'ControlCenter-Digital'
is designed to unite
all functions of K VM
ex tender s and K VM
switches for broadcast
applications. It provides
access to all computers
independently from any
network or operating
system. When using
optical ﬁbres, operators
can access their
computer s in a 1:1
connection over distances
of up to 10 kilometres. Diagram 3. Guntermann & Drunck's Bridge

all users can have access to

all source devices - subject to
administrator-assigned rights and
access permissions. The user can
access post-production servers,
scheduling computers and other
sources at their own terminal and
can instantly switch between them.
Draco tera enterprise and compact
switches are available in ﬁxed and
modular format from eight ports,
through several steps, up to 288
ports. They handle all video formats,
including DVI and HD-SDI up to
4K as well as USB 2.0 and 3.0 and
analogue and digital audio.
Multiple switches can be connected
together with Matrix Grid for larger
installations. Ports are individually
assigned as input or outputs in
any combination, giving maximum
ﬂ exibility to the installation and
changed to suit business objectives.
The switches incorporate extensive
control and monitoring capability
for versatility in all applications and
include SNMP monitoring and the
ability to easily integrate them into
broadcast installations.
Thinklogical's KVM extenders
allow computing resources to be
located in secure machine room

and operated via uncompressed
6.25 gigabit per second links that
extend KVM and serial devices up
to 80 kilometres over multi-mode
or single-mode optical ﬁbre. The
company's KVM extenders support
SDI, DVI (single link and dual-link),
analogue video, USB-HID, USB
1, USB 2 (at 480 megabits per
second), USB 3, serial, keyboard,
mouse, CD quality audio, and
10/100 network extension.
The Velocitykvm T-4200 series of
products is typically housed in a 2U
chassis now scaled down to a 1U
size with a dual interface and power
supply. The Velocity T-Series Module
4 is an interface option, designed
for use in the T-4200 series. This
module supports one single-link
DVI display, PS2, full duplex stereo
audio, stereo emitter, and serial
(RS-232). Thinklogical's StudioPRO
Extenders are designed to support
one DVI display (Single-Link or
Dual-Link models) as well as up
to four USB 2 peripherals. Using
multi-mode or single mode ﬁbre, the
system allows users to locate DVI
monitors and peripherals via ﬁbre
up to 80 kilometres away from the
controlling computer.
