San Francisco - New York - Chicago - Miami - Sao Paulo - Hong Kong - London - Vienna up crucial rack space . The transmitter is particularly popular among operators who are looking to update their current solutions , but are hindered by lack of space or the cost of redesigning their infrastructure .
Loki Ong , vice-president of sales , Asia-Pacific , Adder Technology , says : “ We are showcasing the ALIF100T at BroadcastAsia2018 as this forms a part of our main theme Take back your rack with ALIF100T . This is a zero U form factor transmitter with very low power consumption .”
Designed as an IP-based , USB-powered KVM transmitter , the ALIF100T KVM transmitter can either be plugged directly into any computer , or hung from the back of the source . Furthermore , the transmitter can also be retrofitted into existing infrastructure , thus not taking up any unit space if rack-mounted , according to Adder .
“ In Asia , the benefits of IP are well understood , yet migration is often hampered through lack of space ,” Ong adds . “ With news that Japan will broadcast the 2020 Olympics in 8K , Asia is really waking up to the industry ’ s need for change , and we are very excited to see the market ’ s reaction to this radical new product .”
The ALIF100T can also be installed in outside broadcast ( OB ) trucks that have even less space internally than larger data centres . Moreover , the transmitter allows broadcasts to link its OB units together to create a streamlined workspace from just one source .
In addition , the ALIF100T is designed to reduce power consump tion by using only 2W , which ensures less heat is generated and less cooling is required , therefore reducing costs .
This new ADDERLink transmitter adds to the company ’ s existing product range , and is compatible with the ADDERLink Infinity Manager ( A . I . M .) and ADDERLink Infinity receivers .
Ong concludes : “ Retrofitting high-performance KVM into environments designed around legacy , outdated equipment is challenging and expensive , sometimes requiring a complete redesign including recabling . However , with the new transmitter , businesses can easily and cost-effectively take advantage of the ADDERLink Infinity solution without this costly step .”
