Overview
Alternately, you can access your local computer and an AMX matrix switch with the desktop user station for efficient, real-time use and management of connected servers and serial devices.
The AMX analog KVM switching system features full-system management with an advanced, Java-based administration tool, optimal video resolution and an on-screen graphical interface.
The AMX switch can operate over your existing UTP cable infrastructure and optional skew compensation ensures video quality is automatically adapted to cable type and length.
