Seperating "workstation" and CPU
I would like to put the keyboard, video and mouse in a different area than the CPU. I don't need a KVM switch, since VNC works just fine for me, but I would like them to be in two different rooms. I know there are dongles that convert the KVM signal to ethernet which works with the ip based KVM routers, but I don't need those capabilities. I also don't think it would be cost effective or smart to run long lines with regular KVM lines since that would probably be a great amount of signal degredation. I am wondering if you are able to use the dongle to convert the KVM to ethernet, and then back again using a dongle on the other end. If so, are there dongles that support audio as well?
Thanks for all your help! |

Your request makes no sense. If vnc is fine for you then why a kvm? if you don't want to use extenders or a kvm switch why don't you move the pc? IP kvm switches are more expensive then regular kvm switches.

Maybe I put too much information there...I want to be able to seperate my monitor, keyboard and mouse from the main cpu, I don't need to control multiple ones, there will be just one "workstation" for each cpu, thus I don't need a KVM switch. I just wanted to know what the best way to send the signal would be, since obviously I can't use vnc without a cpu to connect to the "main cpu". I just want to seperate the cpu and the monitor, keyboard and mouse in two seperate rooms to save room. Is this possible?

Sure thats possible. All depends on the length. I have a training room that has a 45 foot video cable. I would do a web search for cable extenders and see what is available. If you have a long distance you can always put a KVM in the middle to amplify the signal

Are there signal amplifiers that are inline, I need to run keyboard video and mouse through the wall, and burying a KVM in the wall doesn't seem like too good of an options
I don't know what to do. I was wondering if those dongle converters that converts the KVM to ethernet for kvm over ip solutions, will convert it back again. Thus I run the signal through the ethernet rather than trying to run KVM cables through the walls. |
