Unlimited access with KVM-over-IP™

Transmitting DP signals via CAT cables or fibre optics

Essentially, G&D systems use a dedicated cabling. Thus, especially powerful applications can bene�t from using the full bandwidth and therefore guarantee absolutely reliable transmission.

But network systems tend to become more powerful, too. Therefore, G&D now o�ers a KVM extender that allows ac-cess via IP structures. Especially working across locations requires the possibility to �exibly access remote systems.

Thus, the new DP-Vision-IP transmits signals via G&D’s KVM-over-IP, which allows operators to use IP structures to access the connected computers.

Combinations with other G&D sys-tems are also possible thus allowing complex installations with worldwide access.

Transmission and highlights of extenders:

Redundant power supply

For optimum results 1Gbit network is recommended. The transmission is based on layer 3 IP networks.

Of course, G&D relies on the most recent encryption me-thods and comprehensive access protection.

DisplayPort™ 1.1 (up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz, 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz), audio and RS232. Transparent USB 2.0 signals are optional. With redundant power supplies, network connection, web interface and the monitoring function,

the DP-Vision o�ers numerous fea-tures for mission-critical applica-

tions.

The digital KVM extender system DP-Vision consists of a computer module (transmitter) and a user module (recei-ver) and is used for the remote and local operation of a computer. A workstation can be connected to each module (remote and local console). By default, the DP-Vision trans-mits the signals of keyboard and mouse (USB and PS/2) as well as

DP1.2-VisionXG

DP1.2-Vision

In many �elds of applications installations always demand higher resolutions. Therefore, 4K @ 60Hz is more and more �nding its way into IT installations. To meet these demands, G&D has developed new KVM extender system, which allows users to remove the necessary computer equipment into central technology rooms. The extenders enable the remote operation of systems and o�er the uncompressed (DP1.2-VisionXG) or compressed (DP1.2-Vision) transmission of DP1.2 signals.

To produce the highest possible resolutions, the compu-ters in use become increasingly powerful to be able to provide the required video data. Unfortunately, high per-formance computers also mean an increase of heat and noise – and therefore an even greater need to ban them from working spaces.

By removing computers into central equipment rooms, other nuisances vanish from the working environment, too. The computer and user modules are connected via �bre optics, optional via CAT cables. Despite distances of up to 10,000m between computer and workstation, users operate their systems in a 1:1 connection without any latency or losses.

The DP1.2-VisionXG provides the transparent transmission of video information – pixel by pixel and therefore gua-rantees absolutely lossless images.

The DP1.2-VisionXG transmits video information pixel by pixel without using any kind of compression. This gua-rantees absolutely lossless and latency-free images. The powerful compression used for the DP1.2-Vision leads to pixel-perfect images and the enables 4K/UHD video with a refresh rate of 60 Hz even at lower bandwidths.

As a result, the extenders can also be integrated into digi-tal matrix systems and enable 4K @ 60Hz.

GPIO stands for „general purpose input / output“ and refers to the transmission of simple switching status (on / o�).

Fields of application for the GPIO status: KVM systems are used to extend and distribute typical computer signals (keyboard, mouse, video). In some applications, further information are transmitted from the computer to the workplace or vice versa. These information can be an emergency button on the operating side, a switching sig-nal on the computer which switches an acoustic alarm or a visual message in the form of a warning light. Applicati-on �elds include alarms in the control room, the automa-tion of critical monitoring status, or the typical „tally light“ as on-air signal in broadcasting.

In order to be able to use existing components to display GPIO status, G&D use an interface that is barely used these days: the PS/2 interface. For some applications, this interface is still relevant and therefore still standard in G&D systems – in addition to USB interfaces to connect keyboard and mouse. All G&D matrix components provide at least one or two PS/2 interfaces.

How ans where are GPIO information displayed or rendered?

The GPIO status is transmitted directly from transmitter and receiver, or vice versa. This means that the applied switching status can be reproduced on both sides. Thus, it is physically possible to remotely transfer switching status to external systems.These can also displayed via:

On-screen display

The select menu mark computers for example as „On Air“

The con�guration can be done in the Con�gPanel.

The G&D GPIO-Changer-PS/2 has been developed both to make the connection as comfortable as possible and to expand the functionality. The device allows the easy connection of your switching contacts or individual de-vices using a Phoenix Combicon connector and converts them to 2 x PS/2 to connect them to a G&D device. DIP switches determine the switching direction (computer to workstation or vice versa). At the input interfaces, the contacts provide a 5VDC auxiliary voltage with a maxi-mum of 0.5mA for external switches and potential-free contacts. The input interfaces support the operation of switches that use an external power supply up to 24VDC. The output interfaces can switch consumers that use an external power supply up to 24VDC/0.4A.

ControlCenter-Digital ControlCenter-Compact

MultiPower-NT - G&D monitoring via network

MultiPower-12-NT

The MultiPower series serves as the central power source of G&D devices that require an external power pack (12V). The new “NT” variants are provided with a network inter-face and can be used to directly query various monitoring values such as temperature, current or online/o�ine. All functions of these devices can now be monitored together with the rest of the installation.

Advantage:While operating remote computers and switching to speci�c CPUs, the current tally information (or any other GPIO information) is available to the user at

any time – even before switching to a “live“ machine because the status is available as on-screen display and shown on the computer selection menu.

KVM matrix system: ControlCenter-CompactSucceeding the compact matrix series DVICenter, the ControlCenter-Compact has been added to G&D’s variety of digital matrix systems.

The database of the ControlCenter-Compact provides even more sophisticated management options so that large installations can be used in an ideal way – especially when employing the KVM matrix grid. The entire ControlCenter-Compact series is compatible with the matrix switches DVICenter, ControlCenter-Digital and the components to connect computer and user modules. Among them are the new DP1.2-Vision systems, which allow the matrix to transmit 4K video with a refresh rate of 60 Hz without any latency.

Versatile variations

The ControlCenter-Compact is available in the variants 8C, 16C, 32C, 48C, 64C and 80C with 8, 16, 32, 48, 64 or 80 CAT ports. Fiber and mixed variants with the same number of ports are available or in preperation. Thanks to its dyna-mic ports, each interface can be used either as input or output to connect computers or simultaneous worksta-tions. Depending on the variant, the ControlCenter- Compact allows the operation of 1 - 79 computers via 79 - 1 simultaneous user modules. Up to 80 available ports can be combined according to your individual requirements.

Application areas

Thanks to its dynamic port allocation, ControlCenter-Compact is suitable for use in all appli-cations where a large number of computers need to be operated by several simultaneous workplaces. Thanks to the wide range of di�erent computer and workplace modules, the ControlCenter-Compact can easily

adapt to changing needs. Areas of application include control centres, surveillance vans or any kind of control room.

KVM Matrix-Grid™ for complex infrastructuresA KVM matrix grid can be used in appli-cations that desire bidirectional access between two or more matrix central units, in which the size of the system requires a network or where, due to redundancies, important connections need to be distributed to multiple KVM matrices. By default, G&D digital matrix systems can be expanded by means of a top-down cascade. Moreover, the matrix grid establishes bidirectional communication between individual matrix switches. Now systems can be interconnected even more easier to facilitate larger installations. Thus, users are able to opera-te the system bidirectionally at multiple locations. For transmission between two matrix systems, the devices are directly connected via I/O ports. Each simultaneous KVM connection beyond a matrix requires a connection to the grid. To establish a communication between the matrices they are connected to a network that provides access to a shared database. At all expansion stages, di-gital matrix systems from G&D can be integrated into the matrix grid. This includes the entire ControlCenter-Compact, DVICen-ter and ControlCenter-Digital series. Up to 24 matrices can be part of one grid. Within this framework, any topologies are possible (e.g. strand, tree, ring, star, meshed network). The systems included in a grid are virtually combined to form one large matrix for the users. Thus, all connected user consoles are able to access all connected computers within a grid. The system automatically takes over the routing of KVM signals by selecting the ideal path through the grid.

Reducing the number of grid lines with the I/O-Card-Trunk

An ever-growing installation also requires more cables to connect all components. Therefore, G&D has developed the I/O-Trunk-Card to combine the grid lines required within a KVM matrix grid. The card is placed in one of the I/O slots of the ControlCenter-Digital where it combines 4 of the 16 channels on one line. For transmission between two matrices, the four ports of an I/O-Card-Trunk can be con�gured independently for a 1: 1 direct connection or a connection via a 10Gbit/s Ethernet network (layer 2). Transmission between two I/O-Card-Trunk is carried out by even more powerful components compared to the standard. These components let you use the fourfold of the bandwidth at the same time – thus saving you one fourth of cabling e�orts.
