Emerge® EMS Series

Avocent

The Emerge EMS series of VGA-over-CAT5 extenders features AV extenders for delivery of HD video and CD-quality digital audio across installations up to 1000' away.With newly added RS232 support, video display panels can be controlled and interrogated remotely, making the series appropriate for digital signage applications. The EMS2100T transmitter and EMS2100R receiver deliver point-to-point VGA video, audio, and serial data.With video performance up to 1600×1200 resolution and support of RS232, the units can apply a high level of signal compensation and brightness correction.Each receiver supports two displays and two audio devices and has integrated skew correction with a 300MHz bandwidth so it can counteract negative effects of the skew that can occur when extending video signals over distances. Another new model,the EMS2400T transmitter, extends a single HD video, high fidelity audio, and RS232 signal to four different receivers and supports a local port to connect a local screen, speakers, and serial device.This unit additionally supports cascading, enabling multiple transmitters to be linked together offering unlimited enterprise expansion.
