Routing Thinklogical Extenders through the TLX48 2RU
Comprised of a fiber-in, fiber-out matrix switch and fiber-optic KVM Transmitter and Receiver Extenders, this
complete system provides transparent and secure routing, switching and extension of video and high-speed data
peripherals to remote destinations with ease.
Matrix Switch Transmit / Receive Concept
Connecting to the Receiver
The Receiver serves as the Destination
(desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control
consoles, video walls, etc.). Depending on your configuration, your KMASS devices (audio, keyboard, mouse,
etc.) are connected to the Receiver first, using standard cables. Power can then be applied to the unit. The
Receiver then connects to the TLX48 Receiver ports using fiber (Multi-mode fiber for distances up to 400m;
Single-mode fiber for distances beyond 400m).
Connecting to the Transmitter
The Transmitter serves as the Source
(computer and video entities). If the source includes a workstation,
depending on your configuration, your local KMASS devices (audio, keyboard, mouse, etc.) should be connected
first. The video sources (e.g., computers, tape decks, etc.) are connected next, followed by any local video
devices. Power can then be applied to the unit. The Transmitter connects to the TLX48 Transmitter ports using
fiber-optic cables (Multi-mode fiber for distances up to 400m; Single-mode fiber for distances beyond 400m).
