KVM Extenders enable the transmission of video data over long distances, whereas KVM Switches provide connectivity between multiple sources and one set of screen and peripherals or vice versa. Both technologies act as a connection intermediary between one or multiple video sources and displays. Most of the latest digital KVM devices support EDID exchange, yet some analog VGA KVM devices may require special attention and if necessary additional help from EDID Ghosts (additional information below).
KVM devices supporting EDID management allow implementing it in one of three ways.
EDID is an important feature for your extenders because it:
Sometimes display problems occur because of signal strength issues, incorrect communication between the display and the source, or even missing EDID transmission support. To troubleshoot these situations, you can use an EDID Ghost. This unit enables copying, emulating, cloning and learning of EDID from a display. The EDID Ghost unit available from Black Box records and stores up to 15 different sets of EDID.
Black Box offers a range of EDID/DDC-compatible equipment as well as the EDID Ghosts. Contact us to find the right solutions for your applications
