Hughes Network Systems launches HughesON, a suite of managed network and digital media solutions for the enterprise and government markets designed for companies with multiple branch locations in retail, restaurant, hospitality, and financial markets, as well as federal, state and local government agencies.

“Organizations cannot afford to have their networks slow down their operations,” says Mike Cook, Senior VP, No. American Division at Hughes. “Today’s IT managers are dealing with challenges ranging from new cloud and mobile initiatives, to customer WiFi and rich-media signage and training applications. These applications require more bandwidth and higher performance than typical networks can provide, as well as higher reliability and more security options. HughesON meets these needs with network solutions that deliver multi-branch applications at a better price/performance ratio than traditional solutions.”

Adder will launch the DX500, a DisplayPort KVM extender, at NAB, which runs from April 6th to 11th in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The DX500 extends two DisplayPort video streams plus high speed USB (480Mbps), analogue audio and digital audio (SPDIF) more than 100 m (300 feet) of CATx cable. The link is capable of supporting support a single 2560x1600 @60Hz screen or two screens running at 1080p resolutions.

Also at the show will be the enhanced CCS4-USB Command and Control switch which enables a user to work across up to four computers and screens though a single keyboard and mouse significantly reducing the desk clutter. The CCS4-USB delivers switching of USB 2.0 and audio, using an upgraded version of Adder’s USB True Emulation technology.

The most significant feature is their Free-Flow technology which enables the user to switch control of computers by moving the mouse cursor seamlessly from screen to screen.

Adder will also be demonstrating the AdderLink Infinity Matrix [shown in photo]. This Digital KVM matrix switcher solution, says the maker, enables an operator to work on any computer across a LAN using standard 1Gb Ethernet infrastructure at any distance without any loss in capabilities.

At ISE 2013, Vision showed the new Techconnect TC2 HDMIIP-- a transmitter and receiver set which sends HDMI signal over a network. Suited to digital signage applications, this plug-and-play product requires no networking knowledge.

The signal can pass through up to three network switches, and there is no cable length restriction as the HDMI data is broken up into TCP/IP packets - just patch the signal through an existing infrastructure.

Fully HDCP complaint, it supports all resolutions up to 1080P plus full digital audio – but 3D is not supported. JPEG compression is used to squeeze the signal through a 100BT Megabit network with imperceptible impact on image and no latency. In stock early April.

It’s all about content and particularly video content these days. And Marshall Electronics manufactures three encoders that allow businesses to deliver live video to a network of digital signage players located throughout a building, a campus, a hospital, or a resort.

The VS-102-HDSDI is a 2.0 MP high resolution encoder/decoder with HDSDI, This High Definition Video Server that allows real-time transmission of an SD/HD-SDI or NTSC/PAL composite video signal along with bi-directional AAC encoded high definition stereo audio over standard IP networks and the internet.
