Perfect
Networking with

n
times
of
increasingly
interconnected
broadcasters,
automated processes and with IPbased workflows, the importance of
perfectly coordinated IT infrastructures
in the broadcast industry increases
also. KVM systems can make a decisive
contribution to these infrastructures.
They allow distributed workstations
optimal access to various broadcast
systems, and offer users the highest
possible flexibility and usability.
In order to present existing and
prospective customers with the
latest KVM developments, German
manufacturer G&D uses its partner
network and is therefore joined by
Omnio Technologies ME at CABSAT in
Dubai.
Thus, G&D has again expanded its
CrossDisplay-Switching - an intuitive
way to easily switch systems with the
mouse pointer. The function enables
users to simultaneously operate
multiple sources over multiple displays
placed at a workstation. This setup
can be operated with only a single
keyboard and mouse combination.
If the mouse pointer is moved over
the screen edge, the KVM system
will automatically switch keyboard
and mouse focus to the source of
the respective neighbouring screen.
Thus the user does not have to worry
about the background infrastructure
- but can instead keep track of tasks
and work intuitively, as with a virtual
desktop. G&D has now perfected this
functionality and so now computers
with
multi-head
graphics
are
supported. Thus, an unlimited mix of
scenarios can be switched from all

sources, and the user always operates
in the visible area and never "flies
blind".
Scenario switching is an ideal
addition for workstations that use
CrossDisplay-Switching. The feature
allows users to activate recurring
switching states with a single
command.
To be able to respond to increasing
image resolutions G&D has continued
to improve its video transmission.
The multi-level compression method
High Dynamic Image Processing
Level 3 allows visually almost lossless
transmission.
Considering it the manufacturer's
responsibility to provide optimal video
transmission, G&D has developed its
own compression method. Its biggest
advantage is the compatibility within
the system. Via a simple firmware
update, existing installations can now
also benefit from the further improved
image quality.
G&D also has something to offer to
anyone who is looking for completely
transparent
image
transmission
instead of a visually lossless one.
The existing DL-Vision system for
uncompressed video transmission
is now complemented by the even
more
powerful
DP1.2-VisionXG.
Again, transmission takes place
pixel-by-pixel between computer and
workplace - and at resolutions up to
4K, with a refresh rate of full 60 Hz.
In this process the absolutely lossless,
uncompressed transmission of KVM
signals is carried out via optical
fibres.
With the option to decide between
compressing and transparent systems,
users at G&D can choose a solution
that fits their individual
applications best. High
image quality, operation
without any latency,
and optimal usability
are guaranteed for all
systems.

CrossDisplaySwitching can be
easily operated
via touch panels
