The Draco Vario product family is a modular approach to extenders that allows customization for most applications. Each extender option can be installed in one of the unique frame assemblies. Four frame types are available: 2, 4, 6, or 21 cards per frame. Each DVI extender supports high resolution video up to 1920X1200 and USB-HID signals for mouse/keyboard or other USB pointing devices. By maximizing data flow with our multi-stage compression algorithm, you can be sure of superb image quality and smooth playback of HD video signals. Several options are available for each module including analog or digital audio, USB 2.0, VGA inputs, and RS232 serial data transports. Cable distances up to 140 m with Cat X or 10 km with fiber cables can be achieved.
