Broadcast KVM Switching

Post production environments and broadcast machine rooms have become increasingly dependent on computers to generate and manipulate video and audio content. Broadcasters are seeking solutions that enable them to back rack their critical computing resources and allocate them as needed. Operators can then access computers located securely away from the broadcast studio.

From the point of view of IT engineers, centralizing computer resources also simplifies reconfigurations and eases administration as the broadcast environment changes.
