Page 6: Introduction
Introduction Introducing the ICT18, Thinklogical’s newest Integrated Client Transmitter solution for uncompressed, high-resolution video and KVM systems over the fewest cables. The ICT18 houses up to 18 Integrated Client Transmitters in a single 4RU Chassis. This compact, all-in-one chassis eliminates the need for separate client devices in extended virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications, increasing system security, reducing IT complexity, and using dramatically less rack space than traditional configurations. -
Page 7: Product Overview
Product Overview The Chassis The ITC18’s 4RU Chassis houses six assembly types; Up to 18 Processor Cards (accessible from the front of the unit) connected through a Mid-Plane to up to 18 KVM Transmitter Cards (accessible from the rear), a hot-swappable Fan Tray, a Control Module with system alarms, and two redundant, current-sharing Power Supplies. -
