USB KVM Switch (KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse) is a hardware system that allows users to entry a number of CPUs from a single or a number of USB keyboards, USB mice and VGA monitors. Reverse USB KVM Swap units work the opposite approach around the place one pc may be managed from multiple locations (USB keyboards, USB mice and VGA monitors).
These KVM Switch units are cascadable for control of up to 128 servers and have inbuilt OSD and eight character password protection. Available in desktop or rackmount version USB Change can help high decision as much as 1920 x 1440 as well as Native SUN decision 1152 x 900. USB KVM Switches are hot pluggable and require no shutdown of computers when doing maintenance. These models are perfect for any setting involving a number of computers together with knowledge centers, convention centers, banking centers, airports, inns, command room facilities, police and navy institutions, safety, government and commercial business.

Trinamic, the industry leader in embedded motion control systems, today announced its partnership with Actel Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTL) for complete motion-control systems. The two firms will combine the power and flexibility of Actel’s SmartFusionTM intelligent mixed signal FPGAs with Trinamic’s industry-leading driver ICs for stepper motors and brushless DC (BLDC) motors. The power of this combination is going to be demonstrated by Trinamic and Actel at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley.
Small motors are used in applications ranging from printers and appliances to advanced medical diagnostic equipment. These motors require drive electronics, and Trinamic has established itself as the world leader in this market. The systems also require a microprocessor, and in the past have needed so-called ‘glue’ logic – extra components to connect the microprocessor to the rest of the system. By combining FPGA technology with the proven ARM™ CortexTM-M3 and programmable analog, Actel’s SmartFusion family gets rid of the glue, saves cost, and reduces time-to-market.
Michael Randt, founder and CEO of Trinamic said that they could see a big future for motion-control systems based on SmartFusion devices. He further added that they had development programs underway for their own line of motion-control modules, and it was their belief that other system designers would see the advantages of combining Actel’s SmartFusion FPGAs and Trinamic’s devices.

The VGA to DVI-D converter is a hardware device that is used to convert a source VGA video signal to a DVI-D video signal. In other words, it allows you to convert the PC’s VGA video to a DVI-D video signal and connect it to DVI LCD display. The converter supports a wide range of resolutions such as UXGA (1600×1200), SXGA (1280×1024), XGA (1024×768), SVGA (800×600), and VGA (640×480). It is an ideal solution when you do not wish to replace your expensive video monitors and display adapters.
Video converter allows you to connect a video signal of a specific format to a display of a specific type that it’s compatible with. The different types of converters available are DVI-D to VGA converter, VGA to DVI-D converter, Multi Video digital converter, USB to DVI converter, HDMI DVI converter, HDMI RGB YPbPr Converter, HDMI VGA Converter and HDMI Converter Switcher. VGA to DVI-D converter allows the conversion of VGA analog signal to digital graphic signal; thereby allowing devices with digital DVI-D display to be connected to a computer with analog VGA output.
Multi Video digital converter is a bi-directional converter. It has S-Video (4 Pin miniDin) / Composite Video (RCA type) / VGA as inputs and it allows the connection of TV to PC or PC to TV with VGA / S-Video (4 Pin miniDin) / Composite Video (RCA type) inputs/outputs. HDMI DVI converter using the simple DVI to HDMI converter box allows the conversion of DVI to HDMI format. In other words, without having to upgrade the existing video configuration, it allows you to use an existing DVI video signal and displays it on a HDMI television or monitor. Covered by FCC, CE as well as RoHS certifications this device works on simple plug and play functionality. Equipped with the ability to automatically detect input resolution it can allow user selection of output resolution and refresh rate. Read more...
The HDMI Splitter is a hardware device that allows you to split and distribute a single HDMI video signal to multiple HDMI video display units simultaneously. In other words, from sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, D-VHS players and other HDTV devices, the HDMI video signals are replicated and distributed to multiple HDMI video display units. The splitter is available in various sizes ranging from 2, 4 and 8 ports. In order to form a larger distribution configuration of replicating and displaying HDMI video on many HDMI displays, multiple splitter units could be daisy chained or cascaded. The resolutions that the splitter supports are 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Some of the various advantages of these splitters are that they support HDCP compliant devices and work on simple plug and play functionality; also they use only a single cable to transmit video and sound while connecting the devices with HDMI output to the HDTV display. Since HDMI integrates both the video and sound signals onto a single cable, bulky VGA and audio cables can be avoided, thereby increasing space and reducing clutter.
The parent category, the video splitter encompasses a wide variety of splitter types that all serve the same function – split and replicate video from a single source to many displays. The range of splitters includes, VGA, S-Video, Composite, Component, DVI and HDMI. Although the VGA splitter has been the most common splitter used, digital HDMI technology has recently made HDMI splitters the most popular.
The HDMI splitter is a great invention that allows digital audio and video content and provides uncompressed image as well as sound clarity. It allows you to connect HDTV devices like DVD players, D-VHS players, set top boxes etc to two or more HDTV displays at the same time. The HDMI Distribution Amplifier is extensively used in business centers, small office, home office, conference rooms, and classrooms.
1U LCD monitors are hardware devices that significantly save space for your server racks and permit you to monitor your servers from a 1U slide out drawer. It supports resolutions from 1024 x 768 up to 1600 x 1200 depending on model type. It is available with a variety of options including: LCD screen sizes of 15″, 17″, 19″ and 20″; video connections such as VGA, DVI-D, Composite, S-Video, BNC; and Touch Screen (Resistive, Capacitive and Infrared). It has power options of 12V, 24V, and 48V DC and is designed to be compatible with IBM, HP, Dell, SUN Microsystems, and Mac.
The 1U rackmount LCD can be pulled out and flipped up easily for viewing. It resolves the issue of high cost incurred by the rack space which typical CRT or LCD monitors waste in terms of space and money. One of the latest models is our 20″ LCD in 1U with 1600×1200 resolution. These sliding rackmount units can remain open even when the rack door is closed for constant server monitoring. Additional LCDs available include the Wide Screen and Quad Screen versions that integrate neatly into only 1U of rack / cabinet storage space. Read more...
