Logical Solutions Announces Revolutionary Digital Fiber Extenders for the Animation, Simulation, Financial, and Scientific Markets.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2004 Logical Solutions (www.thinklogical.com), a leader in video extension technology, has expanded their commitment to the visualization industry by announcing their newest extension products; the KVM (K Virtual Machine) A version of the Java Virtual Machine for small devices with limited memory. See J2ME. See also KVM switch. KVM - Keyboard Video Mouse X-TENDER, and the DVI (1) (Digital Video Interactive) An earlier compression technique that provided up to 72 minutes of full-screen video on a CD-ROM. Acquired by Intel in 1988 from RCA's Sarnoff Research labs, Princeton, NJ, DVI never caught on. X-TENDER. Unlike traditional analog fiber extenders, Logical Solutions' new KVM X-TENDER transmits video and data digitally regardless of source format. Digital transmission has significant advantages over "outdated" analog technology by enhancing the "transparency" of extension systems. The video integrity through the system is never compromised. The KVM X-TENDER extension system requires only two multi-mode fibers to support either DVI or RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). video, keyboard, mouse, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , serial, full duplex (Computers) arranged so that the information may be transmitted in both directions simultaneously; - of communications channels between computers; contrasted with Unlike DVI, DFP never achieved widespread implementation. The connector was used by displays such as the Compaq Presario FP400, FP500 and 5204. monitor and likewise take digital video and output to an analog monitor A video monitor that accepts analog signals from the computer's display adapter, which does the digital-to-analog conversion. An analog monitor may accept only a narrow range of display resolutions; for example, only VGA or VGA and Super VGA, or it may accept a wide range of signals or projector. Another industry first is automatic keyboard/mouse translation. Any keyboard/mouse transmitter input is automatically translated to match whatever keyboard and mouse is connected on the receiver end; PS2, USB, or Sun. In addition the KVM X-TENDER has built-in international keyboard map capability accessible through menus on the front panel display. The DVI X-TENDER is a video only system that extends DVI signals up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) over a single strand multi-mode fiber. Logical Solutions will continue developing new visualization products. "The visualization business will contribute significantly to our growth this year and in the future." stated David Cheever, Logical Solutions' president. The scientific, command and control, entertainment, financial and engineering development markets are the primary users of such equipment. "These products represent the implementation of the latest optical and electronic technologies delivering a new standard in visualization hardware capability," according to Kevin Keefe, Logical Solutions' chief technologist and Director of Engineering.
