Opticis Introduces the KVMExpress DVI and Serial I/O Extension System.SUNGNAM CITY, South Korea -- Opticis Co., Ltd., the leading developer and manufacturer of optical extension cables and modules for system integrated Information Technology (company) Integrated Information Technology - (IIT) A Santa Clara based company producing a programmable, single chip H.261 and MPEG system. The chip contains a RISC processor, originally based on the MIPS architecture but now called RISCit, and a "Pixel Processor". applications, is now shipping a Transmit and Receive Box system linked by two strands of Single Mode 8/125 micron glass optical fiber that provides 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. , 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. , and RS-232 communications up to 2 km (6,600 ft). The serial I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output on the Transmit box consists of a four-port USB 1.1 integrated hub (12Mbps) and an RS-232 DB-9 port (1Mbps). The DVI interface transmits SXGA (Super XGA) A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. SXGA is commonly used on standard monitors, but provides a 1.25:1 aspect ratio, compared to the more common 1.33:1 (4:3) ratio. SXGA+ has a 1400x1050 resolution, which is an exact 1.33:1 ratio. See PC display modes. (1280x1024) graphic signals at 60Hz and 24 bit-color with full DDC2B DDC2B Display Data Channel Standard, Level 2B and Hot-Plug Detect support. Not only will traditional Keyboard-Video-Mouse applications such as network control rooms benefit from KVMExpress, but likewise digital projectors and large format display systems share similar video and serial communication needs. The KVMExpress is unique as it multiplexes the DVI protocol, it's Display Data Channel (DDC See VESA DDC. ) command interface and two serial protocols over a copper-free link. Data security, long lengths up to 2km, easy plug-and-go installation with just two SC-terminated glass optical fibers, and no RFI/EMI effects, are the benefits of the all-glass fiber transmission medium. "The KVMExpress system reaffirms our objective of providing long-length, picture-perfect links for all-digital display systems and serial input/output ports," said Byeong-Ho Park, VP Sales & Marketing, of Opticis Co. "Display and control applications, digital signage and machine automation markets need extensions featuring electrical isolation, multiple protocols and no loss of video data quality." Opticis Co. is displaying the KVMExpress cable at booth 4019 June 7-9 at InfoComm 2006 in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. Product is shipping now to Opticis' OEM Partners and Distributors. About Opticis Founded in 1999 by a team of optical engineers who pioneered Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested ) diode manufacturing, Opticis Co. is the leading developer and manufacturer of optical USB, DVI and FireWire extension cables and modules for digitally connecting peripherals to host devices. Replacing today's limited bandwidth copper cables, with glass optical cables integrated with reliable and cost-effective electro-optical technology, is its mission. Opticis is headquartered in Sungnam City, South Korea, with a North American field office in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. Visit www.opticis.com for additional information. |
