At Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025, Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), a leading German manufacturer of KVM systems, will showcase solutions designed to boost efficiency and security in control rooms. The company says that, from February 4 to 7, 2025, visitors to booth 5G350 in Barcelona will witness how G&D optimises work environments with advanced KVM and multi-viewing solutions, as well as smart security features.
The new workplace module, DynamicWorkplace-CON, can be integrated with a digital G&D matrix system. It enables the display of all relevant information on one or more high-resolution monitors. This allows for the consolidation of multiple CON modules and their associated monitors. G&D says this integration significantly reduces the physical strain on users while simultaneously improving response times in critical decision-making scenarios.
The multi-viewing feature of the workplace module lets users manage up to eight sources across four monitors at once. Its integration into existing G&D matrix systems has been developed for demanding environments. Users can also adjust the arrangement of individual signal sources in real time.
The window manager of the new workplace module enables the free positioning and management of individual windows, G&D says. Once the DynamicWorkplace-CON is connected to the KVM matrix system, the user has access to applications that can be viewed and controlled via up to 8 windows on the four monitors.
The PersonalWorkplace-Controller combines multi-viewing control and keyboard-mouse interactivity for one or more operators or video walls. Through local integration at the workplace, users gain flexible access to physical sources and streams, according to G&D.
This makes the video processing tool suitable for less connected work environments. Modified arrangements of operational processes also significantly improve workplace ergonomics. The real-time display of multiple computer sources on a large monitor, and thus the practically latency-free operation of multiple computers via a single console, is designed to simplify tasks.
The PersonalWorkplace-Controller also boasts flexible content transmission to various output devices, allowing users to access critical information from anywhere, whether on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
G&D’s portfolio includes eight new variants of the PersonalWorkplace-Controller. These variants provide a range of connectivity options for nine to 27 sources. They also offer display features, with up to four 5K@60Hz outputs and a mirrored HD output.
The new variants support both direct digital video and fibre optic sources via the PersonalWorkplace-CPU-Fibre modules. These modules are designed to enable loop-through functionality via HDMI, DisplayPort, and HD-SDI.
G&D also introduces the SecureCert feature, which is designed to ensure that the KVM-over-IP systems comply with strict certification guidelines for mission-critical environments.
SecureCert ensures that G&D’s KVM-over-IP systems adhere to the requirements of three key certifications: FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria and DoDIN APL. These standards are essential for security-critical environments, whether for data encryption, IT security policies or for use in sensitive networks, for example in government institutions.
Thorsten Lipp, CEO at G&D, said: “Our customers worldwide are increasingly faced with the challenge of meeting strict security and certification requirements. With SecureCert, we provide a solution that not only facilitates adherence to these requirements but also makes a significant contribution to securing their systems.”
G&D is also a sponsor of the Control Room Summit at ISE 2025. On February 6, 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the evolving role of control rooms in today’s world through a presentation in the CC5.1 conference area.
