Aten KE Series - IP KVM Extender / Over-IP Matrix

Extender mode (One-to-One)

This is the simplest setup; using a single transmitter to receiver connection that extends a computer's distance from the keyboard, mouse and monitor. One-to-one setups can be directly connected by a Cat 5e/6 cable between two units - up to 100 meters (KE89xx & KE99xx models can also be connected via optical fiber cables for distances up to 10 kilometers).

You can also manage point-to-point connections, set up over a LAN with no distance limitations, by assigning each device an IP address.

Switching Mode (Many-to-One)

Many-to-One: With the KVM over IP Extenders you can configure how to share a computer when multiple users access it, with 4 modes: Exclusive (first user has control - others no access); Occupy (first user has control - others view only - when first is inactive - next user to move mouse takes control); Shared (all users have access and control at the same time); or View Only (no control - users can only view the video display).

* For point-to-multipoint use, the installation requires a network switch with IGMP functionality.

Splitter mode (One-to-Many)

One-to-Many: With the KVM over IP Extenders you can configure how to share a computer when multiple users access it, with 4 modes: Exclusive (first user has control - others no access); Occupy (first user has control - others view only - when first is inactive - next user to move mouse takes control); Shared (all users have access and control at the same time); or View Only (no control - users can only view the video display).

* For point-to-multipoint use, the installation requires a network switch with IGMP functionality.

Matrix mode (Many-to-Many)

Many-to-Many: Delivering the ultimate in flexibility and performance, in this mode the ATEN KVM Over IP Matrix System provides the ability to access, switch, share, and multicast computer resources among multiple KVM consoles across a network. This provides dynamic and flexible extender setups with superior video quality and smooth KVM operations without delays or lags. Utilizing network bandwidth efficiently and intelligently is paramount, particularly with video intensive applications for media post production, live video streams and monitoring control. Multicasting helps optimize network traffic by directing information to the designated receivers without increasing network bandwidth.

* For multipoint-to-multipoint use, the installation requires a network switch with IGMP functionality.

Video Walls & Command Centers

ATEN's CCKM KE Matrix Management Software allows you to create custom video walls. The KVM over IP Matrix System's multicast functionality means it is able to broadcast packets. When the network switch receives the packets, it simultaneously sends them to all of the designated KVM over IP Extenders in the installation for display:
