Black Box ACR1020A-R KVM-Over-IP Matrix Dual-Head DVI-D USB 2.0 KVM Receiver

Product Description

The Black Box ACR1020A-R is a sophisticated KVM-over-IP Receiver designed to extend the reach of your computer control across an IP network. This receiver unit works in conjunction with a compatible KVM-over-IP Transmitter (sold separately) to enable remote access to a computer's keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions. It is particularly suited for environments where physical access to the computer is difficult or undesirable, such as server rooms, data centers, or secure facilities. The ACR1020A-R supports dual-head DVI-D video connections, allowing users to connect two monitors and experience a full dual-monitor desktop environment remotely, with resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz per display. Beyond video, the receiver is equipped with USB 2.0 connectivity, enabling the use of a wide range of USB peripherals, including keyboards, mice, touch screens, and even high-speed storage devices. This comprehensive peripheral support ensures that users have the full functionality of their local workstation available remotely. The KVM signals are transmitted over a standard IP network (Ethernet), leveraging existing network infrastructure for connectivity. This IP-based approach offers flexibility in deployment and scalability, allowing for complex KVM matrix configurations when paired with multiple transmitters and receivers. When integrated into a KVM-over-IP matrix system, the ACR1020A-R receiver allows a single user to switch between controlling multiple computers connected to different transmitters. Conversely, multiple receivers can access a single computer. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for control rooms, broadcast studios, industrial automation, and any scenario requiring centralized control of distributed computing resources. The ACR1020A-R provides a robust and high-performance solution for extending KVM control over IP networks, enhancing operational efficiency and security.
