INTRODUCTION
The Logical Solution
VelocityKVM Fiber-Optic Extension Systems are designed for high performance
visual applications that require video as well as peripheral support. The system allows users, via
fiber-optic cable, to station and operate video monitors and peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from
the controlling computer, securely and without loss of resolution. The VelocityKVM system is designed
to support PS2, full duplex stereo audio, serial (RS-232) and USB 1.0 (HID).
Available options include:
• Single-Mode or Multi-Mode Optics
• USB HID only (eliminates USB 2.0 for added security)
• Separate Data Paths for keyboard/mouse (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
• Separate Audio Paths (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
• Multi Path (Multiple Video Paths) (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
• RS-422 serial port for controlling broadcast equipment
• Automatic Fail-Over (See Appendix C, pg. 53)
• Professional Audio TOSLINK, AES and S/PDIF plug-in modules (pg. 12)
VelocityKVM products are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the broadcast and post-
production field, as well as command/control centers, universities, large scale digital signage and other
commercial KVM applications.

VelocityKVM Extenders (pg. 41).
Theory of Operation
MRTS Technology 6.25 Gbps. Allows Full Frame Rate Transmission of Uncompressed DVI
Powered by Thinklogical’s cutting edge, patent-pending MRTS (Multi Rate Transmission System)
Technology, this KVM extension system transports every frame of a DVI or RGB video stream seam-
lessly with no compression or dropped frames. In addition, all high speed peripherals function with no
latency.
The VelocityKVM Extension System
The VelocityKVM Extension System has a simple transmitter/receiver design which allows for ease of
installation and straight-forward deployment. Incorporating standard SFP+ transceivers, the transmitter
and the receiver can be connected by a multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable, depending on the
user’s needs. The transmitter unit connects to the CPU with the supplied peripheral cables. In addition,
a local video, keyboard and mouse port is available on the transmitter. The receiver unit provides
connections to the various user interface devices.
