IP addressing
The InvisaPC Receiver and Transmitter are IP-addressable devices, giving you the flexibility to
locate workstations anywhere within your enterprise and at any distance from your desktop users.
The InvisaPC receiver and transmitter use standard network protocols to transfer data between the
remote workstation and the peripheral devices located at the user’s desk. The InvisaPC Receiver and
Transmitter can operate on a network connection of 100 Mbps or better.
Support for keyboards, mice and mass storage devices
USB keyboards and mice are fully supported by the InvisaPC system. The remote workstation
default keyboard and mouse drivers are fully supported, enabling the InvisaPC system to support
two, three and five-button mice with scroll and tilt-wheel capability. Composite mouse and
keyboard devices are also supported, along with mass storage devices and other types of USB
devices. CD and DVD/ROM drives, thumb drives, printers, pen tablets, and isochronous USB
devices such as headsets and webcams are supported.
Support for non-keyboard and mice
USB re-direction
(also called virtual USB) is provided
automatically on the InvisaPC Receiver, but can be overridden by the admin. In an InvisaPC
Receiver, the first three devices that are not keyboard or mouse are assigned to the virtual USB
channel (vUSB channel or USB re-direction) and passed to the remote computer. When connecting
to a non-Transmitter target (i.e. remote FX virtual desktop), USB is supported for common USB
devices.
NOTE:
Release 1 will not support USB redirection or mass storage devices.
NOTE:
A hub can be attached externally to the InvisaPC Receiver, but a maximum of three devices can be
assigned to vUSB or USB re-direction. Multiple keyboard and mice can additionally be supported –
though all use the default drivers.
The InvisaPC transmitter provides a single physical USB interface by providing an integrated hub
within the transmitter.
Video
The InvisaPC system supports Video of 24-bit color depth up to a maximum resolution of 1920 x
1200 at 60 Hz on both transmitter and receiver. A DVI-I connector is provided on both Receiver and
Transmitter, but only digital video is supported. The system supports DDC version 2B.
DDC2B is a bidirectional serial communication between a computer graphics interface and display
device. This standard describes and compares each display control interface.
