Introduction
The Logical Solution
Thinklogical’s VX40, VX80, VX160, VX320 and VX320Video & Audio Routers®are high performance,
modular non-blocking matrix switches for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals
over multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable.
These highly reliable and resilient routers provide bidirectional matrix routing and are expandable from 5x5 to
320x320 Duplex ports, allowing for flexible deployment configurations. The VX40, VX80, VX160, VX320, and
VX320Video/Audio Routers are available with LC-type fiber connectors.
Thinklogical’s VX Routers include:
Redundant, Current Sharing Power Supply Modules
Redundant Controller Cards
Single Fan Tray (includes three fans)
Optional Modules (Spares):
VX40 Router Data Upstream Card, 5 Ports, SFP+
VX40 Router Data Downstream Card, 5 Ports, SFP+

Theory of Operation
MRTS Technology
Thinklogical VX Routers®are used together as a system with our Thinklogical Velocity Extenders®utilizing
breakthrough, patent-pending technology for transmission and reception of DVI, keyboard, mouse, and high-
speed data peripherals. This technology, known as Multi Rate Transmission System (MRTS), provides end-to-
end data transmission with unparalleled performance.
This new, unique optic platform enables multiple data streams to be transmitted long distances 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.
Powered by
MRTS Technology
All new products are designated with our
“Powered by MRTS Technology”logo.
MRTS is a highly reliable technology and delivers powerful benefits to our customers when combined with our
new SFP+ optics. 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, etc.,
including 480Mbps USB 2.0) with no latency. Moreover, these signals can be transmitted distances from just a
few meters over multi-mode fibers or up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fibers.
MRTS allows the incorporation of traditional AV implementations and video routing into the same switch fabric,
providing greater value, flexibility, performance and security. Additional unique capabilities include the ability
to support 6.25Gbps bandwidth per stream, between 50% and 100% higher than our traditional systems
(typically 1.485Gbps to 3.2Gbps). This is significant because a single DVI stream requires a 5.4Gbps data rate
to accommodate the 165MHz of video data. Traditional technology’s lower bandwidth capability is generally
manifested in either dropped frames or lower resolution associated with compressing schemes. Not so with
MRTS Technology.
