AURORA - IPX – TC3
The IPX-TC3 provides one of the most advanced IP Streaming solutions on the market utilizing Aurora’s IPBaseT technology, which synergizes various IP/AV standards to work together as one. It is the industry’s first 4K2K transceiver with zero compression and latency based on BlueRiver NT platform. Using a transmitter (encoder) and receiver (decoder), respectively, used to be the standard – until now. The IPX-TC3 can be set up as either one to make installation, inventory, and troubleshooting easier. Another industry first is the option slot to add other IP capabilities, like ExtremeUSB (USB 2.0 over IP), ReAX IP control option or Dante audio, for a more complete, distributed system. Audio, video, data, and control can be sent securely to one or many units using off-the-shelf 10G Ethernet switches. When the IPX is set up to be a transmitter, the 2 HDMI inputs become a source switch and the HDMI output becomes a potential loop out. When set up as a receiver, a user can select the local HDMI inputs or an IP source. Seamless switching of sources further enhances the presentation. Regardless of how the IPX is set up, the audio can be de-embedded at any locations, break away, and/or be sent to or received from a Dante enabled device. The USB 2.0 option is also flexible, working as a KVM and/or a high-speed data transfer (480Mbps) for memory sticks. Each IPX USB feature can also be set as a host or a device. To keep the system friendly, a customizable OSB and web server are available to be programmed as required. For RJ-45 LAN devices, the 1G Ethernet port allows full bandwidth end-to-end over the IPX 10G fiber or copper port. The IPX fiber version has an SFP+ port that can use single or multi-mode fiber.

THINKLOGICAL - TLX-CMX-U00C22
The TLX-CMX-U00C22 is a 10G module integrated client transmitter. Thinklogical’s Integrated Client Transmitter hosts any standard VDI Client software, including those produced by VMware, Citrix and, Microsoft and is compatible/agnostic with most third-party accredited software images. Before Thinklogical’s Integrated Client solution, VDI meant purchasing and back-racking separate zero/thin client machines in a secure IT space, attaching them to rack mounted transmitters, and then extending the connections to the display, keyboard and mouse via a receiver located at the user’s work station. Thinklogical’s integrated approach dramatically increases the security of a VDI infrastructure by removing network cables from the user location and putting them behind the Transmitter in a secure rack room. In addition, Thinklogical’s integrated extension system does not compress signals, so the user experiences the same performance as when connected directly to a VDI client (no added latency, artifacts or dropped frames, as in compressed extension systems).
C2G - Cat5
The HDMI over Cat5 products allow for the extension of an HDMI signal over solid conductor Cat5e/6 twisted pair cable up to 300ft without signal degradation at a 1080p video resolution. This solution is compatible with any operating system and is truly plug and play with no drivers or software required. In addition, this solution utilizes TruChoice Power which provides the flexibility to power the system with a single power supply at either the transmitter or receiver end. HDBaseT technology allows the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) signals, i.e. communication of the display’s capabilities, to pass through the extension solution ensuring that the content from the source is sent at the optimal resolution for the display. Built-in power surge protection and high ground loop immunity ensure high performance signal extension. The HDMI over Cat5 extenders support advanced HDMI features such as 3D, auto lip sync, deep color, Dolby & DTS 7.1 audio, CEC and a 10.2 Gbps data transfer rate. Stranded Cat5e/6 cables may be used for HDMI extension applications up to 250ft. Shielded, solid conductor Cat5e/6 cabling is recommended for applications where the Cat5e/6 cable must be coiled, is run near other high-frequency signaling cables or in high EMI/RFI environments.
