Thinklogical Fiber Optic KVM Extender

The Thinklogical VIS-1 is a digital fiber optic transmitter/receiver system.  This fiber optic KVM extension system is comprised of a transmitter device, which is co-located with the computer or source machine, and a receiver device, which is located close to the display, keyboard, mouse and other desktop devices. Two dedicated multimode fiber strands connect the transmitter to the receiver.

The video source for this fiber optic extender system can be either analog RGB or digital DVI.  The VIS-1 will support USB, PS2, and Sun (legacy) keyboard and mouse, USB tablets, full duplex stereo audio, serial and even stereo graphics emitter signals (BNC) for immersive graphics (3D) applications.   All video, keyboard, mouse, USB, serial, audio and stereo graphics emitter signals from the computer source are digitized and converted to light at the transmitter. These optical signals are then sent to the Vis-1 fiber optic KVM receiver via two fibers. One fiber supports the video and the other supports all other KVM signals.

The KVM receiver converts the video signals back from optical to both RGB and DVI standard formats, which allows the use of either traditional analog monitors or newer DVI display devices. If RGB is preferred, the receiver can output any of three video sync configurations, RGBHV (separate H & V), RGsB (sync on green), or RGBH/V (composite). No external converter boxes are required. The system also has connectivity for all common keyboards and mouse types, USB, PS2 and Sun legacy. All electronic conversion, remapping and even international translation is supported.

Note: The Vis-1 KVM Extender is fully compatible with all other thinklogical extenders. The transmitter from one thinklogical KVM extender may be used with any thinklogical KVM extender receiver (excepting the Dual-Link DVI products).
