for KVM-over-IP
The KVM experts are presenting an expanded IP portfolio

ith their matrix switch for KVM-over-IP™,
German KVM manufacturers
Guntermann und Drunck
are presenting a futureoriented device. The
new
ControlCenter-IP
enables distributed switching of computer
signals via standard IP-based networks on
layer 3.
Following the portfolio expansion with
extender systems based on KVM-overIP™, the IP-based matrix now offers double
flexibility, so that even the largest installations
can be operated over IP. In combination with
IP extender systems, the ControlCenterIP forms a powerful KVM-over-IP matrix
that enables the switching of all connected
transmitter and receiver modules and
extends the usability and flexibility of
broadcast applications. Encryption of video,
keyboard, mouse and control data with AES128 ensures secure and reliable operation.
While network switches and routers
transmit IP packets from A to B, the
ControlCenter-IP takes over the central
system logic and optimises the accessibility
of all devices by enabling switching between
transmitter and receiver modules (CONs and
CPUs). Operators are able to benefit from a
high-performance G&D matrix environment,
while at the same time using the advantages
of a flexible network.
Due to the flexible system topology,
installations can be scaled as required and
extended via standard network elements.
Transmission takes place with CAT cabling
via standard IP-based networks on layer 3
and via a Gigabit Ethernet. The transmission
length is almost unlimited; two active
network components can be connected to
each other over a length of up to 100m via
CAT.
DisplayPort 1.1 signals are processed
pixel-perfectly and with very good hand-eye

ControlCenter-IP complements G&D's
KVM-over-IP extenders

coordination. The system also supports
video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60
Hz or 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. Coming soon
will be more devices for DVI, dual link and
DisplayPort 1.2. Thus, the ControlCenter-IP
will support the extending and switching of
4K @ 60 Hz. Based on G&D's proven mix
and match concept, the new devices will
also be combinable and compatible with
each other to ensure maximum flexibility and
expandability.
Signal transmission is compressed,
lossless, and almost latency-free, whereby
G&D do not reduce the sharpness during
transmission, but use their in-house
compression method, High Dynamic Image
Processing, in the latest development stage,
level 3. It enables the lossless transmission
of video signals and provides optimum image
quality.
The popular control room features of
the ControlCenter series have also been
integrated into the new KVM-over-IP™
matrix. They include functionalities such
as monitoring and SNMP, a scripting
function and scenario switching, the pushget function or CrossDisplay-Switching
for the intuitive operation at multi-monitor
workstations.
In addition to their new KVM products
for KVM-over-IP™, G&D is showcasing
other solutions from their KVM portfolio
and providing comprehensive technical
consulting for individual projects on booth
4H3-01.
