ControlCenter-Compact-32F(M)-32C (A2300113)

Extensions

Security features

• MatrixGuard Function – premium software feature for ensuring continuous operation against unforeseen disruptions.
  • requires the premium software feature Matrix-Grid Function
  • Redundancy concept with failover functionality: In the event of unforeseen disruptions, console modules and computer modules within the Matrix-Grid network automatically connect to an alternative matrix switch – except for endpoint devices connected to the unavailable matrix switch
  • restoration of switching states enables rapid resumption of operations

• 2-Factor-Authentication (2FA) – premium software feature to enhance security by using a second possession-based factor during user authentication:
  • The traditional password authentication is combined with a time-limited, single-use code (Time-Based-One-Time-Password – TOTP)
  • You can choose between using the internal authentication server provided in the device or an external directory service
  • Authenticator apps or hardware token can be used
  • This additional layer of protection prevents unauthorized access and ensures the highest level of security, particularly in sensitive IT environments

Operation features

• TradeSwitch Function (TS Function) – premium software feature providing convenient operation and seamless restoration of individual working environments at consoles with multiple console modules, including the most recently connected sources:
  • optimizes usability for consoles tasked with simultaneous monitoring or control of multiple computers via several console modules
  • provides a central keyboard and mouse for operating the entire workplace
  • both input devices can switch to any console module using a hotkey
  • CrossDisplay switching additionally offers an especially user-friendly switching method: simply moving the mouse pointer from one monitor to another automatically transfers keyboard and mouse focus to another module and thus another computer
  • The FreeSeating function automatically restores a user’s personalized working environment, including previously used sources, at any workplace within the group. A single login is sufficient to register all console modules and activate the respective sources, while a single logout will log out the entire group

• Push-Get Function – premium software feature for moving/retrieving connections from own or other devices:
  • optimizes collaboration within control rooms by improving team communication, flexibility, and responsiveness
  • allows users to “push” the connection status of their console module to another console module or “get” it from there

Control options

• IP-Control-API – premium software feature enabling remote control, scenario switching, and retrieval of switching states via an API interface:
  • allows text-based XML control of a KVM matrix system over the network
  • optional encryption of communication:
    • Encryption of login passwords (partial encryption)
    • Complete encryption of the data stream
    • Additional certificate check when establishing a connection
  • provides the capability to create custom control applications, send switching commands, and retrieve selective information on switching states as well as computer statuses
  • flexible and scalable solution for seamless integration into IT infrastructures from various vendors
  • Includes a scripting function for creating, managing, and executing scripts, automating scenarios such as changing the switching state of individual consoles, multiple consoles, or the entire system
  • Enables control of external devices via HTTP requests

System expansion

• Support for all common video signals, thanks to a wide selection of matrix-compatible KVM extenders, which can be integrated as end devices in matrix operation in a “mixed” configuration (Mix & Match). Video transmission is performed using bluedec™ – G&D’s advanced, multi-stage, lossless compression – delivering pixel-perfect, lossless video quality with near-zero latency.

• The RemoteAccess-CPU lets you seamlessly integrate virtual machines into your matrix installation. This way, hybrid systems with real and virtual computer infrastructure can be optimally implemented. 

• Matrix-Grid Function – premium software feature for expanding the matrix system or increasing the number of ports by adding additional central modules:
  • multiple digital matrix switches from the ControlCenter-Compact and ControlCenter-Digital series can be combined into a large matrix network
  • enables bidirectional communication between console and computer modules connected to different matrix switches
  • can be combined with the MatrixGuard Function

• Increase the system’s range up to 10,000 m by using CAT variants/connections by integrating an optical fibres line (DVI-FiberLink)
• Increase the system’s range up to 140 m by using CAT variants/connections by integrating a CAT line (CAT-Repeater)
