Patent number: 8443037Abstract: A computerized switching system for coupling a workstation to a remotely located computer. A signal conditioning unit receives keyboard and mouse signals generated by a workstation and generates a data packet which is transmitted to a central crosspoint switch. The packet is routed through a crosspoint switch to another signal conditioning unit located at a remotely located computer. The second signal conditioning unit applies the keyboard and mouse commands to the keyboard and mouse connectors of the computer as if the keyboard and mouse were directly coupled to the remote computer. Video signals produced by the remote computer are transmitted through the crosspoint switch to the workstation. Horizontal and vertical sync signals are encoded on to the video signals to reduce the number of cables that extend between the workstation and the remote computer.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Avocent Redmond Corp.Inventors: Danny L. Beasley, Robert V. Seifert, Jr., Paul Lacrampe, James J. Huffington, Thomas Greene, Kevin J. Hafer
