Paragon II Video Quality Evaluation

Abstract

Raritan commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the video quality of its enterprise-class Paragon II Cat5 KVM Switch and Enhanced User Station analog Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) solution against Avocent’s AMX solution.

Tests involved the subjective evaluation of the video quality of both solutions at various display resolutions in terms of video bandwidth, color gradient, jitter, distortion and ghosting/reflection, using various cable lengths. A video expert rated the solutions during a series of blind tests, with brand identities hidden.
