Avocent Corporation
today introduced the Emerge™ DM2000 Desktop Manager,
the industry’s first Ethernet-based digital KVM switching
solution for the broadcast and post-production workstation
market. The Avocent digital switching solution delivers unlimited
distance over Ethernet for greater flexibility in the video
editing suite, and DVI video support for rich media production.
The Avocent Emerge DM2000 desktop manager together with the
Avocent Emerge ECMS2000 extender provide digital workstation
switching, allowing virtualized access to broadcast and post-production
video editing systems. The solution provides digital KVM,
audio, USB switching and extension with advanced support for
extension of USB mass storage devices and widescreen resolutions.
“Avocent continues to lead the industry
in broadcast KVM switching systems through innovative offerings
that meet the demanding needs of the broadcast and post-production
environment, ” said Mitch Friend, senior vice president
and general manager of Avocent. “The Avocent KVM switching
solutions for broadcast greatly enhance the value derived
from high-end digital video editing suites.”
Based on gigabit Ethernet and highly optimized
extension technology, the Avocent ECMS2000 extender and the
DM2000 desktop manager products provide the image quality
and responsiveness associated with distance-limited analog
KVM switches and the unlimited distance benefits previously
only available through KVM over IP switches. In addition to
near lossless video and snappy mouse response these third-generation
network-based products deliver CD quality audio and seamless
extension of USB mass storage devices.
The Avocent Emerge DM2000 desktop manager
operates within the boundaries of a typical IP network and
does not require any special infrastructure. Avocent KVM switching
and extension solutions enable users to put the editing systems
or servers in the machine room and extend the keyboard, monitor,
and mouse out to the graphics suite. Not only can users extend
the keyboard with the Avocent products, users can allow multiple
keyboards located in different studios to switch between multiple
editing systems. The Emerge DM2000 manager includes support
for widescreen video resolutions up to 1366 x 768.
The MSRP for the DM2000 desktop manager
is $4,495 and the ECMS2000 extender is $1,595. The new Avocent
Emerge DM2000 desktop manager will be available for purchase
later this month.
