Technical Architecture & Functionality
The Opticis KVMX-100-TR is a dual-head DVI optical KVM extender that carries two single-link DVI channels, USB HID (keyboard/mouse), RS-232, and bi-directional stereo audio over fiber.
Its defining trick is the built-in 2:1 KVM switch function: connect two PCs as hosts and select which one you control from either the local or remote side (video is still delivered to both local and remote displays). It’s designed for environments where the computers belong in a rack room, but the operator belongs somewhere quieter.
For distance, it supports:
- Up to 1.0 km (3,280 ft) over two (2) duplex LC single-mode fibers
- Up to 300 m (985 ft) over two (2) duplex LC multi-mode fibers
To simplify setup across mixed displays, it includes Auto-mix EDID programming, reading both local and remote display EDIDs and selecting the lowest common resolution for stable operation.
Key Engineering Advantages
Two PCs, One Console
Built-in 2:1 switching lets one dual-display console select and control either of two host PCs.
True Dual-Head Over Fiber
Run two single-link DVI displays plus keyboard/mouse as a complete operator station at distance.
Long-Run Flexibility
Choose up to 1 km on single-mode or 300 m on multi-mode using duplex LC fiber links.
Auto-mix EDID Stability
Reads local and remote display EDIDs and selects the common resolution to reduce setup headaches.
Full Control + Audio Transport
Carries USB HID, RS-232, and bi-directional stereo audio alongside video for integrated workflows.
Local Loop-Through Options
Local DVI and USB loop-through ports support nearby displays and keyboard/mouse without extra devices.
