19) Gefen: The new Gefen HD Mate
Scaler
Connectivity solutions provider Gefen announced the
latest addition to its growing line of cost-effective scalers for the home or
business. The Gefen HD Mate Scaler offers much-needed functionality when
combining different standard and high definition video sources and outputting
each to the single connector on any DVI display. Essentially it performs
three separate tasks: it integrates different video formats and converts them
to DVI; it scales video up and down in all HD resolutions; and it enables
access to three sources using one display so you don't have to unplug
sources. Everything is connected all the time. The plug and play unit comes
equipped with one DVI and two component video inputs, supplemented by digital
TOSlink audio and RCA audio inputs. It supplies a single DVI output, with
audio output in digital or analog formats, depending on the audio/video
source selected. Video is delivered in a pure digital format, with HD video
scaling offered in resolutions ranging from 480i to 1080p for the most vivid
imagery possible. The unit works with all DVI sources and displays, including
cross-platform computer systems such as Apple's line of HD DVI displays,
making it a key solution for any integrated digital video system. The HD Mate
Scaler's source switching capability is controlled through the unit's IR
remote, giving you access to any one of the three sources within seconds.

20) RGB Spectrum: Integrated Control
System with KvM
RGB Spectrum announces the new Integrated Control
System with KvM for it's MediaWall® line of wall display processors,
combining in a single application control of the wall processor and the
computers displayed. The MediaWall processor outputs computer and video
signals in windows on a display wall. An on-source cursor provides "drag
and drop" control of the position of windows, their scaling and
priority. Adding control of the source computers creates a giant
"Multi-window Desktop", a control system that seamlessly moves
between wall control and computer control. RGB Spectrum has developed a novel
solution which it styles KvM. Unlike traditional KvM over IP or Cat5, RGB
Spectrum offers a hybrid solution, with video provided by direct-connect (DVI
or RGB) to the display controller, guaranteeing real-time performance. Remote
keyboard and mouse functions are over IP. There is no strain on the network
since bandwidth requirements are minimal. The result is a unified display
space where one or more users can control the wall as well as the source
computers displayed on it with a single mouse. The computers and the video
wall processor are interconnected over an IP network. A custom keyboard/mouse
agent is installed on each of the source computers. At the heart of the
solution is RGB Spectrum's Web Control Panel (WCP), the intuitive set-up and
control application used to operate the MediaWall display processor and is
accessible via a web browser. The system offers single-mouse control with two
modes of cursor operation - system mode for video wall operation and source
computer mode for control of the remote PCs. The user switches between modes
simply by clicking on the mouse. Once the WCP is launched and connections to
the remote source computers are established, the on-screen cursor easily
shifts between modes.

processing-intensive applications such as high definition (HD) video and
telepresence. The RMX 2000 real-time media conferencing platform supports the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323 standards for delivering
on-demand real-time conferencing and collaboration services over IP networks.
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-architected RMX 2000 conferencing platform
can be deployed as a traditional conferencing resource or within a
distributed IMS network environment. Its modular design enables the
integration of video and unified conferencing into IP telephony and
presence-based collaboration environments. The Polycom RMX 2000 real-time
media conferencing platform is built on a Linux operating system and offers a
standard XML API for deploying value-added or third party conferencing
applications. Security functions in the RMX 2000 conferencing platform
include user authentication via an external LDAP or Active Directory
database, AES encryption on all ports and multiple administrative permission
levels. The Polycom RMX 2000 real-time media conferencing platform delivers
unparalleled user experiences by fully utilizing the capabilities of every
endpoint, thereby leveraging the installed base of existing endpoints as well
as new advanced video conferencing systems.
