System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics Orion XTender, a high-performance, long distance, multifunction digital KVM Extender. The product increases the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its console (display, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices). It is compatible with CATx (Twisted Pair) interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables. The fiber models of the Orion XTender are especially suitable for environments with high electromagnetic activity, where electromagnetic interference can affect maximum distance and signal reliability.
The modular structure of the Orion XTender product family accommodates a variety of applications by offering the flexibility of customization. Each extender card can be installed in one of four unique frame assemblies: 2,
4, 6, or 21 cards per frame. The DVI and HDMI extenders support high resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 @
60 Hz, Full HD (1080p) and 2K HD (2048 x 1152). USB-HID signals for mice, keyboards or other USB pointing devices are also extended. A multi-stage compression algorithm maximizes data flow and provides a consistently clear image for HD video signals. Several options are available for each module, including analog or digital audio, USB 2.0, VGA inputs and RS232 serial data transmission. Extension distances up to 460 ft
(140 m) with CATx cables or 32808 ft (10 km) with fiber cables are supported.
The system consists of two components: a Transmitter and a Receiver. The Transmitter connects to a computer’s DVI-D video output, USB keyboard and mouse ports, USB 2.0 device ports, audio input/output connectors and a serial port. The receiver can connect directly to DVI-D video displays, USB keyboards and mice, USB 2.0 devices, powered speakers, a microphone and/or serial device. Depending on the model, the
Transmitter and receiver are connected with industry standard CATx or fiber cables.

Embedded Upgrade Cards
Embedded Upgrade cards are cards that provide additional functionality. Unlike the standalone Upgrade cards, they do not have interconnect ports, and are not meant to be used by themselves. They are stacked on top of the DVI and HDMI video cards to provide additional functionality such as analog audio, digital audio, USB 2.0, serial or PS/2. The available embedded upgrade cards are shown below.

INDICATORS
Status LEDs
The Orion Xtender cards shown in the previous section are equipped with Status LEDs. These indicators provide a visual output of working and fault conditions. This section describes the various indicators and the conditions they represent.
Video Cards
The Status LEDs on the Single-Link DVI-D, Dual-Link DVI-D, DVI-I (VGA) and HDMI video cards are described here. Cards with redundant links merely have two sets of the same Status LEDs, one for each link.
All the video cards have three common LEDs. Each link port has two Status LEDs to indicate the connection status. In addition, they all have a multi-colored LED (LED 3 in the figures below), which indicates overall status. This LED is duplicated on the front panel of the unit as well (not shown below). On the Dual-Head /
Dual-Link cards, there are two LEDs for the overall status on the rear panel (LEDs 3 and 4), one for each channel.
The DVI-I (VGA) card has an additional Status LED on the front panel of the Transmitter only, which indicates connection status. HDMI Receiver cards with Local Video In have an additional Status LED on the rear panel to indicate the status of the locally connected source (LED 4 on that card).

OPERATION
Operation
Operation of the Orion Xtender is very simple and straightforward. In most instances, once installed, no further configuration is needed. Certain functions are available for further customization, if desired. These functions are described in this section.
The files needed to configure the Orion Xtender units reside in the data area of the units. To access this area, connect the service port of the Transmitter or Receiver unit to a computer using a USB mini cable. The data area of the unit is now accessible as a flash drive " Extender ".
Transmission Parameters
The Orion Xtender system uses its own unique compression. In usual circumstances, the Transmitter and
Receiver units adapt dynamically to the monitor’s resolution and image content. This configuration is suitable for almost all conditions.
In cases where the image quality is not satisfactory, there can be dropped frames, loss of single pictures or
for more details.
Command Mode
The Orion X has a Command Mode that allows users to perform several functions through keyboard commands during normal use.
To enter Command Mode, use a 'Hot Key' sequence, and to exit Command Mode, press <Esc>. While in
Command Mode, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs on the console keyboard will flash repeatedly.
In Command Mode, normal keyboard and mouse operation will cease. Only selected keyboard commands are available.
If no keyboard command is executed within 10 seconds after activating Command Mode, the extender will automatically exit Command Mode.
The following table lists the keyboard commands to enter and to exit Command Mode, and to change the 'Hot
Key' sequence:
Keyboard Command
2x <Left Shift> (or 'Hot Key')
<Esc>
<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>,

Table 14.Hot Key' Options
Set user-defined 'Hot Key'
When setting a user-defined 'Hot Key' (e.g. 2x<Space>), ‘Hot Key’ Code 0 is used. For example, to set
<Space> as the ‘Hot Key’, the following keyboard sequence would be used:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>.
Reset ‘Hot Key'
In order to set a ‘Hot Key' back to the default settings of the extender, press the key combination
<Right Shift>+<Del> within 5 seconds after switching on the CON unit or plugging in a keyboard.
DDC Settings
By default, data from the factory preset internal DDC information is communicated to the video source
(computer, CPU). If these settings are not optimal for the display device, the DDC information of the console monitor can be downloaded and stored internally.
Alternately, for certain special requirements, the DDC information can be retrieved and uploaded as a binary file to both the CPU Unit and the CON Unit. Both these options are described below.
Downloading DDC Information from Console Monitor
On all KVM Extenders with USB-HID support, the user can load the DDC information of the console monitor using a keyboard command while the extenders are in operation.
1. Enter Command Mode with the 'Hot Key', as described above.
2. Press the <a> key to download the DDC information from the console monitor. The screen will go blank for a short time. Command Mode ends and the keyboard LEDs return to their previous states.
3. Restart the video source (computer, CPU). The video mode will be readjusted, and the screen quality should be optimal. The CPU should now show the console monitor as the current screen, together with its available video resolutions.
This operation can be repeated as necessary if the console monitor is changed.
Orion Extender Installation and Operation Manual 48
Working with the DDC Information File
The DDC information file, “ DDC-EDID.bin
”, can be found on the “ Extender ” flash drive, as described at the beginning of this section.
Retrieving DDC Information
Copy the " DDC-EDID.bin
" file from the flash drive of the Transmitter unit to the computer. To open the binary file, a suitable software program, e.g. WinDDCwrite, should be installed. Care should be taken that valid information is entered in the file, or the unit may not function correctly.
Uploading DDC Information
Copy the modified “ DDC-EDID.bin
” file to the flash drive of the Transmitter unit or Receiver unit. This replaces the DDC information in the unit.
Reset to Factory DDC Information
Delete the " DDC-EDID.bin
" file on the flash drive of the Transmitter unit. By deleting this file, the factory DDC
Information is restored.
USB-HID Ghosting
The USB-HID Ghosting function allows specific keyboard and mice descriptors (device descriptions) to be permanently stored in the Transmitter. This eliminates the need to register and deregister the keyboard and mouse on an operating system each time there is a shared use of a source (computer, CPU) by two or more
KVM consoles.
The following table lists the ‘Hot Key’ commands use to configure the USB-HID Ghosting function:

Orion Extender Installation and Operation Manual 49
Configuration File
The Transmitter and Receiver contain a configuration file, “ Config.txt
”, to set specific parameters and to read out device and video information. It can be found on the “ Extender ” flash drive, as described at the beginning of this section.
The configuration file can be edited with all common text editors.
Figure 38. Sample Configuration File
Notes:
1. Once a parameter is modified, the extender must be restarted for the setting to take effect.
2. To ensure correct identification and acceptance of the parameters, the start command #CFG must be written in the first line of the " Config.txt

Table 18. Configuration File Settings Required by Both Transmitter and Receiver
Shared Operation of Redundant Interconnects on Transmitters
On Transmitters that have redundant interconnects, situations may arise where multiple Receivers simultaneously attempt to control the Transmitter by using the keyboard and/or mouse on the Receiver.
The Configuration File , described on page 50 , specifies a
RELEASETIME setting to resolve this situation. This setting specifies the length of time in seconds of keyboard and mouse inactivity after which another Receiver’s keyboard and mouse can take control of the Transmitter.
Open the “ Config.txt
” file, which can be found on the “ Extender ” flash drive, as described in the beginning of this section. Activate the release time function by adding the RELEASETIME=n setting in the second line of the file, where n is the time in seconds before the Receiver gives up control. It can take a value from 0 to 9. For example, a setting of RELEASETIME=5 sets the release time to 5 seconds.
If the RELEASETIME setting is not found in the file, it is set to 2 seconds by default. Use the
RELEASETIME=X setting to deactivate this function.
Once the needed changes have been made, save the “ Config.txt
” file and reboot the unit so that they can take effect.
Note: When the Orion Xtender is used along with a KVM matrix switch, the RELEASETIME function is deactivated on the extenders, and is handled instead by the switch.
Shared Operation of Redundant Interconnects on Receivers
Conversely, when working with Receivers that have redundant interconnects, keyboard commands can be used to manually switch between two active connections. This is helpful to perform a 2:1 switching operation if there are different Transmitters connected to each interconnect.
The following keyboard commands are available to switch between the Transmitters.
Keyboard Command
<'Hot Key'>, <k>, <1>, <Enter>
<'Hot Key'>, <k>, <2>, <Enter>
Function

Note:
The serial interface only supports one connected device per upgrade module.
Orion Extender Installation and Operation Manual 61
Analog Audio Interface
The analog audio option supports bidirectional stereo audio transmission, at near CD quality . The audio interface is a 'line level' interface and it is designed to transmit the signals of a sound card (or other 'line level' device), as well as to allow the connection of active speakers to the Receiver unit. Stereo audio can be transmitted in each direction at the same time.
Connecting a microphone:
Connect the microphone to the Audio input of the Receiver unit. There are two ways to establish this connection:
The output of the Transmitter Unit is connected to the microphone input of the sound card (red). Adjust the sound card to provide an additional amplification (20 dB).
The output of the Transmitter Unit is connected to the audio input of the sound card (blue). Choose this connection if the microphone has its own pre-amplifier.
The Receiver Unit can also supply pre-amplification of a microphone. Open the Receiver Unit, locate the MIC jumper on the audio board and close the pins.

Digital Audio Interface
The digital audio option supports the unidirectional transmission of digital audio data. Up to three sources can be connected to the Transmitter unit. The active source is transmitted. If several sources are active simultaneously, the XLR signal takes priority; otherwise, the first active signal does. All three connectors on the
Receiver concurrently provide digital audio.
Embedded Upgrade Cards with the digital audio option include a built-in sample rate converter which provides predefined sample frequencies at the Receiver’s output. The user can directly set the following parameters by
using the Configuration File as described on page 50 .
Activate or deactivate sample rate converter in the Config.txt file on the flash drive of the KVM Extender.
If the sample rate converter is activated, the following characteristics are valid: 140 dB dynamic range and -120 dB total harmonic distortion + noise.
Set the frequency of the sample rate converter by adding the SRC parameter. The following sample frequencies are available:
32.0 kHz (add SRC32000 in the “Config.txt
” file of the Transmitter unit)
44.1 kHz (add SRC44100 in the “Config.txt
” file of the Transmitter unit)
48.0 kHz (add SRC48000 in the “Config.txt
” file of the Transmitter unit)
96.0 kHz (add SRC96000 in the “Config.txt
” file of the Transmitter unit)
Additionally, a delay can be set for converting the sample rate. The time is set in milliseconds and separated from the parameter for the sample rate by a semicolon (e.g. SRC44100;12 ). The following delays can be set up for the sample rates:
32.0 kHz: 3 - 60 ms
44.1 kHz: 2 - 44 ms
48.0 kHz: 2 - 40 ms
96.0 kHz: 1 - 20 ms
To deactivate the sample rate converter, write SRC_NONE in the “Config.txt” file of the Transmitter unit.

Interconnect Cable
The cables used to connect the Orion Xtender Transmitter and Receiver units are to each other, and to the
Orion X and Orion XC matrix switches are described here.
CATx
A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an Ethernet Hub, Router or Matrix, is not allowed.
Avoid routing Cat X cables near power cables.
Notes:
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded Cat X cable must be used throughout the interconnection link.
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all Cat X cables should have ferrites installed on both cable ends close to the devices.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The Orion Xtender requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solidcore (AWG24), shielded, Cat 5e (or better) is recommended.

Supported Peripherals
This section describes the support for USB peripherals.
USB-HID Devices
Orion Xtenders with USB-HID support normal operation of the vast majority of keyboards and mice currently on the market. Many other kinds of HID devices such as bar-code scanners and touch screens may also be compatible.
It is not possible to guarantee support for all available USB-HID devices. In some cases, custom firmware may be required. USB-HID devices that do not operate correctly on extenders with USB-HID support will usually work correctly with the extenders featuring transparent USB 2.0 support.
USB 2.0 Devices
Orion Xtender models featuring a transparent USB 2.0 connection use a proprietary technology which supports most types of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee compatibility with every device on the market. Please contact Rose Electronics if any issues are found.
