KVM extender DVI over IP that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, DVI monitor) over an intranet. The Extender allows the connection of a DVI screen at each end.

It has a transmission unit that connects to the computer, and a reception unit that allows access to the console from a remote location. Access to the computer is from the remote console via a TCP/IP network connected via a Cat5e cable that allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and point-to-multipoint management. It is useful for use in any type of installation where you need to place the console in a convenient location, but where you want the computer to be in a safe place, away from the keyboard, mouse, and screen being used. As a Matrix Extender you can connect one or more computers to consoles in a variety of ways: one to one (Extender mode), one to several (Splitter mode), several to one (Switch mode) or several to several (Matrix mode).

The Matrix Manager software offers advanced username/password authentication functions, automatic detection of all KE6900 devices on the same subnet, and defines connections that can be switched and shared. The new security features also offer additional protection, supporting 128-bit AES encryption, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD, or remote user authentication technologies offer an additional layer of connection security. Equipped with on-screen menus, RS-232 and Auto MDIX support, it is the most cost-effective and convenient way to have a full digital extension from anywhere on the intranet.
