Thinklogical Delivers a 6.25Gbps Router Designed for Broadcast, Post-Production and PRO A/V Applications
Milford, CT – September 23, 2009 – Thinklogical, a leading provider of fiber optic KVM switching and extension solutions, today announced that is now shipping the VX 160 Router. Designed to improve operational efficiency and maximize resources, the VX 160 offers unrivalled scalability, signal integrity, and control flexibility. The highly robust router design supports advanced, real time applications in environments such as broadcast, post-production, government, medical, military, and corporate. In addition, the unmatched 6.25 Gbps signal capability supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, SMPTE digital video formats, as well as optical formats and other high data rate signals.

This VX 160 is a high performance modular router and non-blocking matrix switch for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable. This highly reliable and resilient router is expandable from 20 x 20 up to 160 x 160, which allows for flexible deployment configurations. The inspired modular approach of the VX 160 allows for all critical system components including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-swappable, thus minimizing business impact in the unlikely event a component should fail. The hot-swappable I/O boards also provide excellent in-service expansion capabilities in convenient steps of 20, thus allowing the VX 160 to be reconfigured without interrupting signal processing by powering down the router. In addition, the dual redundant power supplies ensure continuous, uninterrupted power.

The VX 160 delivers unprecedented power and performance, along with comprehensive control features. Key features include, an advanced GUI which provides convenient user interface to the router from remote locations. The GUI allows for easy and intuitive setup and control of the switching between source computer or video entities and user display destinations such as desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control consoles, video walls, biomedical imaging arenas, satellite mapping, etc. In addition, single video sources may be multi-cast (one to more than one) or broadcast (one to all) to desired destinations.

The VX 160 is controlled via a dedicated external Linux CPU (pc) module (which can be provided via Thinklogical or the end-user). This allows for customization as well as ease of control and administration with access provided via a network connection (browser), or a serial port for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Moreover, the VX 160 is equipped with industry-standard LC type fiber connectors and offers unprecedented integration with Thinklogical’s Velocity Series of fiber optic KVM and video transmitters and receivers.
