To understand why GEFFEN considers HDBaseT to be so ideal for our KVM extenders in a wide variety of applications,it’s useful to take a look at the purpose of KVM Extenders. The main purpose of a KVM extender is to provide convenient,remote, high-speed access to a computer system located elsewhere, as well as the ability to control multiple remotecomputers if used in tandem with a KVM switch, with a single set of peripherals, over Cat 6/6a cables. In this way, inaddition to playing an important role in overcoming the bandwidth limitations of traditional interface-based cables(such as HDMI, for example), KVM extenders help to overcome the distance limitations of the protocols themselves (such as USB). Furthermore, KVM extenders can help to improve workspace ergonomics by locating PCs elsewhere so as to avoidheat and distracting fan or hard drive noise, and by allowing computers to be kept at secure locations or away fromharsh environments, such as factories and industrial areas. GEFFEN’s GF-TPHD141K HDBaseT support means that in addition to thesetraditional uses for KVM extenders, there are many more uses possible in a wide variety of AV Meets IT applications.With RS232, IR, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 enabled, HDBaseT allows pro AV vendors to send proprietary controls to be usedwhen their equipment is on both ends.
