does this support 1920x1080 remotely (not using local console)?
Thank you for your inquiry,

The Avocent AV3216 supports a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 or 1680 x 1050 (widescreen) @ 60 Hz (depending on the length of cable separating your switch and devices), locally or remotely. See below for more information about the video scaling for the AV3216 web interfaces. If you would like 1920x1080 HD resolution support at the remote IP interface, you may want to consider one of the following switching solutions instead:
Raritan DKX3-116
Raritan DLX-216
Aten KN1116V
AdderLink INFINITY

Here is some information regarding the Web Interfaces for controlling video settings:
the AutoView 3108/3216 ships with a few solutions to manage your switch system: You may use the terminal software (local serial), OSCAR interface (local On-Screen-Display), or the OBWI (On-Board-Web-Interface - IP) . The OBWI manages a single switch and its connections over IP; You can also perform remote IP KVM and serial switching tasks using the OBWI or DSView management software.

OBWI (On-Board-Web-Interface)
NOTE, while the features and settings are different when using DSView 4.5, the following generally applies.

When the AutoView 3108/3216 switch OBWI is used for the first time, any open Video Viewer windows display at a resolution of 1024 x 768 until the user changes the value. Each Video Viewer window can be set to a different resolution.

The AutoView 3108/3216 switch OBWI automatically adjusts the display if the window size changes during a session as long as autoscaling is enabled. If the target device resolution changes any time during a session, the display adjusts automatically.

When Full Screen mode is enabled, the image adjusts to fit the desktop size. If the desktop has a higher resolution, the following occurs:
  • The full-screen image is centered in the desktop, and the areas surrounding the Video
    Viewer window are black.
  • The menu and toolbar are locked so that they are visible at all times.

To Enable automatic, full or manual scaling of the session image:
  • With full scaling, the desktop window remains fixed and the device image scales to fit
    the window.
  • With automatic scaling, the desktop window is sized to match the resolution of the server
    being viewed.
  • With manual scaling, a drop-down menu of supported image scaling resolutions
    is displayed.
You can also enable manual scaling, select View - Scaling from the Video Viewer window menu. Choose the dimension to scale the window. That being said, the software will not be able to scale above the maximum supported resolution. You can also adjust other video features to optimize for the best possible view - such as contrast, brightness, Block Noise Threshold and Pixel Noise Threshold values, SUN Solaris settings, etc.

Vendor-specific video settings: Video settings vary significantly among manufacturers. Avocent maintains an online database of optimized video settings for various video cards, particularly Sun-specific ones. This information can be obtained from Avocent\'s online knowledge base.


For more information regarding the OBWI and DSVIEW4 management, please refer to the AV3216 Manual (page 29 for operation) & The DSVIEW 4.5 Manual.

do i still need individual network connections for each PC attached to the device or does it act as a router / hub as well?
Thank you for your inquiry,

If you would like the source devices to be able access the internet, they would still need each source to be connected to a network. The network connection on the Avocent AV3216 would simply facilitate the ability to transmit the video and control the sources with keyboard and mouse remotely.

Does this model Avocent AV3216, comes with 1 IP User (web remote access) integrated? I don't have to buy any extra usb key to get the 1 IP user (web remote access), correct? Because the key cost more than 800.00 USD, so I want to know if in this model the web remote access is included..
Thank you for your inquiry,

That is correct- The new Avocent AV3216 switch comes with the 1 IP user (web remote access) integrated; Unlike the older Avocent AV2216, the AV3216 does not require the optional usb RAK-KEY for IP connectivity.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
