Do you have a question about the SmartAVI DVX-2PS and is the answer not in the manual?

The SmartAVI DVX-2P is an advanced KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extender designed to provide seamless extension of DVI-D video, USB 1.1, stereo audio, and RS232 signals over a single CAT6 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable. This device is ideal for environments where computers and peripherals need to be separated by significant distances, offering flexibility and efficiency in various professional settings.

Function Description

The primary function of the DVX-2P is to extend multiple signals from a source computer to a remote workstation. It consists of a transmitter unit (DVX-2P-TXS) and a receiver unit (DVX-2P-RXS). The transmitter connects to the source computer, capturing DVI-D video, USB, audio, and RS232 data. These signals are then converted and transmitted over a single CAT6 STP cable to the receiver unit. The receiver, located at the remote workstation, reconstructs these signals, allowing users to connect a monitor, USB peripherals (like a keyboard and mouse), speakers, and RS232 devices as if they were directly connected to the source computer.

This extension capability is particularly useful in scenarios where the computer needs to be kept in a secure, climate-controlled, or noise-isolated environment, while the user operates from a different location. The DVX-2P ensures that there is no compromise in signal quality or performance, providing a smooth and responsive user experience even over extended distances.

Usage Features

The DVX-2P offers a range of features that enhance its usability and adaptability across various applications:

Extended Reach: The device can extend signals up to 220 feet (approximately 67 meters) over a single CAT6 STP cable. This impressive range makes it suitable for large offices, industrial facilities, and educational institutions where long-distance signal transmission is required.
High-Quality Video Transmission: It supports DVI-D (Single-Link) video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, ensuring crisp and clear visual output. This makes it suitable for graphic-intensive applications, CAD/CAM, and video editing, where visual fidelity is paramount.
USB 1.1 Connectivity: The DVX-2P extends USB 1.1 signals, supporting a data rate of 12 Mbps. This allows for the remote connection of essential USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and other low-bandwidth devices. The receiver unit is capable of providing remote power up to 500 mA to connected peripherals, which can simplify cable management by eliminating the need for separate power adapters for some devices. However, for certain applications or high-power peripherals, an external power supply might be required for the receiver.
Stereo Audio Extension: The device supports stereo audio transmission, enabling users to connect speakers or headphones at the remote workstation. This is crucial for applications involving multimedia, communication, or any scenario where audio feedback is necessary.
RS232 Serial Communication: The inclusion of RS232 extension allows for the remote control of serial devices, such as touchscreens, projectors, or other specialized equipment. This feature is particularly valuable in industrial control, automation, and presentation environments.
Simplified Cabling: By utilizing a single CAT6 STP cable for all signal extensions, the DVX-2P significantly reduces cable clutter and simplifies installation. This not only makes the setup cleaner but also potentially reduces installation costs and time.
Plug-and-Play Operation: The DVX-2P is designed for straightforward installation. Users simply connect the source computer to the transmitter, the remote peripherals to the receiver, and then link the two units with a CAT6 STP cable. The system is generally ready for use once all connections are made.
Versatile Applications: The DVX-2P is highly versatile and finds applications in various industries. In the film and music industry, it's perfect for recording studios and editing stations that require isolation of noisy computer equipment. In medical environments, it allows display monitors and workstations to be kept away from sensitive medical equipment. For data centers and server rooms, it enables users to access CPUs from a remote workspace, enhancing security and operational efficiency.

Maintenance Features

The DVX-2P is designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, ensuring long-term, trouble-free operation:

Durable Construction: The device is built with robust materials, ensuring durability and resilience in various operating environments. This contributes to a longer lifespan and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Onboard Flash for Upgrades: The transmitter unit features onboard flash memory, which allows for future firmware upgrades. This ensures that the device can be updated with new features, performance enhancements, or compatibility improvements as they become available, extending its useful life and protecting the investment.
Minimal User Intervention: Once installed and configured, the DVX-2P operates autonomously with minimal need for user intervention. Its reliable signal transmission and robust design mean that users can focus on their tasks without worrying about connectivity issues.
Standardized Connectivity: The use of standard DVI-D, USB, 3.5mm audio, RS232, and CAT6 STP connectors simplifies troubleshooting and component replacement. If a cable or peripheral needs to be replaced, readily available standard components can be used.
External Power Supply: The system includes two external power supplies (PS5VDC2A), one for the transmitter and one for the receiver. This ensures stable and dedicated power delivery to both units, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and reliable operation, especially over long distances.
Clear Indicators: While not explicitly detailed, most professional-grade KVM extenders include LED indicators for power, link status, and signal activity. These indicators provide quick visual feedback on the operational status of the device, aiding in rapid diagnosis of any potential issues.
Technical Support Availability: As a product from SmartAVI, users can typically rely on technical support for assistance with installation, configuration, or troubleshooting, ensuring that any issues can be resolved efficiently.

In summary, the SmartAVI DVX-2P is a powerful and flexible KVM extender solution that addresses the challenges of remote computer access by providing reliable, high-quality extension of video, USB, audio, and serial signals over a single, cost-effective cable. Its robust design, versatile features, and ease of maintenance make it an excellent choice for a wide range of professional applications.
