OVERVIEW

The modular design of the Orion XTender allows users to extend desktop control of remote computers. Servers can be located in secure areas, with workstations placed a distance away.

With support for single-head or dual-head video, as well as for USB keyboard and mouse, or touchscreens, this modular and feature-packed product family can be configured for a multitude of needs.

Common applications include control rooms, broadcast studios, outside broadcast vans, concert and theatre venues, AV distribution, medical imaging, and other industrial or military uses.

Connect them point-to-point or connect them to an Orion X or Orion FX switch and route video, audio, and USB control to the desired destination. Source and destination video formats can be different, for example, DVI input and HDMI output.

A wide range of chassis sizes, with provision for redundant power, makes the Orion XTender a versatile product. Use the larger sizes where multiple sources are in the same location and use the smaller units to create control sites near the users.

Connection status LEDs located on the front panel indicates the operating status of the unit. The chassis are all rack mountable and for most chassis, all connectors are on the same side of the chassis for convenience and ease of access.
