Function
The add-on module for USB 2.0 embedded plus RS232 and analog audio provides bidirectional USB 2.0 transmission, serial data and analog audio transmission to existing systems. USB signals are transmitted with a speed of up to 50/100 Mbit/s. The RS232 interface supports a fullduplex transmission. The signals are transmitted within the KVM data stream via the main extender module. No additional Cat X or fiber link is required.
Application
The module offers four USB ports on the CON side, each with 500 mA supply for various devices and applications. Many USB 2.0 devices such as mass storage, graphic tablets, touch screens and fingerprint sensors can be connected near the workstation and integrated into existing systems. Depending on the device, USB data is transferred in isochron dating or bulk process. The additional serial interface (RS232) includes hardware handshake. DCE devices may be connected to enable direct connection of devices such as touch screens or joysticks. The audio interface allows parallel, bidirectional stereo signal transmission. A line level input allows signal transmission from a sound card or any other line level devices. You can easily connect peripheral devices such as microphones, headsets or speakers.
De-embedding
Commonly used AV and broadcast signals, including SDI, HDMI and DisplayPort include both audio and video signals within a single cable interface. When extended to the analog audio module, the audio signals are maintained within the AV interfaces and additionally extracted and converted to analog audio for output on dedicated audio connectors. The module also allows for the conversion of digital audio signals from CPU add-on modules to analog outputs.
Installation
The Draco vario system allows flexible mounting of modules on all main modules and in all Draco vario chassis.
