September 24, 2009 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)

ConnectPRO at Computex
ConnectPRO invites you to stop by their booth at Computex 2009 to see first hand what products ConnectPRO has been developing, as well as the products already available. Computex, the second largest computer expo in the world, is held annually at the Taipei World Trade Center. The Taipei World Trade Center is connected via footbridge to the world-famous Taipei 101 building and shopping mall. ConnectPRO will be exhibiting at Booth D829 and D831, while the exhibition will run from June 2 through 6.
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
ConnectPRO at Computex Visit ConnectPRO at Computex 2008, currently running June 3-7, to see for yourself why ConnectPRO is rapidly positioning itself as a solid KVM technology developer and manufacturer.

Unlike the UR-series, this has dedicated simulation on each port, and also allows you to switch ports with simple Hot-key controls.
