The three video formats of the extenders (VGA, DVI y HDMI) can be exchanged between sender and receiver on the same network, allowing for an easy multi-format system integration method. Each sender can also connect to multiple receivers when set to broadcast mode to deliver the same source to multiple destinations. Until 16 Senders and receivers can be used in a single network system.

This product range has been expanded with the new DVI KVM over IP with local DVI output, that carries DVI, USB, RS- 232 and analog audio over a Gigabit local area network. Supports resolutions up to FullHD 1080p and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). The receiver is equipped with a DVI loop-out output so that users can install a local display on the computer side for video control.
