The Velocity8 series is comprised of four different models, all of which are designed to support one Dual-Link DVI display, PS2, full duplex stereo audio, and serial (RS-232). Depending on your requirements model options feature either USB 1.0 HID (only), USB 1.1, USB 1.1 with Ethernet 10/100 Base-T network extension, or USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps) device ports. Using multi-mode or single-mode fiber, the system allows users to locate a DVI monitor and peripherals via fiber from just a few meters up to 10 kilometers away from the controlling computer securely without the loss of resolution.

Powered by iTechLCD's cutting edge, patent-pending MRTS (Multi Rate Transmission System) technology, this extension system transports every frame of a DVI video stream seamlessly, with no compression, or dropped frames. In addition, all high speed peripherals function with no latency making it ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the broadcast and post-production field, as well as command and control centers, universities, large scale digital signage, and any other commercial KVM applications.

The System

The Velocity8 has a simple transmitter/receiver design which allows for ease of installation and straight forward deployment. Depending on the user's infrastructure, the transmitter and the receiver can be connected by multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable. The transmitter unit connects to the CPU with the supplied peripheral cables. In addition, a local video, keyboard, and mouse ports are on the transmitter. The receiver unit provides connections to the user interface devices.

Leveraging standard SFP+ transceivers, the system allows for the usage of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable. The Velocity8 requires three fibers for a dual-link multi-mode configuration. Two fibers are dedicated to the video and USB while the third fiber is the back channel for the USB and DDC. The DDC (Display Data Channel) or EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information is provided to the CPU by either a generic table stored inside the transmitter, or from a display connected to the transmitters local port. Also, the added capability of active DDC allows the remote monitor to send its display capabilities to the CPU. Multi-mode models are available with SC, ST, or LC type fiber connectors.

The Velocity8 is also offered in a single-mode option. Standard fiber count is three, however models with fewer fibers are available. For single-mode models we recommend SC/APC (Angle Polished Connector) for optimum performance.
