Transmitter features
The transmitter connects externally to the video, audio and USB ports of the remote workstation.
The ECMS2000 transmitter is attached directly to the remote workstation and draws its power
directly from two USB ports on the remote workstation. The ECMS4000 transmitter is powered by
an external power supply.
NOTE: If the remote workstation cannot supply the required power to the ECMS2000 transmitter or if two USB
connections are not available, an external power supply can be obtained from Avocent.
The transmitter captures, compresses and encrypts the workstation’s media streams and transmits
them to the receiver over a standard TCP/IP network.
Multiplatform support
The transmitter is connected to the remote workstation via USB connectors. This enables the
ECMS user station to interoperate seamlessly with PC, Sun

keyboards and mice can also be used.
