Description DVICenter
The KVM matrix switch DVICenter enables the operation of 1 - 63 computers over
63 - 1 simultaneous user modules depending on the chosen variation. The up to 64 available ports can be combined as desired.
Configured with e.g. 16 consoles, it is possible to connect up to 432 computers to the system.
A working system consists of at least:
- 1 × central module DVICenter
- 1 × computer module DVI-CPU
- 1 × user module DVI-CON
- 2 × CAT transmission cable (type 5e, 6, 7)
The DVICenter switches the following signals:
- Keyboard/mouse [PS/2 and USB]
- Video [DVI Single-Link]
- Audio
The DVICenter is available as DP16, DP32 and DP64 variant.
DVICenter DP16
- 16 ports for any number of user
and computer modules - Max. 108 computers when expanded
with four consoles, for example
DVICenter DP32
- 32 ports for any number of user
and computer modules - Max. 1,372 computers when expanded
with four consoles, for example - Max. 216 computers when expanded
with eight consoles, for example
DVICenter DP64
- 64 ports for any number of user
and computer modules - Max. 2,744 computers when expanded
with eight consoles, for example - Max. 432 computers when expanded
with 16 consoles, for example

- Firmware expansion for preparing the switching over network (IP-Control-API)
Dynamic Ports
- The DVICenter dynamic ports can be configured as computer or user port
- freely configurable number of computer and user ports
Network / Communication
- Access protection and user administration can be switched off
- Auto-recognition and display of the system structure
- Two network ports
- Configuration over web interface
- Central update of all DVICenter components over network
- Support of AMX Crestron control
Security
- Failover connection (if the central module fails, you can establish a direct connection between user module and computer module and still operate the system). This feature is provided with a cable length of max. 140m.
- Support of external authentication via LDAP, Active Directory, TACACS+, Radius
- Redundant power supply
Monitoring | SNMP
Function: receive DVICenter status info
Operation over: web interface/SNMP
Efficiency: 1 cluster
The DC-Monitoring feature enables you to detect the system status of G&D devices.
The web interface of the particular device provides information that can be sent (SNMP trap) or queried (SNMP GET) as well.
Both monitoring function and SNMP trap and agent are included in the scope of supply.
The information section shows the device's configuration settings and the detected status values.
Among others, the following status values can be monitored:
- Main power supply
- Redundant power supply
- Temperature
Status changes (e.g. power on/off) and exceeding defined
threshold values (e.g. temperatures) highlight these values
in red in the web interface. On the basis of defined parameters,
the device also notifies the administrator.
Use
Thanks to its dynamic ports, the DVICenter can be applied in any applications where many computers are operated over multiple simultaneous consoles.
The system's modular design enables you to adjust the DVICenter's functions to any increasing demands.
The system is applied, e.g., in control centres, OB vans, or studios.
