DRACO CPU SWITCH

The Draco CPU switch allows switching between eight VGA computers together with the respective audio and USB signals. The Draco CPU switch replaces eight traditional KVM extenders: Eight computers are connected by VGA cables to the CPU Unit which is further connected to a user workstation by one interconnect cable. The operator can access any of the eight connected sources from the console. The extender operates as an 8-input, 1-output KVM switch and includes front-panel LEDs to indicate the active computer. Analog VGA signals are converted to DVI-D within the extender and scaled using Draco vario image scaling which is ideal for modern, high-resolution monitors.

In addition, the Draco CPU switch comprises eight USB-HID/USB 2.0 embedded (36 Mbit/s) ports, as well as eight bidirectional analog audio ports. A further USB 2.0 port (480 Mbit/s) on the extender allows storage devices to be connected locally. An attached USB device is logged into the active computer making it possible to transmit data (e.g. important system updates) from a single USB device to all computers under control of the workstation.
