What type of video is supported by your CIMs?

Our CIMs have traditionally supported analog VGA video. Three new CIMs support digital video formats, including DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. These are the D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI, D2CIM-DVUSB-HDMI and D2CIM-DVUSB-DP.

Can I use computer interface modules (CIMs) from Paragon, Raritan’s analog matrix KVM switch, with Dominion KX III?

Yes. Certain Paragon computer interface modules (CIMs) may work with Dominion KX IIKX IIII. (Please check the Raritan Dominion KX III Release Notes on the website for the latest list of certified CIMs.)

However, because Paragon CIMs cost more than Dominion KX III CIMs (as they incorporate technology for video transmission of up to 1,000 feet [304 m]), it is not generally advisable to purchase Paragon CIMs for use with Dominion KX III. Also note that when connected to Dominion KX III, Paragon CIMs transmit video at a distance of up to 150 feet (46 m), the same as Dominion KX III CIMs – not at 1,000 feet (304 m), as they do when connected to Paragon.

Does Dominion KX III support Paragon Dual CIMs?

Yes. The Dominion KX III supports Paragon II Dual CIMs (P2CIM-APS2DUAL and P2CIM-AUSBDUAL), which can connect servers in the data center to two different Dominion KX III switches.

If one KX III switch is not available, the server can be accessed through the second KX III switch, providing redundant access and doubling the level of remote KVM access.

Please note these are Paragon CIMs, so they do not support the KX III advanced features such as virtual media, absolute mouse, audio, etc.
