Adder 4K IP KVM with more options

Adder Technology announced the availibility of its new ADDERLink INFINITY 4000 Series (ALIF4000). Support for multigigabit Ethernet, improved video resolutions and advanced diagnostics allow Adder customers to take greater control of when and how they choose to integrate 4K into their IP KVM network.

As adoption of 4K continues to rise, so does the need to maximize available bandwidth without losing pixel-perfect image quality. To meet this demand, the specialist in connectivity solutions and high performance IP KVM has introduced multigigabit Ethernet support to the ALIF4000 range. This functionality empowers customers to balance their video quality and bandwidth usage requirements by delivering 4K over varying network capabilities, from 1Gb/s to 10Gb/s.

Integrated 1GbE ports enable easy delivery of 4K60 video over ubiquitous 1Gb/s copper links using 100m of standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable, while dual multigigabit or 1GbE ports can be teamed together for enhanced resiliency or improved video capability.

Matthew Tape, director of broadcast and video production at the NBA’s Houston Rockets, said, “Since installing the ADDERLink INFINITY 4000 Series, we have completely streamlined our HD and 4K workflows to deliver real-time control to our team of engineers - irrelevant of source resolution. Additionally, as technology advances, we find ourselves with an increasing need for 5K support and higher frame rate video so the latest updates to the series confirm that Adder was the right choice for us.”

The latest release also delivers a high-quality immersive sound experience at the desktop, via DisplayPort digital audio. This new functionality negates the need for separate audio routing systems and enhances the ‘at-the-PC’ user experience. A new on-board diagnostics tool allows customers to troubleshoot the KVM network - improving productivity and maximizing uptime for the customer.

Compatibility with the existing ADDERLink INFINITY range means the ALIF4000 can be phased into an existing network without disruption, downtime, or the costly need to rip and replace. When combined with a solution such as the ADDERLink ipeps+, Adder’s leading remote KVM solution, customers can achieve real-time, secure remote access to their system from anywhere in the world.

All new features are available in the latest firmware release and include:

• 1Gb/s network capability
• Multigigabit Ethernet support (1Gb/s to 10Gb/s)
• Support for 5K video resolution
• High frame rate support up to 240Hz (HD)
• Multi-channel DisplayPort digital audio
• Advanced onboard diagnostics tool
Firmware update v3.0, can now be downloaded here. (6/2020)
