s USB ports.

• Can I use a KVM switch with multiple monitors?

  Some KVM switches support dual or multi-monitor setups, but you’ll need to ensure the switch you choose supports multiple video outputs for each connected computer.

KVM Extenders

• What is a KVM Extender?

  A KVM extender allows you to control a computer from a remote location by extending the keyboard, video, and mouse signals over long distances using Cat5/6 or fiber optic cables.

• How far can a KVM extender reach?

  Depending on the model, KVM extenders can transmit signals up to 330 feet using Cat5/6 cables, and even longer distances with fiber optic solutions.

• Do KVM extenders support high-resolution video?

  Yes, many modern KVM extenders support resolutions up to 4K, but be sure to check the specifications of the extender model to ensure it meets your video quality requirements.

• What is the difference between a KVM extender and a standard video extender?

  A KVM extender transmits not only video but also keyboard and mouse signals, while a standard video extender is typically used only for extending video signals.

• Can I connect multiple computers to a single KVM extender?

  Some KVM extenders are designed for use with multiple computers when combined with a KVM switch, allowing remote control of several computers over extended distances.

KVM Matrixes

• What is a KVM Matrix?

  A KVM matrix allows multiple users to connect to multiple computers, providing flexible access and control to various machines from different locations.

• What is the difference between a KVM matrix and a KVM switch?

  A KVM switch typically allows one user to control multiple computers, while a KVM matrix allows multiple users to access and control multiple computers simultaneously.

• Can a KVM matrix support mixed connections like HDMI, DVI, and DP?

  Yes, some KVM matrix solutions support mixed video connections, allowing you to integrate different video formats within the same system.

• How many users can control computers through a KVM matrix?

  This depends on the model, but some KVM matrices support dozens of simultaneous users, with various configurations for shared or private access.

• Do KVM matrices work over IP?

  Yes, some advanced KVM matrix systems can be IP-based, allowing users to connect remotely over a network, further enhancing the flexibility of the system.

Video Walls

• What is a video wall?

  A video wall is a large display system consisting of multiple screens tiled together to create one large, unified image. It is commonly used in command centers, digital signage, presentations, and event environments.

• What are the benefits of using a video wall over a single large display?

  Video walls provide superior scalability, allowing for larger display areas, higher resolution, and flexible content management. They also offer redundancy, as if one screen fails, the others will continue to operate.

• How does a video wall system work?

  A video wall system consists of multiple displays (LCD, LED, or other formats) controlled by a video wall processor. The processor splits or stretches a single video signal across the screens, creating a seamless large-scale image.

• What types of content can be displayed on a video wall?

  Video walls can display a wide range of content, including video feeds, graphics, real-time data, presentations, and interactive content. They can show a single image across all screens or different images on individual displays.

• What is the MXWall-Pro V2 video wall processor?

  The MXWall-Pro V2 is a hardware-based video wall controller capable of routing multiple video sources across a multi-screen video wall. It supports up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs, providing robust scalability and flexibility for large installations.

• What kind of video inputs and outputs does the MXWall-Pro V2 support?

  The MXWall-Pro V2 supports HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort video inputs, allowing compatibility with a wide range of video sources. It can output video in resolutions up to 4K UHD to each screen, ensuring crisp, high-quality visuals.

• How is a video wall controlled?

  The MXWall-Pro V2 can be controlled via a web-based interface, enabling users to configure, manage, and control content remotely from a PC, tablet, or smartphone.

• Can the video wall display different content on different screens?

  Yes, video walls can be set to display different content on each screen or stretch a single image across the entire array. Advanced systems like the MXWall-Pro V2 allow for flexible content management, providing full control over what appears on each display.

• What are bezel-correction features in video walls?

  Bezel correction adjusts the image to account for the physical borders (bezels) between screens in a video wall, ensuring that images and text appear seamless across multiple displays.

• What is the maximum resolution supported by the MXWall-Pro V2?

  The MXWall-Pro V2 can handle 4K UHD input signals and output them in full HD or 4K resolution across its connected displays, ensuring high-definition images on large setups.

  The MXWall-Pro V2 supports up to 64 displays in a single video wall configuration, making it suitable for large, complex video wall installations. It also offers flexible layouts for creative configurations.

• Does the MXWall-Pro V2 support video wall layouts other than the traditional grid?

  Yes, the MXWall-Pro V2 offers customizable layouts, so you can arrange your video wall in non-standard configurations, including creative layouts that are not bound by the typical grid structure.

• What is bezel compensation and why is it important?

  Bezel compensation ensures that the content displayed on the video wall aligns correctly, even with the physical gap (the bezel) between the screens. This prevents images from appearing distorted or misaligned when spread across multiple monitors.

• Is it possible to control a video wall remotely?

  Yes, systems like the MXWall-Pro V2 can be controlled remotely using software or a web-based interface. This allows users to change inputs, switch layouts, or modify content from any device connected to the network.
