Thinklogical Announces Uncompressed 60Hz 4K Video Extended and Switched Using Only Two Fiber or Catx Cables

	Thinklogical's TLX module

Thinklogical, a manufacturer of secure, high performance KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) extension and switching systems for video-rich applications, says it is the first company to deliver extension and switching for full, uncompressed 4K video with full color depth at 60Hz frame rate, via a new family of DisplayPort and HDMI solutions, using only two fibers or Catx cables. This reduces the cost and infrastructure required to manage content created in the growing 4K industry standard without compromising quality, resolution, or performance.

The new products will be showcased at ISE -- Integrated Systems Europe, February 10 - 12 in Amsterdam, where Thinklogical is exhibiting in stand 11-D46.

This 4K signal management solution is enabled through the company's new TLX KVM matrix switches and extenders. TLX matrix switches and extenders are based on an innovative new, single-data-stream 10Gbps architecture that supports delivery of uncompressed video, audio, and peripheral data over both fiber-optic and Catx infrastructure, minimizing the number of components and cables required when compared to alternative solutions. The company says TLX offers the lowest signal latency in the industry (microseconds, vs. milliseconds for compressed solutions), and no visual artifacts, jitter or lost frames. It is ideal for mission-critical, video-rich applications in defense and intelligence, broadcast and post-production, oil and gas, energy management, air traffic control, simulation and visualization, rental and staging, and other markets with advanced customer requirements.

"Building on Thinklogical's proven track record of technology-focused and customer-driven innovation, we are proud to introduce the first truly uncompressed 4K video signal management solution in the industry, capable of extending and switching 60Hz 4K video with full resolution and color depth over just two cables, which can be either fiber or Catx," said Joe Pajer, president and CEO of Thinklogical. "Users needing to extend and switch 4K video no longer have to compromise performance and resolution with lower-bandwidth KVM products that compress and alter the signal, nor do they need to work around the additional latency created in those compressed solutions."

Pajer added, "Thinklogical's TLX series is an industry breakthrough that brings 4K signal management into the mainstream, improving productivity and quality while minimizing cable and equipment footprint. A true 4K extension and switching solution for customers with mission-critical applications is now available, and only from Thinklogical."

Thinklogical also includes an innovative connector on its TLX extenders. The connector can receive both HDMI and DisplayPort cables, reducing the number of extenders needed, eliminating the requirement for an external adapter or dongle to convert from DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI, and allowing the customer to upgrade from HDMI to DisplayPort when and as they need to in the future, with no change in equipment. When combined with a Thinklogical TLX matrix switch, it becomes easy to intermingle and connect HDMI/DVI and DisplayPort sources and displays.

TLX solutions are available for order now from Thinklogical and authorized resellers.
