DP-Vision - transmission of DisplayPort™ signals via CAT or fibre optics
The system consists of a computer module (transmitter) and a user module (receiver) and enables you to operate a computer on a local or remote console.
DP-Vision uses CAT-x cables or fibre optics to transmit signals up to 10,000 m. The devices use DisplayPort video and are available as variants displaying 1, 2, 3 or 4 video channels. It is also possible to transmit transparent USB 2.0, RS232 and audio signals.
With its network port, the web interface and monitoring functions, the DP-Vision system offers important features for mission-critical applications.
Transmission
DP-Vision systems are available as CAT or Fiber variants. These differ by the used transmission cable between the CPU and CON module.
CAT-x cable
The signals are transmitted via copper cables. You can reach up to 140 m transmission length with this cable type.
Fibre optics
Big distances are bridgeable with fibre optics. The signals can be transmitted by multimode or singlemode fibers up to 10,000 m.
Product details
Monitoring
With the Monitoring function, you can auto-output device status messages to Syslog servers or SNMP. The web interface lets you monitor the device manually. The Monitoring function of the DP-Vision queries the following values:
- Proactive monitoring of device states
- Event reporting function (Syslog or SNMP traps)
- Status power supply unit (on/off)
- Status temperature threshold device (in/over limit)
- Status connection cables (ok/nok)
- Status computer (on/off)
- Status image signal graphics card computer (available/not available)
- Status network
- Fan monitoring
- Status SFP modules (in -Fiber variants)
- Status interfaces (CPU and CON modules)
- Freeze status (all channels)
- Type of display (local and remote)
Screen-Freeze Function
If the console module loses the video signal due to a broken connection or a problem with the computer's graphics card, the Screen-Freeze function "freezes" the last displayed image of the monitor. This state is highlighted by a red semi-transparent frame. The function is automatically cancelled when the display receives an active video signal.
Video
- Highly developed compression algorhythm of the latest generation for best video quality and latency-free transmission - The High-Dynamic-Image-Processing level 3
- DisplayPort 1.1a signals
- Resolutions per channel up to 2560 × 1600 @ 60 Hz or 4096 x 2160 @ 30 Hz (more VESA and CEA standardized resolutions within the video bandwith and the horizontal / vertical frequency are possible, e.g. 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz)
- Vertical frequency: 24 Hz to 120 Hz
- 24 bit colour mode
- Transparent forwarding of E-DDC information
- Single- and multi-channel variants
Operation
- At both modules console with all video channels
- via web application Config Panel 21 or OSD
- Competing or exclusive operation via local or remote workplace
Signals
- Embedded audio on DisplayPort up to stereo PCM
- Transmission of bidirectional audio and RS232
- PS/2 and USB keyboard/mouse support
- Integrated USB 2.0 transmission with Full Speed (ARU variant)
- Transparent transmission of USB 2.0 with Hi-Speed 480 MBit/s (ARU2 variant)
- Generic USB-HID interface for connecting any HID device, e.g. touchscreens or tablets
Transmission
- Distances up to 140 meters at maximum resolution over CAT-x cable (x = 5e, 6, 7; depending on cable)
- Distances up to 400 metres at maximum resolution with multimode fiber optics
- Distances up to 5,000 (S) or 10,000 m (S+) metres at maximum resolution with singlemode fiber optics
Device
- Supports PS/2 and USB keyboard/mouse; allows mixed operation
- Permanent keyboard/mouse emulation
- Redundant, external power supply (optional)
- Ident LED helps finding the device in complex installations
- Shipped as desktop variant (Twin devices and sets for rack- or tablemounting are seperately available)
System update
- Over the config panel 21 (HTML5, Java-free, optimised operation)
Video channels
- Single-channel
- Multi-channel 2
- Multi-channel 3
- Multi-channel 4
Variants
- "U" variants: integrated USB 2.0 transmission without an additional transmission cable. This variant offers transfer speed up to 16 Mbit/s.
- "U2" variants: USB 2.0 transmission with an additional cable. This solution reaches the HiSpeed transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s.
- "UC" variants: Two different counterpart stations (either digital extenders of the Vision series or compatible matrix switches) can be connected to the target modules.
- "CON-2" variants: Two different counterpart stations (either digital extenders of the Vision series or compatible matrix switches) can be connected to the user modules.
Transmission medium
- DP-Vision-CAT variants: transmission via CAT-x cables
- DP-Vision-Fiber variants: transmission via multimode or singlemode fiber optics
The Installation
Link the computer to the back of the DP-Vision transmitter. Distinctive cables connect the computer's keyboard, video, mouse, audio, RS232, and USB interfaces to the DP-Vision computer module.
Installing the user console is just as easy: simply connect the operating hardware with the corresponding interfaces of the DP-Vision receiver.
Use the existing cabling structure to link transmitter and receiver.
Embedding extenders in digital matrix systems

To be prepared for growing installations, the integrated matrix support turns the DP1.2-Vision into a future-proof investment.
This way, it is possible to include extenders at a later point into one of the digital G&D matrix systems within an existing installation. Thus, users benefit from more flexibility through distributed access - and any existing components can still be used as before.
