The matrix-compatible KVM extenders of the DP1.2-Vision series extend keyboard, video, and mouse signals, as well as other peripheral data (e.g., audio and USB), via a dedicated CAT or fiber connection (up to 10,000 m). An extender system consists of a computer module (CPU) and a compatible console module (CON). Computers can be controlled in near real-time – both in extender and matrix applications.
The DP1.2-Vision series supports DisplayPort1.2 for ultra-high-resolution video up to 4096 × 2160 (60 Hz) or 5120 × 2160 (50 Hz). Video data is processed pixel-perfectly and offers excellent hand-eye coordination, thanks to bluedec™ – G&D's advanced, multi-stage, lossless compression technology.
You can integrate the matrix-compatible extenders into a complete installation with a ControlCenter-Compact or ControlCenter-Digital, even at a later point in time.
Video
bluedec™ – advanced developed multi-stage compression for best video quality and practically latency-free transmission. This method enables pixel-perfect video transmission with efficient bandwidth use.
The end devices can be flexibly combined with each other, even if they process different video signals (Mix & Match)
EDID data utilization from the workplace monitor
Flexible EDID profile options for optimized monitor settings

Device
Improved security through physical separation between workplaces and computers
Access to standard interfaces of the computer, with no software installation required
The devices are compatible with the ControlCenter-Digital and ControlCenter-Compact series (matrix operation) and other end devices for computer and workplace connections (extender operation)
Internal power pack for main power supply
CON-2 variant: console module with two transmission lines for redundancy
These modules can be connected to various counterparts, such as compatible computer modules or KVM matrix switches, whereby switching is carried out via pushbuttons, hotkeys or automatically, depending on the configuration
UC variant: computer module with two transmission lines for redundancy
These modules can be connected to various counterparts, such as compatible console modules or KVM matrix switches
MultiChannel variants (MC): Modules for multi-monitor workplaces with multi-channel video
MC mode uses the full bandwidth for each video channel, whereby a separate transmission line is required for each channel
Warranty
A 3-year, free of charge product guarantee
Security features
Console modules do not store security-relevant information such as login credentials, which could be extracted in the event of device loss
Early detection of security incidents or unusual activities through continuous monitoring via Syslog, monitoring, and SNMP
Comprehensive rights management and user administration, allowing precise control over which user can access which resources
Option for activatable access protection (default operating mode in matrix systems), in which authentication is required before accessing computer sources
Support for external directory services (Active Directory, Radius, LDAP) to meet company security policies
To comply with individual password policies and improve security, password complexity can be configured system-wide
Configurable login options, such as displaying terms of use or setting the maximum acceptable number of failed login attempts, can enhance system security
Auto Backup Function: Automates backups at user-defined intervals and replaces manual intervention – ensuring reliable, timely data protection without the need for continuous monitoring
Freeze function: If the video signal is lost, the last displayed image is frozen and highlighted with a colored frame and timer
2-Factor-Authentication (2FA) – is integrated by default in KVM extenders and enhances security by requiring a second, possession-based factor during user authentication:
The traditional password authentication is combined with a time-limited, single-use code (Time-Based-One-Time-Password - TOTP)
You can choose between using the internal authentication server provided in the device or an external directory service
Authenticator apps or hardware token can be used
This additional layer of protection prevents unauthorized access and ensures the highest level of security, particularly in sensitive IT environments
Operation features
Ready for operation out of the box, no additional configuration required
Permanent keyboard/mouse emulation ensures a stable system
Compatibility with special USB-HID input devices
Operation via multilingual on-screen display (OSD) and hotkeys
Configuration and update via the multilingual HTML5 web interface “Config Panel 21” (Java-free)
Support of DDC/CI (Display Data Channel / Command Interface) to enable centralized software-side control of monitor settings such as brightness
Local console at the computer module allows on-site operation, including all video channels
Exclusive or concurrent operation: The KVM extender allows computer control both remotely and locally. When an input is detected, the extender automatically locks the competing console. The lock is lifted after a preset timeout if no further input is detected. A key combination can activate exclusive operation, immediately disabling the competing console. Another key combination restores shared control.
