Summary
The best method to evaluate KVM products is to compare them in actual use and read hands-on re-
views. If the manual does not provide all the answers and online resources prove unreliable, contact a
knowledgeable manufacturer’s tech support to gain the knowledge.
Network administrators tend to bypass the critical value and importance of the “V” in KVM. Video
resolution, when fully optimized, gives IT administrators more fl exibility to confi gure and position a
KVM switch strategically within a server room or enterpriseclass data center. The key to video resolu-
tion lies in understanding the technical specs behind the technology and parameters for the best use
– especially for IP KVMs.
To demystify the specs, Switch A would almost certainly be sharper at any given resolution, and would
provide usable video to a greater level resolution than the initially ‘better specifi ed’ Switch B.
Minimum Video Bandwidth (in Megahertz, approximate) for clear imaging
At various refresh rates and screen resolutions. Bandwidth over 200 MHz is
needed primarily for higher video resolutions, but 100 MHz is barely adequate
for many modern computing environments.
