Description

Black Box ACX1MR-VDHID-C Modular KVM Extender Receiver

Overview

The Black Box ACX1MR-VDHID-C is a modular KVM extender receiver designed for deployments where remote access to a host computer over structured cabling is required. As the receiver unit in the Black Box KVM extender ecosystem, it pairs with a compatible transmitter to extend video, HID keyboard, and mouse signals beyond the limits of direct cable runs — making it a fit for broadcast control rooms, secure server access, and distributed workstation environments.

The ACX1MR-VDHID-C (also searched as ACX1MR VDHID C) slots into the modular ACX1000 platform, which is built around interchangeable receiver and transmitter modules. This architecture lets you mix video interface types and feature sets across a single chassis family rather than committing to a monolithic fixed-configuration unit — useful when managing a multi-seat control room where not every position has identical display or peripheral requirements.

For deployments considering KVM extender solutions, the modular approach of this platform means future expansion or module swaps don't require replacing the entire unit. Pair with appropriate KVM switches to centralize host hardware while keeping operator workstations at distance.

Key Considerations Before Purchasing

  • Modular platform fit: Confirm that the ACX1MR-VDHID-C module is compatible with your specific ACX1000-series chassis — module slots and chassis generations must match.
  • HID support: This receiver supports standard HID USB keyboard and mouse — verify your peripheral requirements before ordering if you use specialty input devices (touchscreens, digitizers, or USB audio).
  • Transmitter pairing required: The receiver operates only in conjunction with a compatible Black Box ACX1 transmitter module; it is not a standalone unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the ACX1MR-VDHID-C work as a standalone unit?

A: No. The ACX1MR-VDHID-C is a receiver module designed to operate within the Black Box ACX1000 modular KVM extender platform. It requires a compatible transmitter module and chassis to function.

Q: What video interface does the ACX1MR-VDHID-C support?

A: Based on the model designation, this module supports a video interface consistent with the ACX1 platform (VD indicates the video interface variant). Confirm exact video connector type and resolution support against the Black Box product datasheet before ordering.

Q: Is the ACX1MR-VDHID-C compatible with any KVM switch?

A: The module is designed for the Black Box ACX1000 ecosystem. Compatibility with third-party KVM switches depends on the switching layer in use — consult Black Box's compatibility matrix or contact pre-sales for your specific configuration.

Q: What is the warranty on the ACX1MR-VDHID-C?

A: Warranty terms for the ACX1MR-VDHID-C should be confirmed directly from the Black Box product documentation, as duration is SKU-specific and not confirmed in currently available evidence.

The ACX1MR-VDHID-C sits in Black Box's modular ACX1 receiver lineup — the value of this platform is the ability to deploy a common chassis across a control room and differentiate by module, rather than stocking five completely different extender SKUs. If you're spec'ing a broadcast or operations center with mixed display types at different operator positions, that modularity matters at refresh time.

Technical Highlights:

  • Modular architecture: Receiver-only module fits the ACX1000 chassis, allowing video and HID peripheral extension without a dedicated fixed-configuration extender unit at each position.
  • HID keyboard and mouse: Standard HID USB support covers the vast majority of operator workstation peripherals without driver overhead on the host side.
  • Platform scalability: The ACX1 ecosystem supports mixed transmitter/receiver module combinations in a shared chassis, reducing per-seat hardware cost in multi-position deployments.

Deployment Considerations:

  • Chassis generation must match the module — confirm ACX1MR-VDHID-C is rated for your specific ACX1000 chassis variant before ordering; Black Box has released multiple chassis iterations under this family.
  • Specialty USB peripherals (touchscreens, biometric readers, USB audio devices) may require additional USB extension modules — the HID path handles keyboard and mouse only.

Best positioned for broadcast control rooms, secure NOC workstations, or government facility operator positions where host hardware must remain locked in a central equipment room and only KVM signals reach the operator desk.
