Overview
The LongView and LongView Companion
Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) Extender allows
you to extend the distance from your computer to
your VGA monitor, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse,
stereo speakers, microphone and serial port device.
All of these signals are extended up to 500 feet
(152 meters) using a single inexpensive and
commonly available Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable - the type used in most
Local Area Networks.
In addition to the extension capability, the
LongView Companion model allows two users
(one local user near the computer and one remote
user up to 500 feet away) to share a single computer.
(Sharing is when two users can view and control
the actions of a single computer.)
LongView and LongView Companion are the first
KVM extenders to include support for serial port,
speakers and microphone using a single Category
5 cable (patents pending), and are by far the simplest
to install. Advanced Cybex technology (patents
pending) provides automatic compensation for
different cable lengths, video resolutions and COM
serial port data rates. There is no software to
install - LongView works with your PC just like
your regular peripherals.
LongView consists of a Transmitter placed near
the computer and a Receiver placed near the user’s
monitor. Versions are available with and without
audio capabilities (speakers and microphone).
