KVM Switchboxes

Give multiple users fast, reliable access to high-quality, real-time digital video - plus a whole host of peripherals across the enterprise - with the top-of-the-line DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch system.

This chassis-based, modular crosspoint switching system enables you and others to switch and extend HD video, audio, and serial data over extremely long distances. Use it in any application where many users have to interface with CPUs and other high-end AV equipment supporting high-quality video. Plus, it works as a video matrix switch.

Using non-blocking switch technology, the DKM FX processes and routes DVI single-link resolutions, including Full HD 1080p, with little or no delay of video - even at screens far away from the switching chassis itself. The DKM FX also supports Display Port video signals up to 4K60.

What's more, it not only supports DVI-D digital video, but also VGA video and connections to a wide array of peripherals, including USB HID, USB 2.0, RS232, and IR devices, Wacom® tablets, and even legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice.

It's especially ideal for enterprise networks and mission-critical control/command rooms, as well as video production or broadcasting applications where HD video is everything. Many users can connect their KVM consoles to various multimedia sources (computers, CPUs, servers, etc.), either locally or in a distant room or office via the switch.

And it's very flexible. The DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch enables you to configure HD KVM switching and DVI routing exactly as you require. Mix and match fiber and CATx ports through cards and SFPs plugged into its slots.

With the switch, you get a controller card, which has USB keyboard/mouse and HDMI monitor connectors for local KVM administration; a dual RJ-45 port for interfacing up with your network and a client machine that has the DKM FX Java tool installed; and a serial port for control via an external RS232 device; and an SDI gunlock interface. Because the card has a built-in CPU, you can control all functions from any console without the need for an external CPU or media controller.

OS platform independent, the switch and its controller card can be accessed by Windows®, Linux®, and/or Mac OS® users.

Versatile Switching Capabilities

Switching can be performed using an on-screen display (OSD), keyboard commands, or through a local serial console connection at the rack. You can also switch from a remote site via a DKM or DKM FX extender. Or control it via a Creston® or AMX® keypad controller plugged into the extender. No matter the route, KVM switching can be shared with any other KVM user, connected directly or connected remotely through a ServSwitch DKM Extender.

Switches within Milliseconds

Users can switch seamlessly and almost instantaneously from the ServSwitch DKM FX Matrix KVM Switch. It takes just milliseconds for this to happen (similar IP-based types of solutions can take as long as 15 seconds to perform this action).

Reduces Downtime

Modular in design, the ServSwitch DKM FX enables you to change peripheral and CPU connections on the fly and ensure zero downtime. Add or remove cards and SFPs in the slots and reroute inputs and outputs while the DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch system's up and running.

Designed for Easy Expansion

Add connections and change inputs/outputs as your enterprise needs evolve. When a department purchases new hardware, just slide a new interface card into the chassis. You can also cascade multiple switch chassis if you exceed the number of available ports.

Want a switch for remote management of all your servers, network devices, and technology infrastructure? HPE KVM IP Console Switches can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers across two tiers from a single local console in cascaded environments. When tiered with additional HPE Console Switches with Virtual Media application installations and upgrades can be pushed to any server from the local console or remotely.

HPE KVM IP Console Switches along with the IP Console Viewer allows remote access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual Media allows a removable drive or ISO image to be remotely mapped to an attached server or a remote office.

An intuitive Local Console User Interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, security and upgrades that is the same as the On Board Web Interface (OBWI) used for remote management. Implement two-factor authentication to increase security in the data center with CAC compatibility.

Features

Improved Functionality, Performance, and Security to the Data Center

HPE KVM IP Console Switches provides Smart Card or Common Access Card (CAC) support to the server.

Tiering port. For companies requiring direct remote access in every rack can now aggregate local access to the IP Console Switches for a row of racks to a single console as well as at each rack giving them two local users.

New video compression allows 1600x1200 @ 60Hz or 1680 x 1050 @ 60Hz 16-bit color for remote sessions without impacting performance.

Access using SSH or Telnet compliant clients.

Up to (32) target server ports per switch for a wider range of rack density support.

Enhanced Remote Functionality for Quick and Easy Management

HPE KVM IP Console Switches includes full remote KVM functionality giving you remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance.

Remote virtual media-Easily load and update software and firmware from anywhere on the LAN or WAN when used with Virtual Media Interface Adapters.

iLO compatibility-Easily switch between remote KVM and iLO sessions directly from the IP Viewer software.

Robust Local Console User Interface

HPE KVM IP Console Switches displays all system-related information on the console monitor. Same look and feel as the remote On-Board Web Interface (OBWI).

Programmable Scanning-An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection.

Configuration NVRAM-NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if the unit loses power.

Password Protection-For protection against unauthorized users, the switch box provides a local password option for security purposes as well as individual user authentication and access rights for remote users.
