These days,\u00a0<\/span>electronic<\/span> devices<\/span> are often already outdated a couple of weeks after you bought them. Within weeks, today’s top-notch device might be replaced be a new, more efficient<\/span> variant. This trend also applies to KVM devices. Therefore, alternating<\/span> signal<\/span> standards<\/span> can cause high costs especially when it comes to large KVM installations. In<\/span> such situations, it<\/span> would be helpful<\/span> to be able to<\/span> integrate<\/span> older analog<\/span> systems<\/span> into<\/span> current digital ones<\/span>. It was exactly this thought which led to the developmont of the Bridge function.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Bridge function works
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Connecting a digital KVM matrix switch with an analogue CATCenter NEO<\/a> matrix switch requires a VGA-CPU target module and a UCON<\/a> user module. The VGA-CPU target module is connected directly to the signal lines of the UCON user module.<\/p>\n

\"G&D<\/a>Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the OSD of a digital matrix switch to access the NEO target of the analogue CATCenter NEO matrix switch. All targets, even the analogue ones, displayed in a list.<\/p>\n
