The Smart-AVI DVN-16Pro is a 16-port KVM DVI-D video, USB 2.0, and stereo audio switch, for superior emulation on one display up to 20 feet away. It uses single link connectors providing high resolutions of up to 1920x1200 with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction. With its USB emulation technology, the DVN-16Pro enables immediate hotkey source switching through a remote USB keyboard and mouse.

Can be controlled remotely

The DVN-16Pro is a dynamic KVM console that can be controlled remotely from easily accessible keyboard hotkeys or RS-232 communication channel commands, as well as directly through the console’s easy to read front panel. The DVN-16Pro provides a simplified management approach up to 16 computers with DVI-D, audio, and USB 2.0 outputs.

EDID learning & programming

Detection of DDC signals for all attached devices is effortless with DVN-16Pro due to its EDID learning and programming. This is vital in optimizing the resolution of the selected graphics card to properly display on the remote monitor. Furthermore, the DDC learning feature continues to replicate the right EDID for the computer to enable the display card to effectively work when unused ports are not selected.

Full USB keyboard and mouse emulation

The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by DVN-16Pro provides accurate and quick source switching by means of keyboard hotkeys. The DVN-16Pro imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through its USB cable. This is essential as it simulates the existence of the keyboard and mouse to all the computers when switching out of a circuit.

Real-world applications

The DVN-16Pro has a broad range of applications, but the main function of this KVM switch is to centralize the access of several computers into one comprehensive PC. Not only does it function as a KVM console, it also supports USB 2.0 sharing functionality. This allows a user at the console to use USB devices that would otherwise be unavailable with conventional KVM devices. For example, it allows a user to use a flash memory drive or camera without having to plug it directly into the remote computer. The DVN-16Pro is a perfect solution for the medical or industrial field, where it may not be practical or safe to have one or more CPUs in the general vicinity.

• RS-232: Any external device or program supporting RS-232 can control the DVN-16Pro. The DVN-16Pro uses a very simple protocol, that enables easy integration with other devices.
• USB/KEYBOARD: Hotkeys enable the user to switch and control all the different functions of the KVM system.
• IR: Infrared remote control enables integration and control of the KVM switch.
• TCP/IP: SMTCP-2 is a SmartAVI optional TCP/IP converter that enables users to switch and control the DVN-16Pro control from anywhere in the world using a LAN or WAN connection.

Flexible sharing

Independent simultaneous Device Selection: Flexibility is key with the DVN-16Pro. It enables control of connected computers through independent switching of KVM and peripheral USB and audio ports. Users can listen to audio from one computer while accessing the hard drive of another and scanning a document from another. DVN-16Pro maintains the ability to switch all connected devices to any one of the computer sources as with any other KVM switch.
