port supports
10Gbps
bandwidth, preserving signal integrity to provide
uncompressed, high resolution
video
with no artifacts, latency or lost frames. Thinklogical’s re-clocking technology ensures that every
video and data stream is delivered in perfect synchronization.
SECURITY
Creating physical separation between potential threats (users) and the target (secure data) is essential
to a secure system design. Thinklogical’s system permits users to
access sources up to 80 kilometers
away, with no performance degradation
. System administrators can safeguard sources in a
centralized location, allowing users to maintain remote access to the sources, but with no means to
breach the system, either accidentally or intentionally (such as downloading sensitive information onto a
USB drive).
PARTITIONED AND RESTRICTED SWITCHING
To
protect data between multiple networks
, partitioning allows the switch resources to be divided to
support more than one network without allowing switching between networks. Restricted switching
allows the administrator to manage access on a port-by-port basis. Partitioned and restricted switching is
enabled through the switch’s firmware, which means a threat would have to physically access the switch
to tamper with the settings
.
Note: Partitioning and Restricted Switching security features are only available with
fiber-optic Matrix Switch applications. CATx Matrix Switching applications do not offer
the same level of security.
SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
TLX Extension Systems have a simple transmit and receive design. The TLX Transmitter connects to the
source to receive video, audio and peripheral data. Utilizing
Thinklogical’s proprietary multiplexing
technology, the data is transmitted over fiber through 10Gbps SFP+ technology for up to 80
kilometers, or over CATx cable for up to 100m
. At the TLX Receiver, Thinklogical de-multiplexes the
data stream to deliver uncompressed, high resolution video, audio and peripheral data at the end-
user’s
workstation.
TLX extension systems are highly configurable to suit the requirements of any application. Extenders are
configurable to support
up to 4K video (4096x2160) @ 60Hz, full duplex stereo audio, serial (RS-
232), USB HID, USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and 10/100/1000 Network
. The TLX design offers support for both
HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 connector types in a single extender
, with full support for HDCP
content.
Additionally, TLX extension systems support embedded audio, with the ability to de-embed audio at the
receiver. All extenders are equipped with an additional output for a local display, as well as an Ethernet
port for configuration management and updates.
For high-availability applications, redundant fiber path configurations are also available.
The TLX extension systems are
compatible with a full line of scalable, non-blocking TLX
matrix switches
, ranging from 12 to 640 ports.
