G&D introduces KVM extender

G&D has developed a new KVM extender system – the DP1.2-VisionXG. It enables remote operation of systems and offers uncompressed transmission of DP1.2 signals.

The G&D extender system complies with the new standard for DisplayPort 1.2 signals. Unfortunately, high performance computers also mean lots of heat and noise – and therefore an even greater need to ban them from the working environment.

By removing computers into central equipment rooms, other nuisances vanish from the working environment, too. Users benefit from more space as well as a cleaner working environment that is free from heat and noises emitting from computers. For the new DP1.2-VisionXG, fibre optics connect the KVM transmitter at the computer to the KVM receiver placed at the workstation. Despite distances of up to 10,000m between computer and workstation, users operate their systems in a 1:1 connection without any latency.

To ensure high video quality, the new DP1.2-VisionXG system transmits video signals transparent meaning pixel by pixel and without any compression. This way, all details remain visible even when it comes to high-resolution 4K images at the full refresh rate of 60 Hz and across the entire transmission distance.

In addition to the basic functions – the transmission of computer signals – the KVM extenders feature the Screen-Freeze function (even when losing the image source especially in control processes the user can continue to temporarily operate the system since the last available image is frozen) and the comprehensive monitoring tool. The system can be monitored via network interfaces – either actively via web interface or passively via SNMP. Now, technicians are able to detect and react to critical conditions before they would affect the user’s work.
