Matrix Mode
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 point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint use, the installation requires a network switch with IGMP functionality.
Video Walls
ATEN’s KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM) 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:
