New Series of KVM Extenders Unveiled by IHSE USA
IHSE USA Unveils Draco vario XS DisplayPort 1.2 Extender Series
IHSE USA, a leading provider of KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) extenders and switching solutions, has announced the launch of the Draco vario XS DisplayPort 1.2 Extender Series. This new family of extenders, developed in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, leverages the JPEG XS video codec to deliver high-resolution, visually lossless video transmission with extremely low latency and exceptional color fidelity [1][5].
Key features of the Draco vario XS series include:
- JPEG XS Codec: Enabling visually lossless compression with no frame drops, extremely low latency, and very high frame rates (up to 480 fps), the JPEG XS codec is ideal for demanding AV and broadcast applications [1][5].
- Wide Resolution Support: The Draco vario XS series handles video signals from Full HD to 8K, offering flexibility for various display needs [1].
- Low Latency and High Frame Rate: With less than 1 ms delay per frame and up to 480 frames per second, the Draco vario XS series ensures real-time, smooth video transmission critical for KVM extenders and live production [1].
- High Color Fidelity and HDR Support: The Draco vario XS series supports up to 16 bits deep color and high dynamic range, preserving video quality in color-critical workflows [1].
- Reduced Infrastructure Requirements: The efficiency of JPEG XS compression reduces bandwidth and infrastructure overhead compared to uncompressed or traditional codecs [1][5].
- Future-proof and Flexible Integration: Designed with support for proprietary and IP-based transmission technologies, the Draco vario XS series offers long-term availability and scalability [1].
- Energy Efficient Hardware: The Draco vario XS series uses state-of-the-art components to provide high performance while keeping power consumption low, aiding in sustainability and system longevity [1].
The Draco vario XS 1.2 is backwards compatible with current IHSE KVM systems and can be integrated into any existing IHSE Draco tera matrix system, operating at 1Gbps or 3Gbps. The extenders are available for both fiber and Cat-X infrastructures, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including command and control, airport kiosks, presentation walls, surveillance rooms, mobile production operator stations, and university campuses [6].
The compact footprint and rugged chassis of the Draco vario XS series make it ideal for centralized switching in space-constrained environments. Additionally, the series offers inherent security and support for redundant signal paths, making it suitable for mission-critical workstations [7].
The Draco vario XS series supports digital audio transmission via the DisplayPort interface and works seamlessly with existing Draco vario classic FHD extenders, allowing 2160p60 and 1080p60 sources to be viewed simultaneously on the same 4K display [8]. The redundant options in the Draco vario XS series enable parallel signal transmission in backup or fully parallel configurations [9].
The fiber link in the Draco vario XS series is generally resistant to electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for sensitive environments such as government, military, air traffic control, and healthcare [10]. The JPEG XS video codec ensures brilliant image quality at the highest video resolutions with outstanding color accuracy [11].
Upgrading to the Draco vario XS 1.2 offers a significant cost-saving path to adding 4K/60 to an existing IHSE system [12]. The Draco vario XS DisplayPort 1.2 Extender Series is a new family of extenders based on the JPEG XS video codec, setting a new benchmark for advanced KVM extender technology [1][5].
