DP1.2-Vision-IP – extends DisplayPort signals over standard IP-based networks on layer 3
The KVM-over-IP extender system DP1.2-Vision-IP extends the following signals:
- DisplayPort 1.2a
- Keyboard/mouse (USB and PS/2)
- Audio + RS232
- USB HID Generic
The system processes DisplayPort 1.2 image data pixel-perfectly and with very good hand-eye coordination. The possible image resolution corresponds to a pixel rate of 25MPixel/s up to
600MPixel/s. Signals are transmitted in compressed form using CAT cabling or optical fibers as well as over IP-based networks on layer 3 – even across network boundaries.
DP1.2-Vision-IP systems consist of a computer module (transmitter) and a console module (receiver) and facilitate the remote operation of a computer. By means of manual bandwidth management, the transmission can be adapted to a wide range of bandwidth requirements. Video, keyboard, mouse and control data is encrypted with AES-128.
Operating principle
Extenders of the DP1.2-Vision-IP series use G&D’s KVM-over-IP™ technology to transmit signals. The transmission is based on IP networks over gigabit Ethernet (OSI model, layer 3). The devices include with a network interface for transmitting data, WebIF, configuration, monitoring, SNMP and updates. They are also equipped with a management network interface that provides all of the above functions in addition to data transmission.
For monitoring, DP1.2-Vision-IP uses G&D’s proven monitoring and SNMP technology. The system can be configured by via web interface or OSD. Due to predefined IP addresses, plug & play is supported for both console and computer modules. Therefore, it couldn’t be easier to use existing network infrastructures or CAT cables or optical fibres in a 1:1 connection to put the modules into operation. Within the KVM-over-IP product family, the different extender variants are compatible with each other, allowing any mixmatching of different video interfaces on console and computer modules.
G&D’s KVM-over-IP technology can be used extremely flexible. The KVM-over-IP extenders can be operated in a matrix mode using an additional control unit, the ControlCenter-IP. This allows the distribution and sharing of signals within a LAN infrastructure. Users can also access their systems within the LAN network regardless of actual ranges. However, data transmission with KVM-over-IP technology is not compatible with classic KVM extenders from G&D.

- SNMP (trap and agent)
- Galvanic separation of transmitter and receiver (only with Fiber), less sensitive to interfering radiation
- High reliability
Screen freeze function
If the receiver loses the video signal due to a broken connection or a problem with the computer‘s graphics card, the Screen freeze function „freezes“ the image last displayed on the monitor. This status is highlighted by a red semi-transparent frame. The function is automatically cancelled when the display receives an active video signal.
Monitoring
With the Monitoring function, you can auto-output device status messages to Syslog servers or via SNMP. The web interface lets you monitor the device manually.
The monitoring function of the DP1.2-Vision-IP queries the following values:
• 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 (fiber variant)
• Status interfaces transmitter and receiver
• Freeze status
• Type of display (local and remote)
• Proactive monitoring of device status
• Event reporting function (syslog or SNMP traps)
The video shows you the differences between classic KVM and KVM-over-IP and the challenges and advantages of IP transmission – explained on the example of KVM-over-IP extenders.
