Note and Warning Symbols Throughout this document you will notice certain symbols that bring your attention to important information. These are Notes and Warnings. Examples are shown below. Note: Important Notes appear in blue text preceded by a yellow exclamation point symbol, as shown here.
INTRODUCTION The Logical Solution VelocityKVM Fiber-Optic Extension Systems are designed for high performance visual applications that require video as well as peripheral support. The system allows users, via fiber- optic cable, to station and operate video monitors and peripherals up to 40 kilometers away from the controlling computer, securely and without loss of resolution.
Why Fiber? In heavy-volume, metropolitan area networks, the limit on how much bandwidth or data that can be carried across a copper line can become a bottleneck for enterprise access and ultimately, for revenue. Fiber Optic Cable alleviates this problem by offering substantially greater bandwidth. Multi-Mode Fiber Transmission Distance (up to 350m using 50/125µm fiber) Multi-mode is designed for transmission distances such as those found within a single building or facility...
System Features Each VelocityKVM Fiber system includes the following features: • Supports all single-link DVI video resolutions (VelocityKVM-5 analog RGB resolutions as well). • Supports all Dual-Link DVI resolutions (VelocityKVM-8, -28, -38). • 6.25 Gbps signal transmission via fiber optic cable; No RF interference. •...
VelocityKVM Extender Options VelocityKVM Extenders come with a variety of peripheral device options that include or eliminate several types of USB and FireWire, Network ports and Separate Data Paths. The examples on pgs. 10-12 are shown with the VelocityKVM-24 Tx and Rx with LC-type connectors.

VelocityKVM-24P DVI 2 Display/KVM Professional Audio Extender Option The VelocityKVM-24P Professional Audio option includes six audio modules with each unit. Any two types will fit at once into each transmitter and each receiver unit. The modules include TOSLINK IN, AES IN, S/PDIF IN, TOSLINK OUT, AES OUT and S/PDIF OUT. The VelocityKVM-24A Professional Audio option includes the same features as the -24P but eliminates USB 2.0 for increased security (USB HID only).
No Router Mode Switching Thinklogical Extenders without a Matrix Switch Router The No Router Mode on many Velocity Receivers allows hot-key strokes to switch KMASS data control and video sources when (Keyboard, Mouse, Audio, Serial, Stereo 3D) directly connected to multiple Velocity Transmitters. Do not use No Router Mode when connecter to a router.
Page 15
DDC Differences A Transmitter gets its DDC table from the Receiver. Typically, the Transmitter and Receiver tables match, but in the KM and KMA modes, there will be a mismatch. A Vel-4 Transmitter uses DDC Table 1, a Vel-24 Transmitter uses Tables 1 and 2, etc. A Vel-34 Receiver will return 4 DDC tables to a Transmitter.

Appendix D- Keyboard/Mouse/Audio Control Options Selectable KMASS/Separate KMASS Original: All KMASS data (keyboard, mouse, audio, serial. stereo 3D) sent from the TX unit is on fiber L1 along with the video data. User RX unit receives all KMASS data on fiber L1 along with video data. Standard (Selectable KMASS): The Tx unit is the same as above.
Appendix E- VelocityKVM Extender Series: Separate Data Paths, Separate Audio Paths and Multi-Path Video Options Thinklogical’s line of Separate Data Path, Separate Audio Path and Multi-Path Video ® Options are designed to accommodate systems that require data transmission security and for systems with a lower video transmission rate, or for systems not transmitting video through a Thinklogical KVM Matrix Switch.
Page 62
Separate Data Paths Option: VelocityKVM-24K Extender Transmitter (VEL-W0DM24-LCTX) & Receiver (VEL-W0DM24-LCRX): DVI 2 Display, USB HID, USB 2.0, RS-232 Serial, Stereo Emitter, Audio, Separate Data Paths (Allows KMASS data to be transmitted on one fiber and received on another fiber, separate from video data, which is transmitted on a separate, third fiber).
Page 63
Separate Audio Paths Option: VelocityKVM-24WA Extender Transmitter & Receiver (VEA-W00M24-LCTX) (VEA-W00M24-LCRX): DVI 2 Display, USB HID, USB 2.0, RS-232 Serial, Stereo Emitter, Audio, Separate Audio Paths (Allows audio data to be transmitted on one fiber and received on another fiber, separate from Video, USB, PS2, RS-232 and Stereo data, which are transmitted on two independent fibers).
Page 64
Multi-Path Video Option: VelocityKVM-4WX Extender Transmitter & Receiver (VEL-W00X04-LCTX) (VEL-W00X04-LCRX): DVI 1 Display, USB HID, USB 2.0, RS-232 Serial, Stereo Emitter, Audio, Multi-Path Video (Allows one 6.22 Gbps DVI signal to be transmitted across two fibers at a bandwidth of 3.11 Gbps per fiber). Thinklogical’s VX line of KVM Matrix Switch Routers, unlike other routers on the market, supports each 6.25 Gbps bandwidth video connection from our Velocity line of extender products.
Appendix G: Flex Keys Flex Keys is a Thinklogical Tool featuring a set of default hot keys that installs onto a Windows PC. Flex Keys also allows the administrator to create unique hot keys to enable actions that are not in Thinklogical’s default Hot Key Manager Legend. Create Unique Flex Key Actions 1.

4. Left-click on the pull-down menus under Key1, Key2 and Key3 to select an action key. These are the hot keys that will be pressed on the keyboard. 5. Under LOSOUT1, select the code desired or create a unique code for a specific application. Selecting Double Tap (as in “Scroll lock/Scroll lock”) requires only one key.
Page 68
6. When the desired settings are selected, click on Send Keys to Host to apply the new settings. 7. To restore a Receiver to its default settings: a. Open Flex Keys without reading the device. (No USB cable to the PC as shown in Step 1.) b.

Create Custom Actions By left-clicking on an “unused” Key1 drop-down menu, users can select from a list of key sequences. In this case, Left Ctrl is selected for Key 1. Left-click on the Key2 drop-down menu to select the Key 2 sequence. In this case, F1 is selected for Key 2.
Page 70
Left-click on the LOSOUT1 drop-down menu and select from a list of hex values, so that pressing L-Ctrl and F1 will execute the function associated with that value. Only choose 77 for No Router Mode. User’s Note: A non-hex value can be entered by scrolling to the bottom of the list and clicking on Spec1. By selecting Spec1, the LOSOUT2 value will automatically become Rd Kb (Read Keyboard), meaning it will “read”...
