Designed to deliver HD video at 60fps, the new Draco vario ultra series is IHSE’s new addition to its KVM portfolio

IHSE has expanded its Draco ultra series with the development of the Draco vario ultra KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extender.

The new Draco vario ultra series is able to deliver transmission of HD video at 60fps, alongside keyboard, mouse and data signals with “imperceptible latency”. Users are able to deploy the Draco ultra KVM extenders for A/V applications in rental and staging, control centres and virtual reality (VR) installations, IHSE recommended.

Equipped with the Lici video codec, the new extender models enable remote operation of a computer from a user workstation, consisting of a keyboard, mouse and video screen, and are capable of managing HDMI 1.3 and 2.0, SDI, DVI-D, and DVI-I (VGA) signals.

The SDI extender further converts SDI sources for display on standard computer monitors. Digital audio signals can also be de-embedded and output as analogue audio to other devices, such as external speakers or headphones.

Another two models — DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 — are capable of delivering 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) video at 60fps, with a colour depth of 10 bits per RGB colour channel, and 4:4:4 colour sampling over a single KVM connection.

IHSE will be exhibiting the Draco vario ultra series at booth 10-P135 during ISE, which will be held from Feb 6-9 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
