Guntermann & Drunck GmbH Guntermann & Drunck: Precision KVM for Secure, Remote Control For over three decades, Guntermann & Drunck (G&D) has set the benchmark in high-performance KVM solutions tailored for mission-critical environments—from broadcast and air traffic control to industrial automation and defense infrastructure. Their expertise lies in signal extension and switching, enabling operators to manage complex systems with clarity, speed, and zero compromise. G&D’s latest KVM-over-IP innovations bring a new level of security and flexibility to remote access. With AES-256 encryption, two-factor authentication, and redundant failover architecture, their systems ensure that control remains uninterrupted and protected—even across distributed networks. These advancements align seamlessly with our commitment to delivering resilient, scalable infrastructure solutions. By integrating G&D’s trusted technology into our offerings, we empower users with secure, centralized control—whether managing legacy systems or transitioning to modern digital workflows. It’s not just about connectivity; it’s about confidence.

G&D + VUEWALL

The newly expanded G&D Experience Center in Houston now serves as a unified showcase for both Guntermann & Drunck and VueWall technologies, following their strategic merger. This facility offers hands-on access to advanced KVM systems and dynamic video wall solutions—allowing customers to explore integrated control environments in real time. With both product lines under one roof, users can experience seamless interoperability and visualize how these technologies elevate operational efficiency across industries. The G&D Experience Center in Houston is uniquely positioned to help clients leverage this combined portfolio, offering tailored solutions that bridge legacy infrastructure with modern control systems—ensuring secure, scalable, and future-ready deployments. While visiting this facility in December of 2024, I earned my certififcations at that time.

THINKLOGICAL - Velocity HD-KVM Extenders PURE DVI When mission-critical programs demand an unaltered signal path, Thinklogical’s Velocity HD-KVM Extenders—with integrated switching capability—deliver uncompromised performance. Purpose-built for high- resolution visual workflows, these systems support both video and peripheral extension over optical fiber, enabling secure, lossless operation from a few meters to up to 40 kilometers away. The Velocity KVM Extension System-5 accommodates DVI or RGB formats and is engineered to support: • PS2 input devices • Full duplex stereo audio • Serial (RS-232) communication • USB 1.0 (HID) and USB 1.1 peripherals • Advanced Features to Consider: • USB 2.0 support (up to 480 Mbps) • IEEE 1394 (9-pin FireWire) device compatibility • USB HID-only support (keyboards, mice, tablets) • RS422 serial port for broadcast equipment control • Automatic fail-over for uninterrupted operation • Fiber cabling for secure, high-speed transmission While Thinklogical has historically been positioned as a premium solution, its unmatched signal purity and switching flexibility make it the definitive choice for environments where fidelity cannot be compromised. For a true cost- performance comparison, OOBAXS.COM provides an apples-to-apples evaluation that reveals the value behind the investment. Ideal Applications Include: • Broadcast and post-production facilities • Command and control centers • University AV infrastructure • Large-scale digital signage networks • Commercial KVM deployments requiring precision and reliability • Government and military installations requiring secure, long-distance signal extension Naval platforms such as battleships and aircraft carriers where fiber's reduced weight and extended reach outperform copper-based alternatives With its inherently fiber-only architecture, Thinklogical’s Velocity HD-KVM Extenders offer a compelling solution for defense and government sectors. The ability to transmit high-fidelity signals over long distances with minimal weight and maximum security makes it uniquely suited for mobile command centers, airborne platforms, and maritime environments—where traditional copper cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive. In these scenarios, Thinklogical not only meets the technical demands but also delivers a cost- relative advantage where other systems fall short.

The original Summit™ X450a-48t seen in these pictures was my first demonstration unit and during it’s service supported sites including an HMX Classic trial period at Pandora Films at the Cameron Estate. Industrial-strength bandwidth was always a requirement for making the Avocent HMX Classic perform as it should! This unit, which is still usable today, helped close many deals in the broadcast, film, and entertainment sector for HD KVM-Over-IP.
