Guntermann & Drunck, a German manufacturer of keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) solutions, has introduced the PersonalWorkplace-Controller, a fully integrated solution that supports operation of complex activities and processes in control rooms or control centers.
More and more image and video signals are now entering the control room, where they need to be monitored, controlled, and managed. Employees as well as teams have to process a lot of visual information, analyse information and coordinate activities. This is often carried out on many screens at different places in the room. With the PersonalWorkplace-Controller, workflows and processes can be conveniently operated from one monitor by flexibly displaying multiple sources.
To be launched at the beginning of 2024, the system captures and transmits up to 27 image
sources to up to four 5K displays or other screen configurations as well as additional IP
streams. Each source can be dynamically scaled, repositioned, and controlled.
Instead of using a separate monitor for each process, the PersonalWorkplace-Controller captures and transmits multiple video signals and streams to a larger monitor or multiple displays. Working areas can be flexibly configured, scaled, and arranged using different computer sources and video streams. The image sources can be individually overlapped, cropped, or protected against each other without being restricted to the conventional four- or six-image layout.
Users can now easily switch between saved presets making the system quick and easy to use even with different applications or by different employees.
In addition to the clear visualisation on one monitor, the PersonalWorkplace-Controller also enables integrated and flexible access to all required data in real time. The new range offers an optimal user experience with supported resolutions of up to 5K @ 60Hz. Multiple screens of the same resolution can be combined as extended monitors to create large displays.
Especially when setting up ergonomic workplaces and monitoring areas on larger screens, operating several computers from a single console greatly facilitates the work process. The displays can be used in landscape or portrait format or in combination.
