Operator Workplaces, Separated from the Computers

KVM Development & Support – KVM-over-IP extenders and matrix systems

KVM-over-IP puts the computers in a protected equipment room and keeps video, USB and audio responsive at the operator’s desk, from a single Full HD workstation to 4K control-room matrices. SAT Solutions is partnering with KVM Development & Support GmbH (Baden, Austria), which continues the proven kvm-tec product lines, to bring these systems to industrial and critical operations in Thailand.

Why KVM-over-IP?

  • Protect Your PCs — Move computers out of dust, heat and noise into a controlled room while operators work at quiet, ergonomic desks
  • Extend & Route — Carry video, USB and audio over CATx copper or fiber, as a direct link or through networked matrix switching
  • Start Small, Scale Up — Begin point-to-point and grow into a centrally managed matrix of up to 1,000 endpoints (Full HD) or 2,000 (4K)
  • Real-Time Response — Full HD 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz with < 1.38 ms latency; 4K with < 0.47 ms
  • Built for Industrial Use — 24 V industrial focus, fanless compact enclosures, rack-integrable, USB 2.0 up to 480 Mbit/s

Copper (CATx) suits in-building runs; fiber suits long distances and electrically challenging areas. Always confirm distances and interfaces against the data sheet of the exact part number.


Featured: EASYLINE — Simple, Lean Full HD KVM Matrix

EASYLINE makes everyday KVM-over-IP projects easier: compact hardware, standard network components, Full HD, USB 2.0, integrated audio and practical switching functions. It delivers extension and matrix switching for up to 56 endpoints without an external Switching Manager, which suits control rooms, production desks and industrial workstations.

EASYLINE – six models: SmartEASY and MasterEASY, single/dual, copper/fiber
  • 6 models — SmartEASY (single/dual copper) and MasterEASY (single/dual, copper or fiber, with analog audio and redundant power/link)
  • 2 deployment modes — point-to-point, or matrix switching of up to 56 endpoints
  • 3 smart functions — Front Bridging, Back Bridging and Easy Cross Move (below)

Front Bridging — One Operator, Two PCs

Front Bridging: two PCs shown on two monitors from one remote dual extender

Two local extenders are bridged to one remote dual extender. The operator sees both PCs at the same time on two monitors and switches control by hotkey or mouse movement. No external KVM switch and no network switch are needed: 3 units and 2 cables.

  • Easy Cross Move — control both PCs with a single keyboard and mouse by moving the cursor across screens
  • Best fit: Main + Backup PC setups that need redundancy, such as broadcast and industrial automation

Back Bridging — One PC, Two Locations

Back Bridging: one industrial PC operated from the plant floor and from the control room

One local dual extender is shared by two remote single extenders, so the same PC can be monitored and controlled from two places:

LOCATION 1LOCATION 2WHY SHARE THE SAME PC?
Production floorControl roomOperators work locally while the control room can monitor and take over
Operator stationEngineering stationEngineers configure, commission and troubleshoot the same PC
Equipment siteService centerRemote service engineers access the PC for maintenance

KVM-over-IP + Leonton Industrial Network Switches

KVM Development matrices run on standard network infrastructure. Paired with SAT’s Leonton industrial network switches that support IGMP snooping, they form a compact, cost-effective KVM matrix. PoE-capable KVM versions are available, and fiber and copper versions can be mixed in the same system.
