OVERVIEW
The UltraLink E-Series is a scalable, high-performance KVM and AV extension and switching system. Transmitter and receiver units can connect directly to one another for a point-to-point extension, or they can link to a standard gigabit Ethernet switch to form a distributed matrix switching system. Create a scalable KVM matrix over IP delivering multiple video, keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0, serial, and audio signals.
The UltraLink E-Series delivers 4K60 4:4:4 UHD video performance and multi-display capabilities at unprecedented low bitrates. The extender is capable of transmitting 3840×2160 @ 60Hz to a single display, 3840×2160 @ 30Hz to two displays (dual-head), and 1920×1200 @ 60Hz to four displays (quad-head), all over a single Cat5e or fiber cable. Cat5e cable is standard or optionally upgrade to multi-mode or single-mode fiber. This product is available in dual-display or quad-display models. The stereo output is selectable between de-embedded or pass-through analog audio.
Transmitters are also available as PCIe cards for installation inside a PC chassis. The PCIe cards have mini DisplayPort and mini USB connectors. They do not have serial or audio ports.
Rose UltraLink Device Manager software is used to remotely configure, manage, and monitor all connected devices from a central location. Through an intuitive interface, discover networked transmitter and receiver units, manage connections, and setup device parameters. Assign memorable names to units to easily identify them, and create logical groups of devices to filter views and apply settings to multiple units simultaneously. The software operates using a secure communication protocol (HTTPS) for sending commands over the network.
For remote access from a KVM station, open the on-screen display (OSD) interface to select and instantly switch between host systems. Thumbnail previews of available and authorized computers are displayed within the OSD menu.
Rose KVM extenders help to centralize hardware in a server room to increase security, protect systems against environmental hazards, and reduce system noise and heat emissions. IP based systems that utilize commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) network switches also significantly reduce the cost of purchasing a scalable KVM matrix switching solution. The UltraLink E-Series extenders are ideally suited for process control, industrial automation, healthcare, transportation, military, government, broadcasting, education, and many more applications.
