Small Form Factor KVM over IP
The Agility ZeroU KVM Transmitters are small form factor KVM dongles that enable KVM switching and extension over an existing or dedicated LAN while consuming virtually no rack space (Dimensions: (L) 110mm/4.3" x (W) 55mm/2.17" x (D) 25mm/1").

Pair with Agility receivers to enable matrix connections between any number of remote user workstations and computers that are securely stored in your server room.

USB-Powered
ZeroU Transmitters can be powered over USB from the connected server or optionally via an external PSU. They require Zero U of rack space and it easily retrofits into existing infrastructure. This leaves plenty of space for whatever else you need in your rack.

Beautiful, Clear Picture Quality
Deliver pixel-perfect digital video: The transmitters support video resolutions up to 1080p at 60 Hz (VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI models) or dual-link up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DisplayPort or HDMI models). The transmitters' no-loss compression minimizes bandwidth use while maximizing user experience.

Take Control With USB 2.0
To provide latency-free control of your computers and all connected devices, the ZeroU transmitters support USB 2.0 Full and Low Speed HID devices such as mice, keyboards, graphic tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, or 3D explorers at up to 50-Mbps. Their extended USBr functionality makes sure your remotely connected USB devices are recognized as if they were directly connected to the computer in the server room.

Digital Audio Support
The transmitter dongles support USB stereo audio (bi-directional) as well as embedded video standard stereo audio (uni-directional).

Designed for Mission-critical, 24/7 Applications
Don't worry about your KVM system going down in the most pressing situations. The transmitters feature power redundancy, support link redundancy from the receiver units, and support the KVM system manager hub/spoke topology (primary/backup system) to ensure your KVM installation works when you need it most.

The DKM FX Modular Extender System is comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots and transmitter and receiver interface cards. The DKM FX extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

These new DKM FX components are part of a modular system. You will need to contact Black Box to have them assembled to fit your application. For consultation on your DKM FX setup, call our FREE Tech Support.

The DKM HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switching System is comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots and transmitter and receiver interface cards. The DKM extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

These new DKM components are part of a modular system. You will need to contact Black Box to have them assembled to fit your application. To configure your DKM HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch setup

• Configure your network for a point-to-point extension, KVM switching, single-target sharing, or multicasting.
• Features keyboard/mouse emulation, and emulation for other standard Human Interface Devices (HIDs), such as touch screens or flash drives.
• Distance is only limited by your network capabilities when you use network switches.

The flexible topology of the Agility gives you several extension option applications for KVM extenders. The Agility can be a KVM switch, a sharing portal, or a DVI extender; it's up to you and how you decide to configure it.

As a point-to-point KVM extender, use CAT6 cable to connect a transmitter and a receiver to deliver perfect DVI, audio, and USB. You can configure this setup to go to multiple screens at one time or add new units for additional functionality.

Turn your network into a KVM matrix switch with the Agility. Create a KVM switch with as many users as you want - just keep adding receivers. With mixed channels, combine video, audio, and USB devices from different destinations.

In a single-target configuration, multiple users can share a single remote computer. View-only shows only the video feed. In Share Mode, an open connection is available for all users to use connected devices at the same time. In Exclusive Mode, one user locks out the other users, preventing them from viewing or sharing the connection, with the exception of network administrators.

The Agility system multicasts video and audio over an IP network to several receiving units. The installed network switch should feature Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping. This stops an IP switch from passing on multicast data onto every port, even if it's not part of the Agility system. IGMP snooping reduces the amount of traffic generated by Agility transmitter units that are configured for multicast operations and prevents performance degradation and wasted network bandwidth.

Management system: iPATH
The ServSwitch Agility Controller Unit offers a management suite enabling you to remotely and securely configure all the transmitter and receiver units. Define new content channels, restrict and enable access privileges, push control, disable specific USB device classes, and perform other remote configurations.

Possible applications:

• Distribute high-quality medical images to doctors and staff across large medical facilities. Agility uses standard Ethernet equipment, so the networking hardware doesn't need to be updated.
• In command and control room setups, multicast video and data to receiver units between LCD display walls. Users can interact with any of the computers using separate keyboards, mice, and DVI displays.
• Media post-production suites become collaborative with the Agility. Machine rooms store the media assets and hardware and can distribute them throughout a post-production facility. Editors, producers, and directors can instantly communicate with animators and colorists.
• Get real flexibility for your digital signage network. All you need is an IP network running through the installation, and you can easily deliver content from one playout device via DVI. The number of screens is up to you.
• For another digital signage application, use the Agility to switch between multiple video sources.
• Deliver rich media experiences in public spaces, such as museums or libraries. The flexibility of the system makes reconfiguring your implementation a snap.

KVM over IP (Matrix Switching and Sharing)

Easily switch and extend your KVM system over a LAN. The transmitter connects thousands of users and computers over your existing IP network. And it supports single or multi-subnet installations.

Beautiful, Clear Picture Quality and USB Support

Delivers perfect digital video: The transmitter supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200 depending on the monitor. It also supports USB 2.0 Full and Low Speed.

Minimal Bandwidth Usage

Not hard on your network or users. The transmitter's no-loss compression minimizes bandwidth use while maximizing user experience.

Designed for Mission-Critical, 24/7 Applications

Don't worry about your KVM system going down in the most pressing situations. The transmitter features power and link redundancy and support for manager hub/spoke (primary/backup) to ensure your KVM system works when you need it most.

Won't Clutter Your Rack

Leaves plenty of space for whatever else you need in your rack. The transmitter requires 0U of rack space, and it easily retrofits into your existing infrastructure.
