Designed to support those working from single or dual-screen workstations in modern control room environments, the XD612 extends HD video and enables users to take real-time control of their critical PCs and applications housed securely in remote or rarely accessed locations.
The XD612 combines dual-head KVM extension with support for MST functionality and local feed through connectivity to deliver a true ‘at the PC’ experience. By plugging in the extender, which operates with either a fiber or copper connection, and running through some simple configuration, users can get real-time access to full HD video, on single or dual monitors, from a remote location.
What is MST?
As the world adopts smaller devices, it is increasingly difficult to find devices with alternative ports like VGA, DVI, HDMI and computer cables. As a result, the Video Electronics Standards Association developed MST technology to facilitate the extension of desktops across various screens using a single DisplayPort™ cable.
In a nutshell, MST allows multiple independent displays to be driven from a single DisplayPort source device. The displays can either be connected to the source device via an MST hub, or to each other in a daisy-chain configuration using a single DisplayPort cable to link them. By daisy-chaining the displays, users can extend content across all monitors which delivers advantages across a variety of applications.
How do KVM and MST work together?
Well, by combining a KVM extender with MST, users can benefit from uncluttered simplicity, better visualize critical data in a more cost-effective way and achieve ultimate flexibility at the desktop.
