Introduction

Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics Orion ™ System. The Orion System is the results of Rose Electronics

commitment to providing continued state-of-the-art switching solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The Orion

System has proven to be a valuable investment for all types of businesses that have the need to monitor, maintain,

route, switch and access information from multiple computer systems. Its use in large computer and multimedia

facilities gives the IT professional the added flexibility to monitor and maintain all systems, running on different

platforms, from one or multiple KVM stations. The Orion System is the common sense solution that provides the

flexibility, expandability, and security required for today’s business environment.

Rose Electronics' Orion System is designed to configure to whatever your system demands are, one user or multiple

users, two computers or hundreds. All configurations offer standard features that allow for easy, secure, and

complete access to as many computers as your system has from one or multiple KVM user stations. CATx or fiber

cabling is used to connect the computers and user stations to the Orion unit. Using CATx cabling the distance can

be up to 450 feet (140m), using singlemode 9µ fiber cabling, the distance can be up to 6 miles (10,000m). This

greatly reduces the cable bulk and makes installation easier, quicker, and less expensive.

The convenient on-screen display (OSD) menus are intuitive and easy to use. The menus guide you through the

configuration process, making it easy to configure the Orion.

The Orion is used along with an extender transmitter and receiver. The transmitter connects to your computer or

video source and the receiver connects to your DVI monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse. The transmitter and

receiver units connect to the Orion unit using CATx or fiber cabling. The transmitter and receiver models will vary

depending on the application.

The Orion can be configured to function as a Crosspoint switch or a KVM switch. An additional feature allow the

Orion to be set-up in the “Follow Me” mode. An overview of each configuration mode is described below. See the

appropriate manual section for a detailed description of the installation, configuration, and operating procedure for

each mode.

Reliability, security, versatility, and other advanced technological features ensure the Orion System will streamline

your data center or server room, simplify the maintenance, access and updating of your systems, and easily expand

as your system demands increase.

Crosspoint Switch mode

The Crosspoint switch mode allows you to switch one or more video outputs (16) to any or all video inputs (32). The

Crosspoint switch menu makes connecting and switching easy. Select the monitor to display the video source on,

select the computer to switch to the selected display and press the space bar. Instantly the computer’s video is

displayed on the remote monitors.

KVM Switch mode

The KVM switch mode can be set-up to function as: a 16 user to 32 single head CPUs, 8 user to 16 dual head, or 4

user to 8 quad head CPU KVM switch and also two additional unique features, “Partner” viewing and the “Follow Me”

feature. Partner viewing allows for the distribution of the main display content to one or more remote displays. The

“Follow Me” feature shows your actions on other displays, even changing sources.

2 Orion Installation and Operations Manual

About This Manual

* Orion KVM standard devices with USB-HID connectors support the extension of the keyboard and mouse ONLY;

use with other HID devices (Human Interface Device) such as touch screens, graphics tablets, barcode readers or

similar USB devices may be successful – but there is no guarantee for this! The Orion™ KVM standard device is

NOT suitable for use with other USB devices such as scanners, web-cams, data sticks etc.

Orion KVM standard devices support only two USB devices simultaneously, keyboard and mouse or keyboard and

touch-screen, etc. but not keyboard, mouse and touch-screen simultaneously. You can extend by a USB hub but

this does not raise the number of supported devices.

Orion Installation and Operations Manual 3

Compatibility

Video Digital (DVI-D): Digital Video standard installed by DDWG - R, G, B, and CLOCK in a data stream

with up to 3x 1.6 Gbit/sec. Signals are TMDS level.

Keyboard Compatible with all standard USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with enhanced features may also

be supported with custom firmware. Keyboards with a built-in hub are also supported – but there are

never more than two HID devices supported.

Mouse Compatible with all standard USB 2-button, 3-button and wheel mice.

CATx / Fiber The Orion Switch may be equipped with both CATx GBICs and fiber GBICs.

Cables This allows both fiber and CATx Signals to be switched with one Unit.

NOTE: Switching must be from a CATx source to a CATx destination and Fiber source

to a Fiber destination. CATx to Fiber or Fiber to CATx is NOT possible.

Fiber Supports singlemode (9µ) and multimode (50µ and 62.5µ) cables.

DDC Information

Normally, it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the Orion KVM/ Media device. However, in some

circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC information for the CPU. By default, the unit

uses its own internal DDC table. If this setting does not satisfy your requirements, the DDC table can either be

switched to the DDC table of the locally attached screen or can be downloaded from the remotely located screen and

stored in the internal DDC table. The default is to download the DDC table from the remote monitor.

(See appendix C for instructions on how to modify the DDC setup)

Selecting the moment of switching to next frame

The transmission of screen data is not synchronous to the screen changes of the graphic card. Normally, the

transmission is terminated during the display of a frame on the screen (at the remote unit). If the device switches to

the new frame during the displaying period of the old frame (somewhere on the screen), it is possible that you will

see horizontal screen breaks at the moment of switching (default). On the other hand, if the device idles until the

actual frame is displayed completely (until VSYNC) then the number of frames per second transmitted may be

reduced.

(See appendix C for instructions on changing the switching behavior)

Selection of Color reduction for transfer acceleration

You can select, whether always 24 Bit colors (=full color depth) are transmitted or whether the compression algorithm

automatically switches between 16 and 24 Bit colors to accelerate the data transfer (default). Normally the difference

between 24 Bit and 16 Bit is not recognizable but under some special circumstances e.g. in photo processing

installations there might be disturbing color abbreviations. While the automatic color switching enhances the number

of frames, transmitted per second, fixed 24 Bit color depth gives smooth color grades under all circumstances.

(See appendix C for instructions on how to select the desired mode)

OVERVIEW

4 Orion Installation and Operations Manual

System Overview

The Orion system consists of the main Orion unit configured with the CPU and CON modules for your application

(CATx or Fiber). Each CPU port connects to a CATx or Fiber transmitter using a CATx or fiber cable.

Each CON port connects to a CATx or Fiber receiver using a CATx or fiber cable.

The versatility of the Orion unit makes it easily

adaptable to your system environment. It can

be configured for a KVM switch where each

user can connect and control any connected

computer.

In the KVM switch mode, a unique feature

called “Partner Viewing” allows a console user

to share the active display content on one or

more displays.

Another feature is the “Follow Me” feature.

This allows other displays to follow every action

made by the console user.

In the Crosspoint switch mode, up to 32 video

sources can be switched to 16 video outputs.

You can switch a video source to 1 output or

16 outputs.

Each CPU input and CON output must connect

to an extender transmitter and extender

receiver. Rose Electronics offers a wide variety

of transmitters and matching receivers to

handle your specific application:



Single, dual, and quad head DVI-D video

models



Local access models



Serial and audio models



CATx or Fiber models



4x USB 2.0 transparent ports for compatible

USB 2.0 peripherals

The installation, configuration, and operation

for each of the different modes are explained in

the appropriate manual section for the

application the Orion unit is going to be

configured for.

Synchronized switching

The Orion unit can be set-up to control the switching features of other Orion units. When the master unit is switched

to a selected CPU port, all other Orion units configured for synchronization will also switch to that CPU port. The

main unit is assigned a unique IP address compatible with the existing network. The main unit is then connected to

the network via a network cable. The master unit’s IP address is entered into the secondary units that will be

switched via the main unit. See Appendix G for installation and OSD configuration instructions.
