Adder INFINITY 4K 60Hz KVM-Over-IP Dual DisplayPort Matrix Receiver

ADDERLink Infinity ALIF4021R is a dual-head 4K DisplayPort, Audio and USB 2.0 IP Fiber KVM Receiver that is part of the Adder Infinity 4000 4K Digital Extension / Matrix KVM solution. ALIF4021R receiver requires at least one ALIF4021T receiver to operate.

The ALIF4000 delivers pixel-perfect, color accurate picture quality at 4K60 with USB2.0 with fast switching. Fully compatible with the existing ADDERLink INFINITY range, and supported by the trusted ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM), the ALIF4000 can be used as a point-to-point extender or easily integrated into a wider matrix system; enabling KVM users to migrate to 4K without the need to rip and replace.

Adder ALIF4021R Features

• 

  Infinite Flexibility

  With the addition of AdderLink Infinity management system (A.I.M.), you can turn multiple point-to-point extenders into a truly scalable digital KVM matrix system that allows any workstation to link with any computer connected to the network.

  • Point-to-point extension (local / over-IP)
  • AV / KVM Switch multi-point matrix (over-IP)
  • Sharing a single target (over-IP)
  • Multicasting to many receivers (over-IP)
  • Command Center / Video Wall Controller (over-IP)

• 

  Pixel Perfect 4K @ 60Hz video, real time control

  Uncompressed video extension at a maximum of 4K UHD (3840x2160) or 4K DCI / True Cinema 4K (4096x2160) with refresh rates to up to 60fps. Using a spatially-lossless encoding system, with 1:1 pixel mapping, ALIF4021R provides pixel perfect and color accurate video with no artefacts. The video you receive is the same as the video leaving the remote computer.



• 

  Fiber IP Network-based

  Leverage existing standard 10GbE networking infrastructure to extend or matrix your computing resources to your users! AdderLink Infinity 4K units can be used as point-to-point extenders over 10GbE fiber cable, or made into a flexible IP-based matrix using standard 10GbE fiber switches and the AIM Manager. Infinity 4K is the perfect solution for any application including for an office, campus, command center, video wall, editing studio, or as a digital signage solution.

• 

  Unlimited extension distances

  10GbE Fiber Optic fiber technology enables offers much greater extension distances over traditional CatX cables. Extension distance is also not limited to a single fiber cable length - If you need to extend further, simply add a 10GbE network device. This can be repeated many times for longer distances.

  
  
• 

  USB 2.0 with emulation and class control

  Enables connection of USB devices from mice & keyboards to touch screens, graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks and 3D explorers, alongside mass storage devices. True USB Emulation Technology also allows for fast keyboard & mouse or touch switching. For applications where security is of high importance, the system can disable the use of non-HID devices, meaning there is no need to physically block USB ports to prevent the use of mass storage devices.



• 

  Enterprise-grade security

  All Adder Infinity units have built-in security measures compliant with universal enterprise grade security standards inlcuding AES 256 bit encryption and RSA 2048 bit public key authentication.

• 

  Intelligent EDID management

  Intelligent EDID management allows the true characteristics of the monitor to be passed back to the computer. This ensures perfect video display without the additional configuration.

• 

  Redundant network operation

  Adder ALIF4021R units are able to detect whether the network is in operation and can automatically change to its second network 10GbE SFP port if it detects a failure.



• 

  Backwards compatible with existing Adder INFINITY series*

  Adder INFINITY 4000 is backwards compatible with other INFINITY series models. You can access any current INFINITY transmitter unit remotely from a 4000 receiver. Other INFINITY series receiver units cannot access the 4000 transmitters from outside the fiber network.

• 

  Plug and Play

  AdderLink Infinity 4K extender devices are delivered in a zero configuration state so you can plug them in and start working on them straight away. There is no need for drivers or software to be installed.

• 

  Rack mounting option

  Adder Infinity 4K units can be used at a desktop or be rack mounted two side-by-side in 1U with the optional RMK12 mounting kit. Additional kits for different mounting methods are also planned for the future release.

• languageMatrix^*

Point-to-Point Extension

In its simplest form, you can use the ADDERLink INFINITY 4K as a point to point extender. Simply connect a Transmitter to a Receiver using a fiber cable. This will deliver video, Audio, USB and serial in perfect quality across much greater extension distances over traditional CatX cables.

What if I need to extend beyond?

For longer cable runs, simply add another 10GbE Fiber network device such as a switch. This can be repeated many times for longer distances, delivering a video, audio and USB extender capable of extraordinary distances. The great thing is, you can easily branch off to multiple screens at any point, or build new functionality in over time by adding additional units.

KVM / AV Switching

With the ADDERLink INFINITY, your network becomes your KVM switch. By changing channels on the receiver, you are switching video, USB and Audio, while the transmitters not in use continue to emulate the previously connected devices.

By turning your network into a switch, you could potentially create a KVM switch of any size you like, you can add source computers simply by adding transmitters or users simply by adding receivers, and even share USB devices at the same time. By creating mixed channels, you can combine video, audio and USB from different destinations.

Sharing Targets

The ADDERLink INFINITY has been designed to allow multiple users to share a single remote computer. You are given three ways to connect; View only (shows video only), Shared (presents an open connection that others can use at the same time) or Exclusive (once selected, no other user can either view or share, with the exception of system administrators - configurable).

Multicasting

A unique feature of ADDERLink INFINITY is its ability to multicast video and audio across the network to as many receivers as you like. When a channel is being multicast, it does not create any additional traffic, instead, all receivers latch onto the same IP data flowing across the network.

INFINITY as a Command Center / Video Wall Controller

Adder INFINITY Manager (AIM) interface allows you to create custom command centers and video walls, without a limit to configuration size or distance. Mix together DVI, DisplayPort, and VGA Transmitters & Receivers that are available with a variety of mounting options, sizes, with audio support, and with serial RS-232. Control your entire IT & AV infrastructure, including existing KVMs, through a single solution!

Adder 'Free-flow' Mouse Switching

Free-Flow allows users to automatically switch between target computers simply by moving the mouse pointer from screen to screen. This essentially allows you to build an unlimited source Keyboard & Mouse switch. Unlike software-only variants, no software is required on your mission critical computers for Free-Flow to work.

To add 'Free-flow' mouse switching to your control station, simply add another receiver & monitor to the user station for each source you want to switch between.

* Supported via the Adder INFINITY Manager (AIM) interface
