KVM over IP Systems

Datapath’s Arqa KVM over IP systems are suitable for those who need to monitor, control and share multiple sources. Arqa is capable of supporting up to 2000 endpoints contained within a single 1Gb switched video distribution network. Arqa’s intra-frame compression algorithm results in visually lossless image quality and zero latency.

The Arqa range comes in either copper and optical transmitter and receiver variances.

Push and Pull Support

Create the ideal control room solution by combining Arqa KVM systems with Datapath’s video wall controllers. Seamlessly push and pull sources to workstations and onto video walls.

Key Features

Arqa has an array of features to support KVM in the command and control and other AV applications:

Endpoints – KVM matrixing with up to 2,000 endpoints
One Control technology - Allows control of multiple PC’s across a single workstation with one keyboard and mouse
Multi-head support - Sources with multiple screens can be treated ‘as one’
Push Support - Push current connection onto other displays as a video share
Pull Support - Pull (Get) any source as a video share onto this receiver
Flexible sharing - Remote source viewing or take control
Image Quality - Visually Lossless image quality, irrespective of content
Zero Latency - Significant latency advantage over other methods including h264, RDP, VNC
Works over 1Gb network with simple switch requirements (needs only IGMP support)
Network switched or P2P (point-to-point) extension modes supported
Local extension support - Video loop through port for local extension into IP network
Security - Mass storage mode disable for securing against endpoint intrusion
Connectors - Copper and fiber versions (can be mixed)
