System Architecture
The system is mainly divided into three parts: controlled terminal, display terminal, and KVM seat management terminal. Controlled terminal: used to connect to computers, servers, etc., input nodes through the network into network signals, and display them in any route within the network. At the same time, the nodes have terminal control functions, receiving control instructions from the KVM management terminal and the visualization control terminal for visualization control.
Display terminal: The display terminal includes projectors, TVs, various splicing screens, etc., the network output node restores and presents the signal of the network input node. The node has its own large-screen splicing, roaming, superimposing, and split-screen display functions, without additional the processing equipment can complete the multi-screen simultaneous display function. The output node is controlled by the KVM management terminal and the visual control terminal.
KVM management terminal: The system supports point-to-point management and centralized management, and the management mode and management content are set according to permissions.
System Construction
The actual construction is carried out according to the on-site situation, and a system with common functions is used as an example for illustration. This system contains:
User terminal: 2 seats (each seat includes 3 monitors, a mouse keyboard, a U disk), a set of 3*5 splicing screen, a system configuration PC;
Signal source: a business server with 4 graphics cards, 6 data servers, 2 video players, 2 operating PCs, and 2 network surveillance cameras. The 2 agents have different authority to operate the signal source. Agent 1 can control 1-3 of the business server and data server; Agent 2 can operate 4-6 of the data server and watch all video player signals. All signal sources can be displayed on the 2*3 splicing screen;
Transmission processing end: a gigabit network switch, 12 input nodes, 6 output nodes, 6 KVM output nodes, various types of transmission cables.
The system construction steps are as follows:
1）Connect the Signal Source
The business server has 4 graphics cards, which need to be connected to 4 input nodes via HDMI cables, and select one of them to connect to the USB control cable. The input node is connected to the network switch through a network cable;
Each data server is connected to the input node through HDMI cable and USB cable. Each video player is connected to a network switch through a network cable. All input nodes are connected to the network switch through network cables.
All network surveillance cameras are connected to the network switch through network cables.
The operation PC is directly connected to the network switch through the network cable
2）Connecting Seats
The two seats have the same configuration, each monitor is connected to the KVM output node through an HDMI cable, and the mouse, keyboard and U disk are connected to the KVM output node (the display screen connected to the mouse and keyboard automatically becomes the main screen). Each KVM output node is connected to the network switch through a network cable.
3) Connect Splicing Screen
Each splicing screen is connected to each output node through the HDIM cable, and the output node is connected to the network switch through the network cable. (Note: When connecting, start from the upper left corner and go to the right by pressing the output node IP address from small to large to connect)
4) Connect to The Control PC
Connect the system configuration PC to the switch through a network cable.
