Link redundancy ensures that if one connection path is interrupted, the system automatically fails over to a backup, minimizing disruption in environments where uptime is critical.
- Automatic failover
- Continuous operation
- Reduced downtime risk
Flexible Video Output
Support for both single-link DVI and VGA outputs allows integration with a wide range of monitors and displays, whether modern digital interfaces or legacy analog equipment are in use.
- DVI digital output
- VGA analog output
- Broad display compatibility
Peripheral Connectivity
Two USB ports enable direct connection of keyboards, mice, and other HID devices, providing full control over the source computer from the remote location without additional hubs.
- Keyboard and mouse support
- HID device compatibility
- Simplified cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This KVM extender receiver is suited for scenarios where computers need to be physically separated from user workstations or display screens. Its robust feature set addresses common challenges in remote access and centralized management.
In data center environments, it allows technicians to monitor and control servers from a centralized console room, reducing the need for physical presence at each rack. For digital signage networks, it enables content management from a secure location while displays are installed in public areas. Control rooms benefit from its ability to extend video feeds from surveillance or process control systems to operator stations without signal degradation.
Data Center Server Management
Extend KVM signals from server racks to a dedicated admin station, enabling efficient troubleshooting and maintenance without direct rack access.
Digital Signage Control
Remotely manage content playback on displays in retail stores, airports, or corporate lobbies from a secure central location.

FAQ
What video outputs does this KVM extender receiver support?
The ACX1MR-VDHID-2C supports single-link DVI for digital video output and VGA for analog video output. This dual compatibility allows it to work with a wide range of monitors, from modern displays with DVI inputs to older equipment using VGA connections, providing flexibility in various IT environments.
How does the link redundancy feature work?
Link redundancy provides a backup signal path between the transmitter and receiver units. If the primary connection experiences interference, damage, or disconnection, the system automatically switches to the secondary path without interrupting the video or USB signals. This ensures continuous operation in critical applications where downtime must be minimized.
What is the maximum video resolution supported?
This extender receiver supports a maximum video resolution of 2048 x 1152 pixels. This resolution is suitable for high-definition content, detailed graphical user interfaces, and professional applications that require clear, sharp imagery without compression artifacts or scaling issues.
How many USB ports are available, and what can they connect?
There are two USB ports on this unit. They are designed to connect human interface devices such as keyboards and mice, allowing full control of the source computer from the remote location. These ports support standard USB HID protocols, ensuring compatibility with most peripheral devices without requiring additional drivers.
What type of connectivity does this extender use?
The ACX1MR-VDHID-2C uses wired connectivity technology. This means it transmits video and USB signals over physical cables, which provides stable, low-latency performance compared to wireless solutions. Wired connections are less susceptible to interference and offer consistent signal integrity, essential for real-time control and monitoring tasks.
In what environments is this KVM extender receiver typically deployed?
This receiver is commonly deployed in data centers for remote server management, control rooms for monitoring surveillance or industrial systems, and digital signage networks for centralized content control. Its reliability and compatibility make it suitable for any professional setting where computers need to be accessed from a distance while maintaining high-quality video and responsive peripheral control.
