INTRODUCTION
The Logical Solution
VelocityKVM Fiber-Optic Extension Systems are designed for high performance
visual applications that require video as well as peripheral support. The system allows users, via
fiber-optic cable, to station and operate video monitors and peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from
the controlling computer, securely and without loss of resolution. The VelocityKVM system is designed
to support PS2, full duplex stereo audio, serial (RS-232) and USB 1.0 (HID).
Available options include:
Single-Mode or Multi-Mode Optics
USB HID only (eliminates USB 2.0 for added security)
Separate Data Paths for keyboard/mouse (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
Separate Audio Paths (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
Multi Path (Multiple Video Paths) (See Appendix E, pg. 56)
RS-422 serial port for controlling broadcast equipment
Automatic Fail-Over (See Appendix C, pg. 53)
Professional Audio TOSLINK, AES and S/PDIF plug-in modules (pg. 12)
VelocityKVM products are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the broadcast and post-
production field, as well as command/control centers, universities, large scale digital signage and other
commercial KVM applications.
See Option Configuration Diagrams (pgs. 10-12) and Appendix A, Complete Line of Thinklogical’s
VelocityKVM Extenders (pg. 41).
Theory of Operation
Powered by
MRTS Technology
MRTS Technology 6.25 Gbps. Allows Full Frame Rate Transmission of Uncompressed DVI
Powered by Thinklogical’s cutting edge, patent-pending MRTS (Multi Rate Transmission System)
Technology, this KVM extension system transports every frame of a DVI or RGB video stream seam-
lessly with no compression or dropped frames. In addition, all high speed peripherals function with no
latency.
The VelocityKVM Extension System
The VelocityKVM Extension System has a simple transmitter/receiver design which allows for ease of
installation and straight-forward deployment. Incorporating standard SFP+ transceivers, the transmitter
and the receiver can be connected by a multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable, depending on the
user’s needs. The transmitter unit connects to the CPU with the supplied peripheral cables. In addition,
a local video, keyboard and mouse port is available on the transmitter. The receiver unit provides
connections to the various user interface devices.

The Fiber System
Each system includes a transmitter and a receiver connected by fiber optic cables. The transmitter
connects to the source computer with standard cables and the receiver provides connections to the user
interface devices. Standard VelocityKVM Extenders support PS2, full duplex stereo audio, serial
(RS-232), USB HID and USB 2.0.
Why Fiber?
In heavy-volume, metropolitan area networks, the limit on how much bandwidth or data that can be
carried across a copper line can become a bottleneck for enterprise access and ultimately, for revenue.
Fiber Optic Cable alleviates this problem by offering substantially greater bandwidth.
Multi-Mode Fiber
Transmission Distance (up to 350m using 50/125µm fiber)
Multi-mode is designed for transmission distances such as those found within a single building or facility
and thus, is ideal for multi-channel television broadcast systems. Multi-mode may be used to send video
signals from room to room or floor to floor. The Multi-Mode VelocityKVM Extender allows video and
peripheral transmission distances up to 350 meters using 50/125µm fiber, making it an ideal solution for
in-house applications.
Single-Mode Fiber
Transmission Distance (up to 40 kilometers)
Single-mode is designed for long distance transmissions and thus, is ideal for multi-channel broadcast
systems. Single-mode may be used to send video signals from workstation to workstation, from building
to building, or from studio to transmitter (STL) with a video resolution of 1920 x 1200. Using 9µm fiber
with SM/UPC connectors, the Single-Mode VelocityKVM Extender allows video and peripheral
transmission distances up to 40 kilometers, (25 miles) making it an ideal solution for metropolitan area
networks and most other applications.

Advanced Top Quality Video Transmission
Fiber optic cable has emerged as a logical solution for next-generation signal routing. The VelocityKVM
product family harnesses this capability and ensures long distance, error-free transmission with no frame
or bit dropping and complete immunity to interference. The end result is no degradation of the video
or peripheral signal whatsoever.

All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors.
Desktop or Rack Mount Device
You may choose to place your unit on a shelf or desktop (rubber feet included), or rack mount it using
the supplied mounting brackets (EIA 19” rack mountable). The front panel should be visible and
unobstructed so that the front panel buttons and LCD display are accessible. All connections are made
to the rear of the chassis. The VelocityKVM Extender chassis does not need to be opened or accessed.
The sturdy metal case allows units to be stacked as needed.

in four places.
RACK-MOUNT OR DESK-TOP
OPTIONS: All Thinklogical KVM
extenders can be mounted in a
standard EIA 19" rack or on a shelf or
desk-top.
Each mounting bracket is secured
by four screws and can be safely
removed from the transmitter or
receiver unit for desk-top mounting
after power has been removed from
the unit.
All screws should be reinstalled after
the brackets have been removed.
Mounting Bracket Removal
Cooling
The VelocityKVM Extender System uses two DC fans to move air
horizontally through the chassis. For Transmitters, the fans will not turn
on unless the internal temperature exceeds 40°C. For Receivers, the fans
will always run at low power to keep the unit’s temperature within range
and to reduce ambient noise.
Note: Be sure to leave a minimum of 2” ventilation space on
both sides of the units, especially if the units are being stacked.
2 Fans per Chassis

Front Panel Display and Buttons
The front-panel LCD display should be visible and accessible for system setup. The front panel buttons
are used to configure special video settings and to review existing VelocityKVM Extender configurations.
More detailed information on the Front Panel can be found in the General Front Panel Usage section
(Page 27).

Connecting the VelocityKVM Extender
Types of Connections
All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables that may
be needed are commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.
Fiber Cable
Fiber-optic cables run between the Transmitter unit (near your CPU) and the Receiver unit (near your
desktop devices). The standard multi-mode fiber optic cables must be 50 or 62.5µm, terminated with LC,
ST or SC- type fiber optic connectors. Single-mode fiber optic cables must be 9µm, UPC (Ultra Physical
Contact), terminated with LC, ST or SC- type fiber optic connectors. Be careful not to kink or pinch the
fiber optic cable as it is being installed and keep all bend radii to no less than 3 inches (76.2mm).
It is the standard VelocityKVM convention that fiber L1 carries data (PS2, USB, audio, serial, etc.) and
video signal 1 (DVI or RGB) from the transmitter to the receiver. If a back channel is required, fiber L2
carries data from the receiver to the transmitter. If additional video channels are required, they are
carried from transmitter to receiver via fibers L3, L4 and L5, depending on the extender model. (See
page 53 for additional fiber configurations used with the Fail-Over option.)
Transmitter
The transmitter unit connects to the computer at the DVI In port using a DVI-D male-to-male cable
(CBL000009-002MR for single-link and/or CBL000023-002MR for dual-link) which is supplied with the
system. The connections to the VelocityKVM Extender Transmitters can be viewed in detail in the REAR
PANEL VIEW section of this manual beginning on page 19.
Receiver
The receiver unit connects to a video monitor using a DVI-D male-to-male cable. Peripherals connect
with their own standard cables. The connections to the VelocityKVM Extender Receivers can be viewed
in detail in the REAR PANEL VIEW section of this manual.
Receiver Serial Port
The Tx has a DB9F connector and is wired as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device.
The Rx has a DB9M connector and is wired as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device. The Tx
connects to the computer and the Rx connects to a touch screen, tablet, tape controller, etc., using a
DB9 Male to DB9 Female Cable (CBL000017-006F is supplied in KIT-000005-R and is provided with the
system). An RS422 option for controlling broadcast equipment is also available.
