G&D In Major
Expansion Of
IP Portfolio
The central appliance
ControlCenter-IP complements G&D's
KVM-over-IP extenders with extensive matrix functions

A

t BroadcastAsia, German KVM
manufacturer G&D will introduce
the new KVM-over-IP matrix as a major
expansion of its IP portfolio.
The
brand-new
and
powerful
ControlCenter-IP enables distributed
switching of computer signals via
standard IP-based networks on layer 3.
KVM-over-IP meets matrix: Following
the portfolio expansion with extender
systems based on G&D's KVM-over-IP,
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 ControlCenter-IP 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 AES-128 ensures secure and
reliable operation.
While the network infrastructure
takes over the transport of IP
packets from A to B with the help of
network switches and routers, the
ControlCenter-IP
contributes
the
logic and optimises the accessibility
of all devices by enabling switching
between transmitter and receiver
modules (CONs and CPUs). Included
are all features that have already been
very popular with users of the classic
matrix switches ControlCenter-Digital

and ControlCenter-Compact. Operators
are able to benefit from a highperformance G&D matrix environment
while at the same time using the
advantages of a flexible network.
Installations now can be easily scaled
as required and extended via standard
network elements. The transmission
length is virtually unlimited.
In addition, the device provides many
helpful control room features from
monitoring, scripting and scenario
switching to push-get for optimal
collaboration and the integration
of video walls, up to CrossDisplaySwitching for absolutely intuitive
operation at multi-monitor workplaces.
Pixel-perfect video transmission:
Video signals are processed pixelperfectly and with very good hand-eye
coordination. The already launched
extender system supports video
resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60
Hz or 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. Together
with the matrix more devices for
DVI, dual link and DisplayPort 1.2
will be launched, too. Thus, the
ControlCenter-IP will support the
extending and switching of 4K @ 60
Hz. Based on G&D's proven mix &
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
