Give multiple KVM users fast, reliable access to high-quality, real-time digital/analog video—plus a whole host of peripherals across the enterprise—with the Enterprise DKM FX KVM system.
This chassis-based, modular cross point switching system allows switching and extension of video and peripheral signals over extremely long distances. Use it in any application where many users have to interface with CPUs and other high-end AV equipment supporting ultra-high-quality video. Plus, it works as video matrix switch.

Unbeatable Video Performance.
Using a non-blocking switch technology, the DKM FX processes and routes DisplayPort 1.2 resolutions up to 4K at 60 fps, HDMI/Single Link DVI up to 1080p and Dual Link DVI up to 2560x1600 with little or no delay of video—even at screens far away from the switching chassis itself.

What’s more, the DKM not only supports digital video , but also SDI, VGA and many other analogue video formats and connections to a wide array of peripherals, including USB HID, USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps), RS-232, RS-422, audio and even legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice. For multi-head or demanding graphic applications, there are connections with multiple video ports and high-bandwidth throughput available.

The DKM system is especially designed for enterprise networks and mission-critical control/command rooms, as well as video production or broadcasting applications where HD video is everything.

Add Users and Computers as required.
Many users can connect their KVM consoles to various sources (computers, CPUs, servers, Blue Ray players, etc.), either locally or in a distant room or office via the switch.

Consoles and computers are connected to the central DKM FX switch via the DKM extender units. The DKM Extenders have a fanless design and provide a zero noise to give you a quite work area. The DKM extenders offer a wide range of interfaces and transmit the signals over long distances. And they are very flexible. The DKM FX Matrix KVM Switch enables you to configure KVM switching and audio/video routing exactly as you require. Mix and match fiber and CATx ports through cards and SFPs plugged into its slots. You’re not limited in any way.

Advanced control
With the switch, you get a advanced controller card, which has USB keyboard/mouse and HDMI monitor connectors for local KVM administration. Dual TCP/IP-ports (RJ-45) offer redundant access to your network and a client machine that has the DKM FX Java tool installed. The card has a built-in CPU, you can control all functions from any console without the need for an external CPU or media control. However if you prefer automated control of your system, you can connect media controllers or other external RS-232 devices, too. What’s more - Genlock ensures video synchronization to combine multiple video sources without interruption or interference and LDAP supports provides you with an advanced user management. OS platform independent, the switch and its controller card can be accessed by Windows®, Linux®, and/or Mac OS® users.

Versatile switching capabilities.
Switching can be performed using an on-screen display (OSD), keyboard commands, or through a local serial console connection at the rack. You can also switch from a remote site via a DKM Extender. Or control it via a Crestron® or AMX® keypad controller plugged into the extender. No matter which route you choose, KVM switching can be shared with any other KVM user, connected directly or connected remotely through a DKM Extender.

Switches within milliseconds.
Users can switch seamlessly and almost instantaneously from source to another. It takes just milliseconds for this to happen (similar IP-based types of solutions can take as long as 15 seconds to perform this action).

Reduces downtime.
Modular in design, the DKM FX enables you to change peripheral and CPU connections on the fly and ensure zero downtime. Add or remove cards and SFPs in the slots and reroute inputs and outputs while the DKM FX system’s up and running. DKM Extenders and DKM switches give you dual power supply options for a full redundancy. Plus the configuration is not only held on the controller cards with redundant IP-access, but it’s also on each single I/O card.

Designed for easy expansion.
Add connections and change inputs/outputs as your enterprise needs evolve. When a department purchases new hardware, just slide a new interface card into the chassis. You can also cascade multiple DKM FX and DKM FXC switch chassis if you exceed the number of available ports.

Signal repeater capabilities are built in.
From its ports, the switch supports device-to-device single-mode fibre links up to 10 kilometers and CATx links up to 140m. The switch works as a repeater and essentially will be doubling the distance from end-to-end. The links can be to KVM users, DVI sources, servers, and/or various peripherals. You can even configure CATx on an input for output on fibre, or vice versa executed with all the previous mentioned configurations. This is often used to perform the computer-to-switch connections in the data center via short CATx cables, while connecting the users over long distance fibre cables.

Central Management.
All DKM components can be centrally managed and updated with the latest firmware. Using the offline configuration, administrators can define new settings, test them and add them later to the live system.
Nine configuration memories allow testing without harming the existing system settings. For complex switching processes, the administrator can pre-define macros and favorites that are later executed with a simple command.
The Force and Follow Mode allows the administrator to manage computers from any console connected to the system, while he is not available at his desk.
Finally the DKM system provides the option to configure “virtual CPUs”. This feature allows the instant switching to an identical group of computers in case of an emergency.
