Black Box Modular KVM Extender Transmitter – Single-Monitor, DVI-D, (2) USB-HID, 1G, (2) R

Engineered for demanding environments where reliable, scalable remote control is essential, the Black Box Modular KVM Extender Transmitter delivers crisp DVI-D video, responsive USB HID input, and flexible expansion in a compact, modular package. This transmitter is built to integrate seamlessly with a matching set of receivers, enabling secure, low-latency keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) extension over gigabit networks. Perfect for control rooms, data centers, laboratories, and industrial settings, it combines robust performance with straightforward deployment to keep critical operations running smoothly.

• The modular design is purpose-built for scalable deployment. Start with a single workstation and add receivers as your needs grow, without sacrificing performance or requiring a complete system overhaul. This flexible architecture helps you protect your initial investment while easily expanding coverage across rooms or halls as requirements change.
• Video fidelity is optimized for single-monitor setups through a DVI-D interface. Expect clean text, sharp graphics, and dependable color accuracy across longer transmission distances. Whether you’re monitoring dashboards, schematics, or high-density data feeds, the transmitter preserves clarity for fast, accurate decision-making.
• USB HID support is built in, with two USB-HID ports available for keyboards, mice, and compatible peripherals. This enables smooth local input at the remote workstations while keeping cabling simple and tidy. The optimized HID pathway minimizes latency, so operators experience immediate response during critical tasks.
• High-speed 1G transmission ensures low-latency operation across distances. The gigabit link is designed to deliver consistent performance for real-time control and synchronized peripheral input, making it suitable for environments where timing is essential and stuttering or input lag is unacceptable.
• Durable, enterprise-grade construction supports round-the-clock use in demanding settings. Its compact form factor makes it easy to mount in racks, desktops, or other constrained spaces, while the modular ecosystem helps you tailor the configuration to your exact workflow needs without compromising reliability.

How to install Black Box Modular KVM Extender Transmitter

• Plan your layout by identifying the KVM host system, the remote workstations, and the locations where you will place the receivers. Ensure there is a clear, unobstructed path for the DVI-D video cable and the USB HID peripherals, and verify that a stable power source is available for the transmitter and all receivers.
• Position the transmitter near the KVM host and connect the DVI-D video output from the host computer to the transmitter’s DVI-D input. Secure the cable to prevent accidental disconnections and route cables neatly to minimize clutter and potential interference.
• Connect the USB HID devices to the two USB-HID ports on the transmitter. If you plan to use keyboards and mice at multiple remote stations, prepare the appropriate HID peripherals and ensure they are compatible with your system to avoid driver or compatibility issues.
• Install or connect the receiver modules in the target remote locations. Attach the receivers to their respective displays and input devices, and ensure that each receiver is properly linked to the transmitter over the 1G path. Confirm that the video and input signals are being routed correctly to each remote workstation.
• Power up the transmitter and each receiver. On first use, perform a basic alignment test by displaying a test screen, verifying input responsiveness, and checking the integrity of the video feed across all connected workstations. If needed, adjust placement or cabling to optimize signal quality and minimize latency.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is a KVM extender transmitter, and what problem does it solve?
• A: A KVM extender transmitter is part of a two-piece system (transmitter and receiver) that extends keyboard, video, and mouse signals beyond the typical limited distance of direct cables. It enables centralized control of multiple remote workstations or displays, improving space efficiency, reducing cable clutter, and enabling operators to manage systems from a distant console without sacrificing input responsiveness or video quality.
• Q: How many USB HID devices does the transmitter support?
• A: The transmitter provides two USB-HID ports, allowing two HID devices such as a keyboard and a mouse to connect directly to the remote workstation path with low latency and reliable input reporting.
• Q: What video interface does this transmitter use?
• A: It uses a DVI-D single-monitor video interface, delivering clear and stable display output suitable for typical business dashboards, spreadsheets, and graphical applications.
• Q: How scalable is the system?
• A: The design is modular and supports multiple receiver modules, enabling you to expand from a single workstation to a broader, multi-location setup as your needs evolve.
