With the continuous development of information technology, the application prospects of distributed KVM systems are becoming more and more broad.
The distributed KVM system is a remote control system based on network technology that can realize real-time communication and control between multiple computers in different locations.
This is greatly convenient in areas such as computer rooms and monitoring rooms.

What is the KVM function?
KVM is the abbreviation of keyboard, monitor and mouse. The function of KVM in the controller is to switch the signal source of the transmitted video signal. It is a key device on the main console in the control center and is a device for selecting video image signals. . Simply understand it is to connect several computers, control them, select the video signal output of one computer, and control it through the mouse button.
This technology has many advantages and is widely used. First of all, in the entire computer room management, the traditional one-to-one control method has been changed, and a one-to-many management method has been adopted, which is conducive to saving space and improving work efficiency; secondly, the security performance of the host system has been greatly improved , and has long-distance transmission capabilities.
When connecting to remote users, the security performance is well guaranteed; when there are many servers, it is connected to other servers through digital switches and can be connected to remote users at the same time.
Control locally and remotely. In some large-scale system solutions, large-scale modular systems with simulated switch matrix functions can be used, which can allow end users to access hundreds or even more servers at the same time.
What are the characteristics of a controller with KVM function?
Save space
For these extremely fast-growing industries, the space originally used is relatively limited, and relocation will cause a suspension of services. In these cases, reducing the number of keyboards, mice, and monitors can free up a lot of space for the newly added servers.
Improve efficiency
It is impossible for an operator to connect a machine with a screen, and then go to multiple places to switch content in front of the machine.
This inefficiency will not only waste human resources, but is also unrealistic for the control center.
If the functions in the controller Multiple robots can be connected to several computer screens.
The operator only needs to sit in one place and use a set of keyboard, mouse, and monitor, which greatly improves the work efficiency of system operators.
Strengthen management
Improved work efficiency means that the network or data center is effectively managed, thereby improving the stability and security of these systems.
Save costs
Network operating costs, especially those of networks and data centers that must operate 24 hours a day, have gradually become a key factor in the success of network operators. At the same time, hardware and software costs, personnel costs and site costs are also the main components of the company's operating expenses.
Remote management
Remote maintenance and management of systems are also important issues faced by these large systems. It is impossible for system management and maintenance personnel to be on duty in the computer room 24 hours a day, but machine failure may occur at any time. Long-term instability of the system due to information traffic jam will greatly damage the image of the company or cause significant losses. . Remote management and maintenance of the system through remote keyboard, mouse and monitor are important means to ensure 24-hour uninterrupted and stable operation of the system.
Energy saving
Using the KVM function can avoid using multiple monitors, thereby reducing radiation, saving consumption of air conditioning, energy, etc., and creating a healthy, environmentally friendly and energy-saving working environment.
Visual OSD menu makes operation easier
Adopting a customizable human-computer interaction interface and a technologically-rich visual OSD menu, all signal source images and display images are fully visualized, enabling rapid switching and calling of local signals, making the operation more intuitive and faster.
Usage scenario
Control room:
Decision makers need to manage and observe information on multiple screens. A controller with KVM function can present multiple computer monitors to the decision maker's display, and the decision maker can control and control the operator's computer.
Command room:
The commander needs to monitor the required information in real time. The operator is responsible for displaying some content on the scene on the video wall. The signal comes from the surveillance camera or the operation source on the scene, and then inputs it to the operator's computer screen. The operator can Use the keyboard to control by switching between multiple computer screens.
Power control room
Power engineers can control and monitor the operating status of these devices in real time, diagnose problems, and perform repairs and operations away from the equipment.
Remotely manage data centers
Electric power companies usually need to manage a large number of computers and servers in data centers to monitor and manage the company's business and data. To remotely access and control equipment in the data center through the network, thereby improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
iSEMC controller can control LCD,LED, DLP video wall, can transmit multiple device receiving sources to the screen, of course, also includes KVM function, the operator only needs a computer screen, mouse and keyboard, you can achieve the operation.
In the control room, KVM implementation solutions include:
(1) Equipment layout: According to the needs of the command center, cameras, microphones, keyboards, mice and other equipment are reasonably arranged to ensure that each seat can be easily operated and used.
(2) Network construction: Build a stable and fast network environment to ensure the stability and smoothness of audio and video communications.
(3) System integration: Integrate the distributed KVM system with other systems in the command center, such as video surveillance, alarm systems, etc., to achieve information sharing and collaborative work.
(4) Training and maintenance: Provide training to users so that they can master the operation and maintenance methods of the system to ensure the stable operation of the system.
Final thought
In the application of command centers, the distributed KVM system can realize collaborative work between different seats and improve the efficiency and accuracy of command and dispatch.
In the future, the distributed KVM system can also be integrated with more information systems to achieve more intelligent and efficient command and dispatch.
