ADDERLink ALIF2020P INFINITY dual-DVI Network Extender Set

ADDERLink ALIF2020P INFINITY dual-DVI Network Extender Set

The next addition to the ADDERLink INFINITY digital KVM matrix range.

ADDERLink INFINITY dual allows you to build a flexible infrastructure, the likes of which have not been possible before. Locate computers anywhere you like, share connections to computers, watch the interactions others have with computers, share control, collaborate, switch computers, and so on.

The ADDERLink INFINITY range is also the first of its kind to allow multicasting across your network. The ADDERLink INFINITY dual interfaces USB peripherals such as the keyboard, mouse or graphics tablet, together with DVI for the video display, over a layer 3, standard gigabit ethernet network, on copper or fiber.

Dual Link DVI - Dual Head DVI - Dual IP Carrier Type (copper & fiber)

Fully compatible with ADDERLink INFINITY and A.I.M. management interface

Dual link or dual head DVI

The ADDERLink INFINITY dual features full DVI connectivity for either dual link or dual head applications. DVI delivers native digital video signals from your computer to your digital panel (LCD for example) without the need to convert signal types from the digital domain. By delivering native digital video throughout the ADDERLink INFINITY network, you can be assured of accuracy on each and every pixel.

Network Topology - CATx or fiber

You can configure your network topology to best suit your needs. If you simply want to extend one computer Tx to one user Rx, you can do so by connecting both Tx and Rx units via a low cost CATx cable or fiber. Distance is not limited - a single copper network cable will deliver IP traffic up to 100 meters away. If you want to go further, simply add a network switch in to achieve an additional 100 meters. This can be done as many times if you wish. The ADDERLink INFINITY network is assumed to be a private network which you manage. As such, you can control maximum data rates generated by each Tx unit to ensure absolute stability.

Perfect Digital Video

The ADDERLink INFINITY makes use of multiple video encode technologies devised by Adder to deliver the very best picture available. Our encoding systems are spatially lossless, with 1:1 pixel mapping, so the digital video you receive is the same as the digital video leaving the remote computer.

USB True Emulation

Like the ADDERLink INFINITY, the ADDERLink INFINITY dual enables you to connect any USB human interface device from mice and keyboards through to graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks and 3D explorers. Furthermore, most other USB devices can also be attached, such as Mass Storage devices.

Wireless Connectivity

Because of the efficient manner in which ADDERLink INFINITY dual constructs data for IP transmission, it is perfectly reasonable to make use of standard off-the-shelf wireless routing to connect either Rx or Tx units to your network. Typical desktop applications (word processing, datasheet etc.) will use very little bandwidth.

USB 2.0

The ADDERLink INFINITY dual uses USB 2.0 connectivity to interface with your keyboard and mouse, and any other peripheral you wish to use. USB is the most broadly used computer peripheral interface standard available.

Digital Stereo Audio

ADDERLink INFINITY dual delivers crystal clear stereo audio digitally across the network. This ensures continuous fidelity and channel separation between the Tx and Rx units, or even in Multicast environments.

A.I.M./API Control

Using A.I.M. gives access to advanced management functions including an EPG style on screen displaying a window which appears in front of the users screen detailing the channels available to them. An administrator can specify different channels and permissions for each user.

RS232 Interface

The ADDERLink INFINITY dual includes a bidirectional RS232 interface which can be used to connect devices such as touch screens, simple printers or to control external equipment, and feedback remote data sources.
