Desktender Detailed

ATRAK Logo

Overview

The new generation of ATRAK DESKTENDER extension system is designed for the highest performance display devices on the market and particularly the extreme demands of the ATC market. There is support for USB, keyboard/mouse and serial (RS232) as well as full duplex stereo audio. All signals are digitized and transmitted over three fibres, then transparently restored by the receiver. The DESKTENDER Dual-Link DVI extender has a convenient front panel display for determining system link status. All connections are standard so no special cabling is required.

The DESKTENDER Dual-Link DVI Extender does not alter the resolution of the source video. Any resolution that can be transmitted via dual-link will be supported, up to 3200 x 2400 pixels. Three fibres is the most fibre-efficient way of transporting the dual-link DVI KVM signals as well as all the supporting desktop devices, such as keyboard, mouse, serial, full-duplex audio, and stereo graphics emitter.

The system allocates 2 fibres to the dual-link DVI signals and 1 fibre to everything else. The DESKTENDER Dual-Link DVI fibre optic extension system is fully compatible with the ICC DCS fibre-in / fibre-out digital cross-point switches. The DESKTENDER fibre optic extender is a feature rich product designed to extend dual-link DVI video and KMAS signals. The video source must be single or dual-link DVI. The DESKTENDER system will support USB, PS2, and Sun (legacy) keyboard and mouse, USB tablets, full duplex stereo audio, and serial. The DESKTENDER transmitter has connections for a local single link DVI display and keyboard/mouse.

The DESKTENDER extender is a digital fibre optic transmitter/receiver system. All video, keyboard, mouse, USB, audio and serial signals from the computer source are digitized and converted to light at the transmitter.

These optical signals are then sent to the DESKTENDER fibre optic receiver via two fibres. Two fibres support the dual-link DVI video signals and the other supports all other signals.
