59 www.inbroadcast.com | Vol: 5 - Issue 5 | May 2015 InMedia IHSE Integrates With Fraunhofer IIS's Coding Technology LICI I HSE, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced KVM devices, has announced the integration of Fraunhofer IIS's lightweight coding technology LICI into their nextgeneration KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extenders. LICI enables video transmission over data lines with limited bandwidth without dropping frames or sacrificing quality. This new technology was demonstrated during the NAB Show. IHSE's Draco High Performance KVM Extender IHSE presented the FraunhoferInstitute for Integrated Circuits IIS lightweight coding technology LICI in a first ever KVM implementation. The LICI codec enables the transmission of high-definition and ultra-highdefinition video streams within the available infrastructure and bandwidth capacity without sacrificing either video resolution or dynamic range. Even when images are transmitted from a server to remote user stations using standard connections such as Gigabit Ethernet, optimum throughput is guaranteed without the typical network problems of reduced image quality and performance. Another great feature of the LICI technology is the ability to perform bit-rate adjustment to the available bandwidth at very low latency. The Fraunhofer LICI codec is embedded in IHSE's next generation KVM extender technology supporting DisplayPort signals up to 4K resolution and beyond. "Professional KVM technology for multiple monitor management is always driven by the demands of visually lossless image data transfer over existing infrastructure cabling or limited bandwidth without latency," said Enno Littmann, Managing Director of IHSE GmbH. "We chose Fraunhofer IIS as our development partner for image coding to enable us the ability to offer new products that meet these market requirements." Wolfgang Heppner, Manager of Group Hardware and Devices at Fraunhofer IIS, added: "The integration of our coding technology in the KVM extender of IHSE GmbH is a very important implementation that illustrates perfectly the potential of the LICI codec inside a professional broadcast and post-production environment."http://www.ihse.com/products/digital-kvm-extenders/draco-vario-displayport.html http://www.vitec.com/industries/sports-entertainment/ http://www.vitec.com/industries/sports-entertainment/
