The demonstrations highlight how fiber-optic-based video and KVM

switching and extension solutions from Thinklogical address many of

the complex signal management challenges facing today's broadcast and

video post-production professionals. Signal management products from

Thinklogical are optimized for broadcast, mobile production trucks,

and post-production applications where quality, performance and

security are paramount. Demonstrations and displays at the

Thinklogical booth include:

System Management Portfolio To help users easily manage and maintain

Thinklogical deployments of any size, Thinklogical is introducing the

System Management Portfolio. Encompassing four specialized software

packages, the Thinklogical System Management Portfolio provides

powerful remote management and maintenance capabilities, making it

easier for users to set up, configure, operate and update a

Thinklogical signal extension and switching system. Features and

benefits include:

-- A standard software package included with every Thinklogical MX and

VX matrix switch, the Configurator's intuitive graphical user

interface enables faster router set-up and helps simplify defining

users, groups, stations and macros.

-- The Premium Configurator offers synchronized system management for

use with redundant routing systems, enabling automatic configuration

synchronization. It also provides users with premium tie-line

management for bidirectional tie lines, with no restrictions for video

path direction over tie lines. Included with the Premium Configurator

is a drag-and-drop graphical user interface, which allows users to

easily model their physical system layout on-screen and quickly switch

sources and destinations by simply moving the content source icon to

the desired destination. As room configurations evolve over time users

can easily add or remove icons representing sources and destinations

from the layout as required, making it simple to adapt to changing

requirements.

-- The Hot-Key Manager provides control access from workstations,

granting any authorized receiver on the router the ability to make a

switch. Users define a set of keystrokes to deliver routing control to

the desktop, all managed through an easy-to-understand on-screen

display. With a simple keystroke or movement of the mouse, multiple

users in different locations can easily exchange a single source's

keyboard and mouse to more efficiently collaborate and share

resources.

-- The System Management Interface introduces system diagnostics,

remote monitoring and software updating capabilities to Thinklogical

system administration. The Interface monitors the connection and

system hardware and software providing various details such as product

type, serial number, power supply status, board temperature, optical

module status DDC mode, and software version, among other parameters.

The included System Update software allows users to remotely update

their KVM system hardware over a fiber connection up to 80 kilometers

(50 miles) away.

The new System Management Portfolio from Thinklogical improves overall

system performance and value by reducing support effort, lowering

total cost of ownership, enhancing productivity and maximizing system

uptime.

Industry-Leading Digital Cinema 4K Products See Thinklogical's modular

4K SMPTE Digital Cinema signal management solutions in action. This

industry-leading product line includes 6.25Gbps extenders and matrix

switches supporting four single-link DVI signals, two dual-link DVI

signals, four 1.5G SD/HD-SDI signals, and two 3G SDI signals.

Performance and Productivity for File-Based Video Editing Workflows

Experience the collaboration and productivity of video and KVM

extension and switching capabilities in the Post Production suite

demonstration. Users can sit at a typical post-production editing desk

and assign and switch HD and 4K video and audio signals from multiple

sources to different destinations with no latency or loss of quality.

Flexible and Efficient Modular System Design Review the Q and T-Series

modular system designs, supporting a breadth of video, audio and

peripheral data connections and formats in a flexible, space-saving

configuration that accommodates the system requirements known today,

while allowing for expansion and implementation of requirements that

may develop in the future. Highlights include the new eSATA extender

module and compact 4200-Series chassis that holds four modules and is

ideal for use in mobile broadcast production trucks where space is at

a premium.
