Local Console Transmitters
Description
The CatX Universal Tx controls local access to a PC or KVM switch when used with any one of the CatX Console or CatX Supervisor receivers. When the transmitter console is in use, the remote receiver will automatically switch off the VGA output at the remote PC, preventing an operator from viewing any screen activity while an administrator is accessing the system from the transmitter console.
These KVM extenders include an audio link allowing the use of speakers and a microphone from either the Tx or the Rx unit.
There is no additional software requirement and the CatX Universal Tx does not require an external 5VDC PSU to operate as it takes its power from the local PC.
All the CatX units in the KVM Range output SVGA up to 150 m or 300 m depending on the receiver unit in use within the system. Higher resolutions are achievable at shorter distances – see Resolution / Distance.
