System introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics



ORION LC switch. The

Orion LC is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to providing state-of-

the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The Orion LC has

proven to be a valuable investment for any business, big or small, that has a

need to switch and extend single or multiple DVI signals to a single or

multiple displays. The ORION LC’s flexibility allows you to switch and

extend 1 DVI video input signal to 7 outputs, 2 inputs to 6 outputs, 3 to 5, 4

to 4, 5 to 3, 6 to 2, or 7 DVI inputs to 1 output over CATx or fiber cable.

The ORION LC’s versatility makes it the perfect addition for selecting,

switching, or distributing video to a single or multiple stations. The unit can

be cascaded other units, increasing the capability to 49 accessible

computers.

The ORION LC unit can be configured to perform one of three different

functions. It can be configured as a Multiplex Repeater, a Crosspoint Switch

or a KVM switch.

As a Multiplex Repeater, the DVI video signals plus optional serial and audio

(See appendix C for serial / audio features) are equalized and distributed to

the video outputs. A single DVI source can be distributed to 7 screens, two

DVI sources to 3 screens, and 4 DVI sources to 4 screens.

The Crosspoint Switch feature allows you to switch each port as an input or

output port. For example you can distribute 3 video sources to 5 displays or

7 video sources can be switched in turn to 1 display.

The KVM Switch feature can be set-up to select and control up to 7 remote

computers from a single workstation; 49 remote computers in an expanded

system.
