Vertiv Announces New Line Of High-Definition, IP-Based Signal Extender For Control Rooms In Asia Pacific

Vertiv HMX 3080/4080 IP-based KVM provides 1080p high-quality video with ultra-fast switching capabilities

Auckland [September 21, 2022] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today introduced the Vertiv Avocent HMX 3080/4080 series, an IP-based signal extender allowing users to remotely transmit Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video, audio, USB and RS232 signals over a Gigabit network. The product is available now, exclusively in Australia, New Zealand, Greater China, South East Asia, and India.

The Vertiv Avocent HMX 3080/4080 series joins the company’s high-performance IP-based Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) portfolio. It improves from the Avocent HMX 1080/2080 series with the below key benefits:

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Performance: Comprising transmitter and receiver units, each device is assigned a unique IP address to help mitigate KVM transmission losses.
• Flexible Architecture: The desktop-based Avocent HMX 3080/4080 offers multiple connectivity options. The receiver and transmitters can be directly connected using CATx and fibre cables. Using the integrated network ports, a single transmitter can be connected to multiple receivers or vice versa, and for connectivity redundancy.
• Virtual IP Matrix: With sufficient bandwidth and network switch ports, an IP matrix architecture can support up to 65,000 receivers in the same network.
• Ease of Use: Any receiver terminal in the network can autodetect and configure all the devices in the network.

The Avocent HMX 3080/4080 is ideal for control room settings in broadcast, emergency management, industrial, and energy organisations that require high-definition video and high-quality audio.
