Three New Extenders from Gefen Streamline Computer Video Extension with USB Peripherals over CAT5 or CAT6 Cables for a Longer Distance Delivery

Digital connectivity solutions provider Gefen today announced the availability of three new KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extenders. Now you can place computers in a rack, machine room or secure location, with the ability to extend DVI (or VGA) displays, USB keyboard/mouse and other USB 2.0 accessories to the work space. These new solutions create a quiet work environment best suited for audio/video editing professionals. Next generation features offer added value for the user, streamlining the amount of cables needed while expanding the overall distance of extension.

CAT5-1600A
Gefen CAT5 1600A
The CAT5-1600A offers analog VGA users a long-range extension solution up to 1000 feet (300m) in distance. It extends VGA over one CAT-5 cable, supporting resolutions up to 1920×1200. The receiver unit provides a mirrored VGA output, while the sender unit supports the connection of an additional display for monitoring the computer source. Video adjustments for color, brightness and focus improve imagery when using a very long CAT-5 cable for signal extension. Four USB 2.0 peripherals are extended up to 330 feet (100m) over a second dedicated CAT-5 cable. Audio is also extended to the remote location.

CAT5-1600HD
Gefen CAT5 1600HD
The CAT5-1600HD extends DVI at full signal link resolutions to 200 feet (60m) over a single CAT-6a cable. High resolution video is supported up to 1920×1200/1080p with a perfect signal replication at the remote location. An additional CAT-5e cable extends up to four USB 2.0 peripherals capable of driving keyboard/mouse, printers, scanners, cameras, hard drives and any device using USB to connect to the computer.

CAT5-5600HD
Gefen CAT5 5600HD
The CAT5-5600HD extends two DVI displays with USB 2.0 peripherals to 200 feet (60m) using one cable (CAT-5/CAT-6) to extend all four USB peripherals, and two CAT-6a cables to extend both displays. Users typically use the second extended display to create an expanded desktop with support for high resolution video up to 1920×1200/1080p. The CAT5-5600HD is perfect for post-production and broadcast markets, or for anyone working with today’s popular video/audio editing systems.

All of Gefen’s KVM extenders are rack mountable, cross-platform in capability, offer locking power connectors to eliminate potential disconnects and are Energy Star compliant.

Multi Screen Appliance for Efficient and Effective Digital Signage

DT Research™, Inc., an industry leader in the development of information appliances for vertical markets, today announced a new signage appliance for powering two screens with digital content, the MS200.

The WebDT MS200 Multi Screen Appliance powers multiple screens for digital signage applications. Featuring the powerful and energy-efficient Intel® Core™ processor, the MS200 includes the latest graphics technology with two outputs for high-quality video and optimal display experience. Combined with the industry-leading WebDT Content Manager software, one MS200 is capable of driving dynamic

content on 2 screens, while communicating with the server for continuous updates. These screens can be configured into one video wall or they can be spread out to serve separate areas, with the MS200 delivering up to 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution to each screen. A display can be divided into up to 16 zones of media, for dynamic messages, and the MS200 offers content flexibility for image, flash and multimedia file formats stretched across multiple screens or played on a single screen.

The WebDT MS200 is complemented by the WebDT Content Manager (WCM) software, providing the remote management of the MS player, content scheduling and layout, and power timing. WCM has a browser-based interface, allowing users to create and manage content from any PC or browser-enabled device on the network or Internet. WCM provides the flexibility to display a wide range of visual communications, including text, graphics, media files, power point presentations, data feeds, and ticker feeds. The Multiple Screen Layout tool enables the creation of the exact placement of a window or zone of content, so that a zone can be tiled across screens, zones can overlay other zones, and zones can also be stretched across multiple displays. WCM supports up to 16 content zones, and each zone can run a different type of media.

With WCM software, content can be scheduled or updated in real-time, captured from a database system, txt files, or XML. There is also support for live video-in from a TV, camcorder, DVD player, and web cam. For messages that are time-sensitive, the originally scheduled content can be interrupted with a quickly inserted Urgent cast announcement, or a Spot list tool can insert a new playlist for a special event or promotional activity.

The WebDT MS200 along with the WCM software offers a powerful digital signage system ready to deliver timely visual communications to targeted audiences. With remote management and a comprehensive yet intuitive interface, the WebDT signage system minimizes maintenance costs while maximizing efficient operations for digital signage networks.
