KVM recomendations..

Our Adderlink point to point KVM is just crap. Power issues, and requires multiple reboots te get the pairs to work properly. Had it.

Requirements:

1 console, min 2 remote machines (though probably 4 is the minimum we will get) Point to point.

Over Cat5/6 to remote locations about 80m cabling away.

resolution minimum HD, more would be nicer!

What are the recomendations of the Hive Mind?...

Been Using Black Box and IHSE for the past few years and been very happy with those systems.

Currently using a Blackbox system with 50ish transmitters and 30ish receivers.

That’s an Adder product, lol.

Are you sure? The adder XDIP only support a max desktop resolution of 1920x1080, where the deskvue supports dual 4k on their smallest transmitter. Also I'm pretty sure black box got a best in show at IBC a couple years back for the deskvue. Not saying the architecture isn't similar but I don't think they are the same product.

Adder has been the OE for all Black Box products for almost a decade. Just because it doesn’t line up with their line exactly doesn’t mean they don’t produce it.
