P2PKVM over IP

High-performance DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI CATx and fiber-optic KVM-over-IP

extension and matrix-switching solution, with USB 2.0, audio, IR and RS232 for point-to-point extension, KVM switching and stand-alone or managed matrix KVM switching over an Ethernet network 

P2PKVM KVM-over-IP extend your DisplayPort, HDMI, or DVI-based workstations' console point-point or over an IP network (via a 1Gb Ethernet switch) up to 328 feet (100 m) per segment using CATx, up to 1640 feet (500 m) per segment using MultiMode fiber, or up to 6.2 miles (10 km) using SingleMode fiber.

Supporting flexible Direct, Matrix, and SaviGate modes, P2PKVM extenders adapt to your installation needs – from simple point-to-point extensions to full multi-user managed environments – over CATx or fiber-optic.

High-Performance KVM-over-IP Extennsion and Matrix-Switching Solution
Experience seamless, real-time remote access with P2PKVM series, a high-performance KVM-over-IP extender and matrix solution.

P2PKVM series is a plug-and-play IP KVM solution delivering 4K video, USB, audio, and optional RS232 and IR control over a standard 1Gb Ethernet network with flexible extension and switching modes.

Designed for mission-critical environments, it delivers ultra-low latency, high-resolution video, and secure connectivity over IP networks, ensuring efficient system control and flexibility.

SmartAVI's P2PKVM series is a high-performance, IP-based KVM platform designed to scale effortlessly from simple point-to-point control to fully matrixed KVM environments.

Supporting up to 64 servers and 8 users out of the box, the system expands to an enterprise-class 256-server / 32-user matrix when integrated with the SaviGate P2PManager, delivering exceptional flexibility for control rooms, data centers, and mission-critical operations.

P2PKVM series offers a comprehensive range of solutions for DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort video formats, supporting both single-head and dual-head configurations.

Available in CATx and fiber-optic options, these systems provide flexible and high-performance KVM switching and extension tailored for a wide variety of applications.

Direct Mode – Simple Point-to-Point Extension (One Transmitte. One Receiver. No Configuration)
Direct Mode turns any P2PKVM Transmitter and Receiver into a plug-and-play point-to-point extender. Connect a single Transmitter and Receiver, power up, and you have instant KVM extension with ultra-low latency and crystal-clear video — no network switch or controller required.
• In Direct Mode, each P2PKVM Transmitter links directly to a Receiver over CATx or fiber
• No external Ethernet switch or router is needed
• Devices discover each other automatically
• Video, USB, audio, and serial all extend over the same link

Direct Mode is ideal when you simply need to move a console away from the PC or provide a clean, silent desktop for operators:
• Zero Configuration — Plug in, power on, and start working
• Flexible Distance Options — Choose CATx or fiber to fit your layout
• Dedicated Link — Isolated point-to-point path for predictable performance
• Cost-Effective — No network hardware or controller needed
• Ultra-Low Latency — Local-desktop feel, even at distance

Matrix Mode – Network-Based KVM Switching (Any User. Any Source. Over a Standard Network Switch)
Matrix Mode transforms P2PKVM series into a flexible KVM matrix. Multiple Transmitters and Receivers connect through a standard Ethernet switch, and users select systems through an intuitive on-screen display (OSD).
• All P2PKVM Transmitters and Receivers connect to the same Ethernet network
• Each Receiver can request any available Transmitter
• Users switch via keyboard hotkeys or on-screen display (OSD) menu
• Video, USB, and audio are routed in real time with ultra-low latency

No dedicated controller is required, making Matrix Mode a powerful option for mid-size control rooms, NOCs, or lab environments:
• Any-to-Any Switching — Route any source to any user station
• Shared Access — Multiple users can view and operate different systems simultaneously
• Scalable Design — Start small and grow by adding endpoints to the network
• Network Friendly — Works with standard managed switches and VLAN setups
• OSD-Based Control — Intuitive on-screen menus for non-technical users

SaviGate Mode – Centralized Management and Access Control (One Dashboard for All Your P2PKVM Endpoints)
When paired with a SaviGate controller, P2PKVM series becomes a centrally managed KVM-over-IP platform. IT administrators gain full control over routing, user permissions, presets, and monitoring — all from a web-based interface.
• All Transmitters, Receivers, and the SaviGate controller share the same network
• SaviGate maintains a live map of all endpoints
• Admins create access rules, presets, and layouts
• Users connect to allowed systems via OSD or SaviGate's browser interface

SaviGate Mode is ideal for larger deployments where security, auditability, and standardized workflows matter:
• Centralized Management — Configure, monitor, and update all endpoints from ane place
• Preset and Layout Support — Save common views or workstation mappings for fast recall
• Role-Based Access Control — Assign which users can reach which systems
• Browser-Based GUI — No client software to install; manage from any authorized workstation
• Real-Time Switching View — See active connections and quickly reroute as needed

Use Cases for P2PKVM series
• Control Rooms - Scalable, real-time KVM control for 24/7 operations, from point-to-point to 256 matrixed systems
• Broadcast and Production - High-performance IP-based KVM for live production, studios, and post scaling seamlessly to 256 servers
• Medical and Healthcare - Low-latency, reliable KVM control for clinical and imaging workflows, from single rooms to large matrices
• Defense and Mission-Critical - Mission-ready KVM architecture delivering scalable, high-performance control for secure and critical environments
