As a leader in high-performance KVM systems, the company provides solutions for base-band KVM switching and KVM-over-IP (KVMoIP) with kvm-tec’s Scalable and Media4Kconnect extenders for DisplayPort 1.2.
Additionally, starting in 2024, the company plans to present its latest IP compression KVM systems utilizing the Fraunhofer IIS JPEG XS ISO/IEC codec for video over IP workflows. The company will also offer its KVM-integrated Quad View solutions for 4K single-head or dual-head computer systems.
‘With nearly 40 years in business we still maintain our goal of providing superior products and services to fit our customer’s need’, said Dan Holland, marketing manager at IHSE USA.
‘In addition, working with companies like Fraunhofer IIS on some of the best JPEG XS compression technology available, we offer the most compelling integration of hardware and software capable of transferring high-resolution and high-quality video data over standard Ethernet or other wired connections – even with limited computing resources’.
Stronger Together: IHSE and Fraunhofer IIS
Continuing the long-time relationship with Fraunhofer IIS’ design team, IHSE has again partnered with them to develop a next-generation KVM system based on their high-performance JPEG XS codec.
JPEG XS allows transferring high-resolution and high-quality video data over standard Ethernet or other wired connections with limited computing resources. Fraunhofer goes a step further by providing functionality for encapsulating code streams into file formats and transport streams. These formats are often essential in broadcasting workflows and equipment to fully leverage the low latency and high quality of JPEG XS.
By using Fraunhofer’s JPEG XS SDK and IHSE’s JPEG XS IP core for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), innovative and ultra-low latency broadcast, in-house, and gaming video routes can be realized with predictive and precise rate control.
With this partnership, the library will be integrated into IHSE’s Draco Con App, which will introduce a new dimension of flexibility to KVM systems. The software-based KVM solution enables users to access an IHSE KVM network via IP protocol from a standard, network-connected PC.
