Guntermann & Drunck Unveil ISE 2017 Display

Guntermann & Drunck will highlight its KVM portfolio at ISE 2017, including new systems transmitting KVM-over-IP as well as installations supporting dedicated cabling.

As the systems are compatible, there are solutions fitting any applications, either with uncompressed or compressed video transmission for resolutions up to 8K, without any latency for video quality and hand-eye-coordination, via CAT, fibre optics or over IP.

The new KVM extender DP1.2-Vision-XG extends computer signals up to 10,000m thereby transmitting 4K or even 8K video at 60 Hz pixel by pixel. The latter is carried out over up to four synchronous video channels. Transmission takes place over fibre optics to provide sufficient bandwidth for uncompressed DisplayPort signals, video, keyboard/mouse, RS232, USB 2.0 and audio.

Compared to uncompressed transmission via fibre optics, classic transmission via CAT cables is advantageous when it comes to cost. However, CAT cables allow less bandwidth and requires compression. The KVM extender DP-Vision1.2 is ready for both requirements and extends computer signals either via fibre optics up to 10,000 m or via CAT cables up to 140 m.

As for matrix modules, the new ControlCenter-Compact has replaced G&D's DVICenter. With the help of matrix switches, users are able to operate multiple computers from different, simultaneous workstations. The ControlCenter-Compact is available in six expansion levels providing between 8 and 80 dynamic ports, which can be used either as input or as output. The device is compatible with both the DVICenter and the ControlCenter-Digital as well as all end devices, ensuring it's possible to add new systems to existing infrastructures. Customers are able to choose between the use of CAT cables or fibre optics when transmitting data. A mixed variant supporting CAT and fibre complements the portfolio. In addition, the matrix switch provides features such as the Screen-Freeze function or a redundant power supply to maximise the system's reliability.

Audio-visual applications need to be easy to operate and user-friendly. To fulfil these demands, G&D provides the CrossDisplay-Switching function to use the mouse to switch between computers or the Push-Get function for the control of video walls and the improvement of the team work in control rooms. The company has improved the CrossDisplay-Switching function so that multiple monitors can be used from various sources.

Integrated SNMP and monitoring make the systems more reliable. In large, distributed installations, users are able to connect their systems via a KVM Matrix-Grid to meet the increasing demands for interconnection.

With the DP-Vision-IP system, G&D will present a KVM extender, which allows unlimited access to computers over IP structures. The system supports DisplayPort video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz or 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. The company's self-developed KVM-over-IP removes the limitations of dedicated cabling.
