Guntermann & Drunck Focus On 8K

At InfoComm 2017, Guntermann & Drunck has announced that it will exhibit its range of KVM solutions, booth 2580.

One of these solutions will be the KVM extender DP1.2-VisionXG. The system makes it possible to transmit 4Kand 8K resolutions at a refresh rate of 60 Hz over large distances, uncompressed, loss-less and without latency. The KVM extender system consists of a computer module and a user module. It allows users to operate their computers remotely while benefitting from the uncompressed transmission of high-resolution DisplayPort videos over distances up to 10,000m. The device is available in variants with up to four video channels. Due to the source synchronicity of the video channels, high video resolutions such as 4K and 8K can be extended over long distances.

The DP1.2-VisionXG uses optical fibers for the dedicated transmission, so the system provides enough bandwidth for uncompressed, high-resolution DisplayPort 1.2 video signals, keyboard/mouse, RS232, USB2.0, and audio. With a network port, an intuitive web interface, monitoring, syslog, SNMP, screen freeze function and a redundant power supply, the DP1.2-VisionXG offers numerous features for mission-critical applications.

Also at InfoComm 2017, G&D will introduce the KVM extender DP1.2-Vision, which uses the in-house HDIP compression technology in the latest development stage, Level 3. This compression mode allows the loss-less transmission of video signals with a resolution of 4K at 60Hz. The systems require less bandwidth to transmit signals but still provide clear and visually lossless images and a latency-free operation. The DP1.2-Vision supports the transmission of DisplayPort1.2 signals, which takes place either via CAT cables over distances up to 140 m or via optical fibres to 10,000 m.

The KVM extender DP1.2-Vision can be combined with a matrix application and 4K signals can be distributed by matrix systems. KVM matrix systems allow the independent and remote operation of multiple computers over multiple, simultaneous consoles. It can be integrated into G&D matrix systems such as the ControlCenter-Compact or the ControlCenter-Digital, which allows the extension and switching of 4K at 60 Hz through the matrix.

The latest member of the G&D KVM family is the DP-Vision-IP, a KVM extender based on IP structures. The system supports DisplayPort video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz or 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz. Combinations with other G&D systems are also possible, allowing complex installations with worldwide access.
