Operating the DVI KVM over IP

Audio Connections

Audio works in both unicast and multicast modes. The only difference between the two modes is that the Mic In jack is automatically disabled, on all Receiver units, in multicast mode. To illustrate how audio works with the DVI KVM over IP, we will set up a microphone and some speakers.

1.Our computer has a Line In jack, as part of the sound card and we want to be able to access this jack from the Receiver unit. Therefore, connect the microphone to the Mic In jack on the Receiver unit.

2.In order to get the audio from the microphone into the computer, connect a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm mini-stereo cable from the Line Out jack on the Sender unit to the Line In jack on the computer.

WARNING: Do not connect the mini-stereo cable from the Line Out jack on the Sender unit to the Mic In jack on the computer. Doing so will result in audio “clipping” and may cause damage to the computer’s sound card.

3.Connect another 3.5mm-to-3.5mm mini-stereo cable between the Line Out jack on the computer and the Line In jack on the Sender unit. Note that any audio device (e.g. MP3 player, etc.) can also be connected to the Line In jack on the Sender unit.
