Go farther and do more with the ServSwitch Agility KVM (DVI-D/USB/Audio/Serial) over Cat 6 IP Receiver from Black Box. Combined with a separately available local transmitter unit, this receiver enables you to extend DVI-D video, USB, USB 2.0, and audio signals via an Ethernet local area network. The Agility supports video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 and extends signals up to 330'—add optional network switches to go even farther. A power supply, a power cord, and four self-adhesive rubber feet are included in the package.
Flexible Topology
The flexible topology of the Agility allows for a variety of applications. The Agility can be a KVM switch, a sharing portal, or a DVI extender, depending on how you decide to configure it.
Point-to-Point KVM Extender
As a point-to-point KVM extender, use a Cat 6 cable to connect this receiver to a separately available transmitter to extend DVI, audio, and USB. You can configure this setup to go to multiple screens at one time or add more units for extended functionality.
KVM Matrix Switch
Turn your network into a KVM matrix switch with the Agility. Create a KVM switch with as many users as you want—just keep adding receivers. With mixed channels, combine video, audio, and USB devices from different destinations.
Single-Target Configuration
In a single-target configuration, multiple users can share a single remote computer. View Only shows only the video feed. In Share Mode, an open connection is available for all users to use the connected devices at the same time. In Exclusive Mode, one user locks out the other users, preventing them from viewing or sharing the connection, with the exception of network administrators.
Multicasting
The Agility system multicasts video and audio over an IP network to several receiving units. The installed network switch should feature Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping. This stops an IP switch from passing on multicast data onto every port, even if it's not part of the Agility system. IGMP snooping reduces the amount of traffic generated by Agility transmitter units that are configured for multicast operations, and prevents performance degradation and wasted network bandwidth.
Management System: iPATH
The optional ServSwitch Agility Controller Unit offers a management suite that enables you to remotely and securely configure all the transmitter and receiver units. Define new content channels, restrict and enable access privileges, push control, disable specific USB device classes, and perform other remote configurations.

Possible Applications
- Distribute high-quality medical images to doctors and staff across large medical facilities. Agility uses standard Ethernet equipment, so the networking hardware doesn't need to be updated.
- In command and control room setups, multicast video and data to receiver units between LCD display walls. Users can interact with any of the computers using separate keyboard, mice, and DVI displays.
- Media post-production suites become collaborative with the Agility. Machine rooms store the media assets and hardware, and can distribute them throughout a post-production facility. Editors, producers, and directors can instantly communicate with animators and colorists.
- Get real flexibility for your digital signage network. All you need is an IP network running through the installation, and you can easily deliver content from one playout device via DVI. The number of screens is up to you.
- For another digital signage application, use the Agility to switch between multiple video sources.
- Deliver rich media experiences in public spaces, such as museums or libraries. The flexibility of the system makes reconfiguring your implementation a snap.
