2. KVM over IP Matrix System Components

The KVM over IP Matrix System lets you set up a matrix of workstations that access computers across a
network, with the flexibility to control and configure each connection.
KVM over IP Extenders

The KVM over IP Extenders (Transmitters and Receivers) are installed at computers/workstations, and are
configured via the KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM) to create connections between them over a LAN. This
allows extenders to bridge a connection between the workstation and the remote computer they access across
a network. Extender setups can be configured for one-to-one, one-to- many, many-to-one, and many-to-many
workstation-to-computer connections.

KVM over IP Transmitters
The KVM over IP Transmitters facilitate the secured transmission of A/V data over the network by connecting to source

components (computers, set-top boxes, media players, etc.) and converting the source device input into encrypted
network packets for delivery over the LAN. Depending on the model, source input can be VGA, DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI
up to 5K.

KVM over IP Receivers
The KVM over IP Receivers are connected to display devices (monitors, TVs, projectors) and receive the IP
transmissions from the network. Receivers decrypt the data and then convert the signals back to their original format
so the A/V content can be displayed at its optimum resolution on the connected display.

KVM over IP Matrix Manager

The KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM, the KVM over IP Matrix Management software) allows you to define
connections and manage, customize and control KVM over IP Extender pairings in a matrix configuration with
features such as auto-detection of KVM over IP Extenders, username/password authentication, switching and
sharing of connections, scheduling, permissions and more. Whether you're extending computer access for
monitoring, broadcasting, editing or workstation setup, the KVM over IP Matrix System gives you the flexibility
and control to manage one or hundreds of extended connections.
