The new CW-7 short-range HD wireless video link is an upgrade of IDX’s popular CW- 5HD. It has the same form factor and ease of use, but adds many improvements at a lower price, notably an increase
in transmitter power across all four selectable channels. This power has enabled both a doubling of picture bandwidth and range with reliable line of sight of 100 metres now being achieved. Reliability of the link has also
been greatly improved thanks to the introduction of DFS technology on two of the channels. This technology
scans all the available channels that the CW-7 is allowed to use license exempt and picks the least constrained channel to use in that particular location. Multicast, where one transmitter can broadcast to a number of receivers, is supported on two of the channels, and the increased link stability permits up to four systems to be used in the same locality.
The unit also costs €1000 less than the CW-5HD. 11.C21
4K and SDI boost for KVM tools Black Box By Michael Burns Logging on: Mediaproxy’s LogServer suite of products hits v9 at IBC
Version 9 LogServer increases efficiency
Mediaproxy By Carolyn Giardina
Version 9 of Mediaproxy’s LogServer suite of products, including compliance logging, content monitoring, transport stream analysis and IP multiviewer functionality, is being introduced at IBC. “LogServer allows
broadcasters, satellite and cable providers the ability to not only fulfil regulatory compliance mandates, but also enhance revenue opportunities and increase efficiency in-house,” said MediaProxy CEO, Erik Otto. “With a user-friendly GUI and ability to monitor on mobile devices as well as in-house, LogServer is no longer utilised only by a single technical department but by technical stakeholders, sales and marketing, management and content consumers.” At IBC, Mediaproxy is also
previewing its next generation OTT monitoring option, which gives broadcasters the ability to both monitor and provide those sources. The company believes that with the growth in OTT, service providers need flexibility to support the influx of streaming devices and

The new KVM DisplayPort CATx Extender is being showcased at IBC2014. The KVM extender can transmit either two 1920 x 1200 video streams or one 4K (3840 x 2160) video stream over a single CAT6/7 cable. The system is uncompressed, sending every pixel of every frame without loss. The receiver supports DisplayPort Dual Mode (DP++), meaning monitors that only support HDMI or DVI can be used, assuming they have the correct adapter cable. Black Box said the
DisplayPort 4K extender could enable users to locate critical computing hardware in a secure
and temperature controlled environment away from their workstations, while maintaining the same user desktop experience.
Black Box has also used IBC to update the broadcast video functionality for the DKM HD video and matrix switch system. This copper/fibre hybrid solution provides KVM, video routing, and switching and signal conversion in a single, convergent platform.
By using modular SFP (Small Form-Factor pluggable) technology from Embrionix, the DKM matrix switch can now be used with SDI technology. The SFPs will also support and extend HD- SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI video
connections, as well as state-of- the-art KVM signals. Realtime signal conversion is also supported between SDI, HD- SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI through specialised SFP connections. The DKM FX line features
redundant power supplies and a robust, scalable modular architecture. 8.E20
