Section 1: TLX System Features
The Logical Solution
The TLX320 is a 10G high performance modular, non-blocking matrix switch that supports full,
uncompressed 4K video with full color depth at 60Hz frame rate for complete, end-to-end routing
of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single-mode fiber-optic cable.
This highly reliable and resilient matrix switch is expandable from 16x16 up to 320x320, which allows for
flexible deployment configurations. In addition, the TLX320 series provides mission critical dependability
and unrivalled signal integrity. Being protocol agnostic, the switch supports DVI, SDI, HD-SDI, Dual-link
DVI, Dual-link SDI, USB HID, USB 2.0 and audio.
HYBRID SWITCHING SOLUTION
For Uncompressed, High Resolution Video & KVM Systems
Thinklogical’s TLX Matrix Switches are
high performance, modular, non-blocking switches
for complete
end-to-end switching of video, audio and peripheral signals
over multi-mode or single mode fiber-
optic cable or CATx cable
.
TLX switches are
protocol agnostic
, supporting most video, audio and peripheral signals and allow users
to consolidate all their system switching requirements in a single chassis. TLX Matrix Switches are ideal
for small or large system applications, with switch sizes ranging from
12 ports to 1280 ports
. Each port
supports
10Gbps
bandwidth, preserving signal integrity to provide
uncompressed, high resolution video
with no artifacts, latency or lost frames. Thinklogica
l’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. Thinkl
ogical’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
. (See
Appendix D: Secure Applications
, on pg. 30.)
CATx Matrix Switching applications, not available on all Thinklogical Matrix Switch models, do not offer
an EAL4 rated level of security.
RESILIENCY
TLX switches are designed to maximize system uptime. The modular approach of the TLX allows user to
hot-swap all critical system components
, including power supplies (in dual supply models), fan trays,
control cards, input/output cards and pluggable optics. Furthermore, the system can be easily
reconfigured, such as adding additional input/output cards for expansion, without ever turning off the
switch or interrupting active signals.
Redundant and current-sharing power supplies
ensure
continuous, uninterrupted power to the switch. Matrix switches are also configurable to include
redundant control cards with automatic fail-over
. Enhanced diagnostics and alarms provide
extensive real-time monitoring and diagnostics of critical functions of the switch.
