System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics
®
Xtensys™ Video Extender.
The Xtensys Video Extender is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to
developing and providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding
workplace. The Xtensys Video Extender has proven to be a valuable
investment for any business, big or small, that has a need to switch and
display multiple video signals to remote locations. Using the Xtensys Video
Extender you can easily route any video input to any remote video monitor
with just a few simple keystrokes.
The Xtensys Video Extender system consists of an Xtensys CATx KVM
switch, up to 64 computers that provide the video sources, an Xtensys CATx
transmitter for each video source, and an Xtensys Video Extender unit and
monitor for each remote display needed (1 to 16). These max quantities
vary depending of the Xtensys CATx KVM switch model used. All
connections use industry standard CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 shielded or
unshielded, solid core twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45M connectors.
The total distance from the video source to the remote display monitor is
1,000 feet.
Installation only takes a few minutes since the Xtensys Video Extender
automatically sets up various parameters and functions based on your
system topology. There are no jumpers to set or knobs to turn. Parameters
like video gain, equalization, and color skew are automatically compensated
for and properly adjusted based on the length and type of CATx cable used.
The only cables needed are CATx cables to connect the Xtensys CATx
KVM switch to the computers and to the Xtensys Video Extender and
monitors. CATx cable can be ordered from Rose Electronics in 25 to 1,000
foot lengths.
