Adder X-DVIPRO-US – Single-Link DVI USB KVMA CATx Extender

Product Overview

The Adder X-DVIPRO-US is an AdderLink X-DVI PRO transmitter and receiver pair that extends uncompressed single-link DVI video, USB and audio up to 50m/164ft over a single CATx cable. As a zero-latency DVI KVM extender, it relocates critical computing hardware into a secure, temperature-controlled environment while the operator keeps a true at-the-PC experience. With uncompressed digital video extension over CATx and broad USB 1.1/2.0 low and full-speed device compatibility, it is a straightforward solution wherever pixel-accurate video and real-time control are required at short-to-medium distances.

Product Description

Unlike compressed extension systems, the X-DVI PRO distributes digital video uncompressed and in real time: no visible artifacts and no latency are introduced, so operators can be certain of both image quality and control response. Video, USB 2.0 (low and full speed) and audio all travel down one CATx cable, with achievable distance dependent on video resolution, cable type and the number of connection intervals up to the 50m maximum.

USB handling uses Adder's method of USB communication to deliver high levels of compatibility: all USB 1.1 and 2.0 low/full-speed devices are supported, covering keyboards, mice and a wide range of interface peripherals. Analog audio carries a CD-quality stereo channel — 16-bit sampled at 44.1kHz — from the local to the remote line out, and the extender also supports HDMI video and audio extension capabilities with eight channels of HDMI digital audio carried simultaneously alongside the analog path (using an HDMI/DVI-D cable such as Adder's VSCD11).

Deployment is simple: install the transmitter at the computer, run a single CATx cable, and place the receiver at the console. For higher-density installations Adder offers the ALAV-RMK-CHASSIS rackmount chassis. The X-DVI PRO suits point-to-point positions where a full IP KVM system is unnecessary but uncompressed quality matters — control desks, presentation lecterns and equipment-room separations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the X-DVIPRO-US include both ends of the link?
Yes. The part number covers a pair including the transmitter and receiver units.

Is the video compressed?
No. The X-DVI PRO extends uncompressed digital video in real time with zero latency, so the remote image is identical to the local output.

Can I extend an HDMI source?
Yes, for video and audio within single-link limits: the extender supports HDMI video and audio extension, carrying eight channels of HDMI digital audio, using an HDMI-to-DVI-D cable such as Adder's VSCD11.

What affects the maximum distance?
Achievable distance up to 50m depends on the video resolution, the CATx cable type and the number of connection intervals in the run.

Which USB devices are supported?
All USB 1.1 and 2.0 low and full-speed devices, which covers keyboards, mice and standard interface peripherals. High-speed-only devices such as some storage drives are outside the low/full-speed specification.

Can multiple units be rack mounted?
Yes. Adder's ALAV-RMK-CHASSIS (sold separately) houses multiple units; contact Creation Networks for configuration help.
