MILFORD, Connecticut, January 21 /PRNewswire/ --

- MRTS technology provides end-to-end data transmission with unparalleled
performance

Thinklogical, a leading provider of fiber optic KVM switching and
extension solutions, recently filed for patent protection for its
revolutionary Multi Rate Transmission System (MRTS) technology, which will
further advance its high performance video and KVM product lines. This unique
optic platform enables multiple data streams to be transmitted long distance,
over single or multiple fibers, with complete reconstruction of the data
clock at the destination end point. The result is perfect synchronization
with each transmitted stream. Thinklogical also announced today that this
technology has been deployed in its newest product lines, the VelocityKVM and
the Camera Fiber-Link series.

Previous optic technologies were unable to successfully maintain digital
video and peripheral signals over distance. The new MRTS technology has the
ability to transport every frame of a 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz (or higher) video
stream with no compression, along with all desktop peripherals (keyboard,
mouse, including 480Mbps USB 2.0 or FireWire 800) with no perceptible
latency. Moreover, these signals can be transmitted distances from just a few
meters up to 40 kilometers over single-mode or multi-mode fibers.

"This technology has many applications especially in the broadcast and
post-production arena, where real-time collaboration applications are in
place and eliminating dropped frames and latency is of paramount importance.
In addition, large command and control centers, universities, large scale
digital signage and other commercial fiber optic KVM applications will
benefit greatly by this new technology since it allows for traditional AV
implementations and video routing to be incorporated into the same switch
fabric," stated Peter Henderson, VP of New Business Development. "Ultimately,
MRTS technology provides greater value, flexibility, performance and
security. It is truly unlike any other technology known, especially those
that are network based, such as IP, or any known KVM or video extension
solution, over copper or fiber."

From inception, the MRTS technology was designed to be deployed in
Thinklogical's newest product line the VelocityKVM. This KVM extension
system, comprised of a transmitter and receiver, was developed with SFP+
modules along with single fiber capability, with no galvanic connection
between source and destination. This assures isolation, security and optimal
video and peripheral performance with the elimination of skew related
artifacts which are typically found with multi-thread systems. Additional
unique capabilities include the ability to support 6.25 Gbps bandwidth per
stream, approximately 50 to 100% higher than the nearest competitor
(typically 1.485 Gbps to 3.2 Gbps). This is significant primarily because a
single DVI stream requires a 5.4 Gbps data rate to accommodate the 165 MHz of
video data. The difference is generally manifested in either dropped frames
or lower resolution associated with compressing schemes.

"MRTS is a highly reliable technology and delivers powerful benefits to
our customers when combined with our new SFP+ optics. To date Thinklogical
has two major broadcast networks currently using products powered with MRTS
technology and it has been met with great success," comments Kevin Keefe,
Director of Engineering. "Now that the technological underpinnings are in
place we are taking giant steps towards addressing core challenges associated
with high performance DVI and HD video, and KVM applications. We are pleased
to be the only provider to offer this unprecedented technological solution."
