LongView
Product Series
The LongView series extends a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, microphone, and serial port up to 150 metres away from the computer or KVM switch with one Category 5
(or higher) UTP cable. These extenders provide high quality audio, up to 1600x1200 noninterlaced resolution video, and support for a high speed COM serial port. LongView extends the connection to high speed COM serial devices such as touch screens, digitising tablets and serial printers. With LongView, you can place the system unit, software and sensitive data in a secure area to minimise tampering, system damage and unauthorized software installation.
KVM Extension Technology
LongView’s extension technology can control and operate a data centre's servers either locally or remotely from the computer lab down the hall. The LongView Companion allows for a second workstation to be located near the PC for convenient system maintenance. For access to multiple computers, use the LongView in conjunction with
Avocent switching solutions. Convenient flash upgrade capability provides flexible support for changing technology.
Video Expansion Technology
The LongView Companion also features video expansion technology. The video expansion technology extends a keyboard, mouse, speakers, microphone, serial port, and four high quality resolution video monitors up to 150 metres away from computer or KVM switch with one Category 5 (or higher) UTP cable.
