New line of Video Splitters allows sellective port output controls
ConnectPRO to Release VSC line of VGA Video Splitters
ConnectPRO is pleased to announce that it has released a new line of VGA video splitters, which add to the functionality of their existing high quality and professional grade Video Splitters.
The all new VSC line of splitters will, just like their VSE predecessor, provide high resolution 400MHz video bandwidth to each port, along with support for DDC/EDID information. In addition to those specs and features which are now standard with ConnectPRO video splitters, the VSC line will provide individual port control--allowing outputs to be toggled on and off in order to split video from the source selectively out to connected displays, projectors, etc.
The VSC-102 and VSC-104, the two and four port models respectively, are available for pre-order immediately. Contact a ConnectPRO representative for further details.

Special edition DDM KVM switch firmware announced
ConnectPRO to Release Firmware Supporting Logitech's MX Series
ConnectPRO has announced an update to their existing line of PLUS series KVM switches which feature ConnectPRO's patented DDM (Dynamic Device Mapping) technology.
The update comes in the form of "special edition" firmware, which provides added stability for USB HID devices, as well as compatibility for other USB wireless devices, which have historically been problematic with a broad array of KVM switches from many different manufacturers. ConnectPRO is proud to announce that in addition to specifically providing a Logitech SetPoint compatible KVM, they now have added support for Logitech¡¦s MX series of serial keyboard and mouse devices, as well as a variety of other wireless Bluetooth devices, which include dedicated USB receivers.
This update will apply to all PLUS version models incorporating the DDM technology, which provides full USB-HID transparency effectively mapping a keyboard and mouse to each connected system. This provides greater stability for switching between systems, and faster response times, as the individual computers need not to re-enumerate your devices. DDM technology also allows stable control of USB touch-screen displays, without having to deal with constant re-calibration. In addition to the DDM ports, there is an additional USB 1.1 port for any USB devices to be shared, which do not conform to USB-HID standards.
Firmware for the UR-14+, 4-port USB/VGA KVM switch is available immediately, with all other models to be available within the next week. Contact a ConnectPRO representative for further details.

New KVM Extenders models announced
ConnectPRO Plans to Release Two Models of their DDM KVM Extender
ConnectPRO has announced plans that they will now release two versions of their KVM extender over Cat-5 type cable. Originally intending to release one model, ConnectPRO will now make available two separate models of their EOC-KVM extender.
The base level EOC-KVMUS model will provide full support for VGA video and USB HID extension for up to 1000¡¦ over Cat-5 cable. This provides excellent means for custom length extension to provide wired remote access to a server or server rack stowed away, in a basement server room, or sealed off in a secure location.
The separate model, EOC-KVMUSA offers all the benefits of the previous, but with a separate mode that allows you to, with the flip of a switch, provide solely audio and video extension. This is ideal for AV professionals whose needs might adapt from needing full control of a system, to only requiring Audio and Video to be pushed to a remote projector and speakers. Both models feature ConnectPRO's patented DDM technology.
With ConnectPRO's patented DDM technology, the communication between shared devices and connected systems is maintained 100% of the time. DDM applies to KVM extenders, ensuring full USB-HID transparency between local and remote ends, so there is no loss in functionality with keyboards, mice, and touch-screen monitors. Touch-screens can be connected to the USB/Serial KVM extender and calibrated one time, and then work reliably as the DDM ensures the touch-screen remains stable and functional. DDM technology along with another patented dual-core KVM distribution switching technology has become the most reliable and robust KVM core technology in the world.
ConnectPRO¡Xwith offices in Southern California, New York, and Taiwan¡Xhas been offering quality professional I.T. and A/V solutions since 1992 while being committed to a high level of reliability and customer service.

New Table and Demo Videos Available
Confirming DDM Compatible Devices
June-On opens up a go-to page for compatible USB peripherals proven supported by June-On's KVM switches featuring the USB DDM technology. The benefit of Dynamic Device Mapping (DDM) is that the KVM switch is able to recognize precisely what USB HID devices you have connected, and then map those to each computer. That means at any given time, all connected computers recognize that those particular devices are connected. There's no lag time when switching ports, no need for Windows or Mac OS to re-detect, or initialize the USB devices when you switch to that computer. It works seamlessly.
The problem has been that some device manufacturers have not limited their devices to true USB standards, and so the process for creating a switch able to map those particular devices can get complicated. In most cases, all USB HID devices are fully compatible with the DDM technology, but there has always been rare instances where a particular setup, or combination of devices, has caused an issue when going through the DDM switch. In most of those cases we have been able to release updated firmware aimed at resolving any of those incompatibilities.
The point of this new section of June-On's website is to provide assurance to customers and prospective customers, that our DDM KVM switches have been tested and verified compatible with particular input devices, be it Logitech, Microsoft, Elo, or Wacom. In some cases, video demonstrations are available which show how the devices perform.

ConnectPRO provides iPad compatible KVM switch
Apple's infamous iPad which was introduced earlier this year has revolutionized computing and virtually created the now exploding tablet computing industry. For style, weight, and perhaps other rationale¡Xthe iPad's primary text input is via the soft-keyboard which pops up whenever you need to type. The keyboard is laid out well and the textual input is intuitive, but in spite of those bonuses it's still easier, more comfortable, and quicker to input text with a hard, sturdy, physical keyboard.
Apple knows this. That is why they offer a $70 bluetooth keyboard and a similarly priced keyboard/docking station. In spite of how the advertising makes it appear, a customer need not rely on expensive and overpriced bluetooth wireless keyboards. Apple actually sells a product that allows you to connect a wired or wireless keyboard via USB. The problem is that Apple markets this product not as a keyboard connector, but rather as the Apple Camera Connection Kit. This kit features 2 different adapters to ostensibly allow you to download pictures from your camera. One of them is an SD card reader, and the other is a USB adapter for connecting your camera to, both adapters connect to the iPad's 30-pin dock connector.
If you're not concurrently trying to use the USB adapter for connecting your camera, or using the SD card reader, the USB adapter allows you to connect other USB devices, including but not limited to USB keyboards. When first connecting a USB keyboard in this manner a brief message comes up, likely only for non-Apple keyboards, which warns that use of this device is not supported. Once that is acknowledged, the keyboard functions just fine for all text input. This can work perfectly for composing emails, typing out notes, or using many great iPad apps like Apple's own Pages app for your word processing needs.
Like many other iPad users, you might already have another computer, or other computers, which you already use for such things. There's no need to buy a new keyboard, if you like the one you're already using, because such things can be shared with the use of a KVM switch. KVM switches are used to share a Keyboard, Mouse, and Video display between several computers. If you've already been using one, or are interested in using one, these also work with your iPad, allowing you to switch your keyboard between your iPad and other computers. ConnectPRO's UR-12+ and UR-14+ KVM switches are ideal for this and have been tested to work with wired and wireless USB keyboards.
Other switches might work as well, but ConnectPRO's DDM technology makes switching between your computer and iPad all the more simpler. Other non-DDM switches work too, but every time you switch to the iPad you're faced with another pesky Not Supported warning. The DDM technology in ConnectPRO's PLUS series KVM switches provides a constant communication with the iPad and every other computer, so regardless of what port the KVM is switched to all the connected systems still know that the keyboard is connected, and subsequently don't have to redetect the keyboard or keyboard and mouse whenever their port is switched to.
