Appendix F:383Computer Interface Modules (CIMs)Question AnswerWhat type of video is supported byyour CIMs?Our CIMs have traditionally supported analogVGA video. Three new CIMs support digitalvideo formats, including DVI, HDMI andDisplayPort. These are theD2CIM-DVUSB-DVI, D2CIM-DVUSB-HDMIand D2CIM-DVUSB-DP.Can I use computer interfacemodules (CIMs) from Paragon,Raritan’s analog matrix KVMswitch, with Dominion KX II?Yes. Certain Paragon computer interfacemodules (CIMs) may work with Dominion KX II.(Please check the Raritan Dominion KX IIRelease Notes on the website for the latest listof certified CIMs.)However, because Paragon CIMs cost morethan Dominion KX II CIMs (as they incorporatetechnology for video transmission of up to1,000 feet [304 m]), it is not generally advisableto purchase Paragon CIMs for use withDominion KX II. Also note that when connectedto Dominion KX II, Paragon CIMs transmitvideo at a distance of up to 150 feet (46 m), thesame as Dominion KX II CIMs – not at 1,000feet (304 m), as they do when connected toParagon.Can I use Dominion KX IIcomputer interface modules(CIMs) with Paragon, Raritan’sanalog matrix KVM switch?No. Dominion KX II computer interfacemodules (CIMs) transmit video at ranges of 50feet to 150 feet (15 m to 46 m) and thus do notwork with Paragon, which requires CIMs thattransmit video at a range of 1,000 feet (304 m).To ensure that all Raritan’s customersexperience the very best quality video availablein the industry – a consistent Raritancharacteristic – Dominion series CIMs do notinteroperate with Paragon.
