Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The Avocent SC945 is fully compatible with MAC keyboards, as long as the keyboard is plugged in using a standard USB connection. Sorry for the delay, we wanted to confirm with manufacturing.
Question: Whats included in the box? Cables, Keyboard, etc...?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
We have confirmed that the SC945-001 package ships with the SC945 KVM unit, the power supply, a power cable, and an user manual. KVM cables can be purchased separately in 6 ft and 10 ft lengths.
Question: We have 4, SC945 KVMs. The output from unit works fine to monitor but, when connected to Epson projector using HDMI, Projector sees no signal. Hooked monitor up to the same output cable going to the projector and it works fine. If I remove the KVM and go directly from the pc to the Epson using the same cables, it works fine. The units sit approximately 30' apart, is cable length an issue?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
It is possible that the 30ft distance is enough to cut off the signal - digital signals like DVI do not degrade, they just cut off when there isn't enough data. You could test this by bringing in the projector closer and trying a shorter cable (3 to 10 ft cable). If cable distance is the problem, you can use either a DVI booster / DVI extender to extend the distance of the cable.
Many newer projectors also require HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) support to function - which unfortunately the SC945 does not support.
While I am currently not aware of a NIAP-certified 'Secure KVM switch' which supports HDCP, if the security certification is not required, you may want to consider the Avocent SV340 instead, which does support HDCP.
