ConnectPRO proudly introduces the newest product in their line of USB plus series. The UR-18+DT is an 8-port USB KVM switch featuring Dual VGA displays with all-the-time full DDC emulation. This is the ideal switch for sharing 2 displays or 2 touch-screen monitors between up to 8 different systems. Along with the beefed up video output specs, the switch includes a total of 4 USB DDM ports, which guarantees reliability with USB keyboards, mice, or touch-screens. As with ConnectPRO's other PLUS series USB KVM switches, the UR-18+DT is rackmountable, provides user-selectable hot-key controls, provides front panel USB hub ports for additional device sharing, and features a 3-year warranty. The UR-18+DT is another PLUS series USB KVM switch, but with added functionality providing support for connecting 2 x consoles featuring touch-screen display monitors, it goes above and beyond the rest.
ConnectPRO will release the World's FASTEST KVM switches and FASTEST AV switches at Computex Combined with awards winning advanced technologies, such as USB DDM (Dynamic Device Mapping) and All-time Full DDC , ConnectPRO will release the World's fastest KVM switches and AV switches at Computex 2010. The new serial product lines come with various models, such as 2-port, 4-port, 8-port and 16-port KVM and USB/DVI KVM for different applications and industries.
New Product Series to be Released ConnectPRO has had a busy 2nd quarter, but is pleased to announce the roll-out of an all-new Audio/Video Series of products. All will feature ConnectPRO's highest quality video, as well as full-time DDC communication on each port. The first item in this series, to be released in May, will be an 8-port VGA/Audio video switch. The AVS-18A will support VGA and analog audio connections for speakers/microphone from up to 8-systems. Each port will have a back-lit push-button for easy selection of video, and a back-lit push-button for selection of audio when not synchronized. Full-time DDC communication will be built into each port specifically for the ultimate stability and Windows 7 compatibility. The AVS-18A will have an RS-232 connection for additional controlling options, as well as IR remote compatibility.
ConnectPRO at Computex 2010 ConnectPRO will be at Computex Taipei again this year, and invite you to visit. The dates for this years show run June 1-5, and ConnectPRO will be occupying booths B814/B816
ConnectPRO reveals DVI KVM switches Coming this year, ConnectPRO will be releasing a number of KVM switches featuring DVI input and output. Among these will be the UD-12 and UD-14 lines, which will be the ideal choice for Windows, Linux and Mac users who want to share several computers with one USB keyboard, mouse, and DVI display. Just like the current PRO series UR-12 and UR-14, the UD lines will support USB 2.0, and will be considered amongst the most stable of USB devices switching KVMs on the market. Not only will customer's be able to switch ports with the front panel push-buttons, but the UD-12 and UD-14 will allow for switching ports via Hot-key controls.
You + Germany + ConnectPRO = Awesome
According to CeBIT's official website, the key target groups are users from industry, the wholesale/retail sector, skilled trades, banks, the services sector, government agencies, science and all users passionate about technology. ConnectPRO will be showcasing their full range of KVM switches, KVM/USB extenders, Touch-screen sharing/extenders, OEM/ODM KVM solutions, and DDC-EDID emulators. Where all the action is: #F34, in the Taiwan pavillion No. 17.
Soon to be released USB with Hot-key controls ConnectPRO is excited to be announcing that shortly, all USB PRO KVM switches will feature hot-key controls which allow a user to switch ports with a short key combination on the keyboard. This is the pinnacle of convenience for the operation of a KVM switch and is relatively new for 2-port and 4-port USB 2.0 KVM Switches. For some time, other manufacturers have provided USB KVM switches that support hot-key controls, however, often times at the expense of general keyboard functionality. ConnectPRO's new PRO series featuring hot-keys is unique in the sense that it doesn't offer hot-key support at the expense of anything. A customer can still use their multi-function keyboard, as well as a wireless keyboard/mouse combination - there's absolutely no confusion caused by a single USB connector controlling both keyboard and mouse. Another issue that users have sometimes had with hot-key KVMs in the past, is hot-key interference. The standard hot-key for all ConnectPRO KVM switches has always been the left Control button. In the event that that particular keystroke is used for something else on your computer or in a specific application, the new USB PRO with hot-key controls will allow you to change the hot-key to another of the 4 options.
ConnectPRO to present at CeBIT 2010 The 2010 CeBIT show will be taking place the first week in March. ConnectPRO is proud to announce they will be presenting a range of products. Their booth will be # F34, in the Taiwan pavillion No. 17.

ConnectPRO Released Dual-Rail KVM Rack Console ConnectPRO is proud to announce the availability of an Award Winning new KVM Rack Console design. The Dual-Rail StreamLine allows the LCD panel to be operated independently of the keyboard/trackpad to suit the end user. For years one of ConnectPRO's most popular products has been the LCD KVM Rack Console, and now it's even better. The new Dual-Rail Console can be matched up with a 1-port, 8-port, or 16-port KVM module for managing as many servers as required. The stellar new dual-rail design recently won a design and innovation award at Computex 2009, Taipei.
New Products Available for Stable Video Performance ConnectPRO is proud to introduce a new product line aimed at helping customers achieve optimal and stable video, regardless of what KVM switch or other devices they are working with. ConnectPRO's new DDC Emulator comes in two forms to include both VGA and DVI requirements. The ConnectPRO DDC (Data Display Channel) Emulator is designed to solve the problem that computers can sometimes lose the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). The DDC EDID data is vital for the video extension; it is a data structure provided by a computer display to describe its chracteristics to a graphics card. However, when you switch or disconnect and then reconnect the displays such as monitor, you may lose DDC EDID and the user's computer fails to display the image properly. Now, such is no longer the case if you use ConnectPRO's VGA or DVI DDC Emulator module. The ConnectPRO DDC Emulator allows the user to have best video image setting all the time. Through an easy programmed process, the display's DDC EDID is memorized in the DDC module, thus preventing our customers from blank screens and boot problems as well as resolving the issue of display resolution and color due to a lack of DDC EDID information.
Computex 2009 Wrap-up As previously reported, ConnectPRO was honored with a Jury's Special Best Choice award at the 2009 Computex show in Taipei for their DDM Technology KVM solutions. Here are some pictures from ConnectPRO's booth at the tradeshow.

ConnectPRO Joins EPA's ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign Today, ConnectPRO joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign by enabling the power management, or sleep mode, on their computers and monitors. This simple step will help reduce the nation’s growing demand for electricity, save organizations money and help fight global warming. If all office computers and monitors in the U.S. were set to sleep when not being used, the country could save more than 44 billion kWh or $4 billion worth of electricity and avoid the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of about 5 million cars each year. "We are proud to be part of this effort to reduce the carbon footprint of our IT operations," said ConnectPRO President Rex Wu. "The efficient use of computers and monitors is something our company strives to improve, not only for our bottom line, but also for the benefit of the environment." Rex adds, "Hand in hand this plays into our goal of cutting power consumption by installing KVM switches to desktop environments. A KVM switch allows a user to effectively manage and utilize multiple computers from only one monitor, keyboard, and mouse." ConnectPRO joins the ranks of leading businesses and organizations who are participating in the ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign, including Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., Association of Bay Area Governments Energy Watch, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dell, Inc., Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., HP, Microsoft, OfficeMax, and the list goes on. "EPA is pleased to recognize ConnectPRO as a participant in the ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign," said ENERGY STAR Program Manager Steve Ryan. "By taking this simple pledge, we can make a substantial difference in the fight against global warming. ENERGY STAR’s power management tools offer a cost-effective way to save energy, money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions." Power management enables computers and monitors to go into a low-power sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Power management has the potential to save up to $ 50 per computer annually. Despite the significant savings, according to Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, only a scant five to ten percent of U.S. organizations have deployed these settings on computers. To join the ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign, organizations simply take an online pledge to activate power management features on their monitors and computers to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Organizations can increase energy savings further by purchasing ENERGY STAR qualified computers and monitors. In turn, EPA provides free assistance to help implement power management, an estimate of the organization's energy and carbon savings, and official recognition from the agency. Organizations can join the campaign by visiting www.energystar.gov/lowcarbonit. About ENERGY STAR: ENERGY STAR was introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through increased energy efficiency. Today, ENERGY STAR offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions to save energy, money and help protect the environment for future generations. More than 12,000 organizations are ENERGY STAR partners committed to improving the energy efficiency of products, homes, buildings and businesses. For more information about ENERGY STAR, visit www.energystar.gov or call toll-free 1-888-STAR-YES (1-888-782-7937)

Multi-touch is here, are you ready? ConnectPRO has solutions for the hardware and software developer NOW. At Computex 2008, ConnectPRO released and demoed the first and only USB Touch-screen sharing KVM in the world, with DDM technology. With the advanced, patented USB DDM (Dynamic Device Mapping) solutions, any USB Multi-touch touch-screen monitor devices (whether multi-touch or single-touch) can be shared and accessed with multiple systems/ servers. This transpires without writing any emulation codes or change of configuration between shared hardware and OS systems. It provides the best totally transparent user experience for adding Multi-touch screen devices to applications. As ConnectPRO’s USB DDM technology has just advanced to its next stage, more USB devices can be included with DDM mapping to work with Windows 7’s new “device stage” hardware management. That means ConnectPRO provides the “active” hardware DDM for a 100% match to Windows 7’s “active” software DDM - the new Windows 7’s “Device Stage”. Imagine that your devices and systems will be connected much faster and working smoothly together when connected, extended or shared. To find out how ConnectPRO can benefit your hardware and software development with Windows 7, please email us at
