Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DVI-I transmitter unit used for?
A DVI-I transmitter unit like the Orion XT extends video signals and peripheral control over extended distances using CATx cabling. It's commonly used in KVM extension systems, remote workstation setups, and distributed computing environments where you need to maintain video quality and USB device control across your facility.
Can the Orion XT transmitter work with VGA displays?
Yes, the Orion XT is DVI-I (VGA) capable, meaning it supports both digital DVI and analog VGA video signals. This flexibility makes it compatible with legacy displays and modern digital monitors, providing versatility for mixed-environment deployments.
How does USB-HID transmission work over CATx cabling?
The Orion XT transmitter integrates USB-HID support that travels alongside video signals through standard CATx infrastructure. When paired with a compatible Orion X receiver, this allows keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripheral commands to be transmitted reliably over the same cabling run as your video signal.
What are the advantages of CATx transmission for video extension?
CATx cabling offers significant advantages: it leverages existing network infrastructure, supports longer distances than traditional video cables, provides better EMI immunity, and simplifies installation in facilities already equipped with structured cabling systems. The Orion XT transmitter makes this technology accessible for video and control applications.
