Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 14, 2008

Adder Technology has announced the launch of the Adderlink X50-MS video extenders.

The Adderlink X50-MS is a link transparent USB and high-performance video extender that delivers video quality at up to 1920x1200 together with 44.1kHz digital stereo audio over a single CATX cable.

It enables USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice and graphics tablets to be extended up to 165ft (50m) from the computer.

The Adderlink X50-MS adds a second video and transparent, high-speed RS232 connection, up to baud rates of 19200.

The extra functionality allows for the extension of computers with dual monitors commonly used in a variety of KVM extension scenarios.

The X50-MS is also suitable for interactive digital signage applications such as point-of-sale and touchscreen kiosks.

To ensure maximum video performance, the Adderlink X50-MS allows ultra-smooth fine picture adjustments to be made.

For maximum flexibility, control of extended computers through a local video and audio output at the transmitter unit is also possible.

The Adderlink X50-MS provides true Display Data Channel (DDC) emulation, ensuring all possible resolutions are supported and the video card is always synchronised with the monitor.

The X50-MS is platform independent and is desk, shelf or rack mountable.

Up to eight X50-MS units can be fitted into a 2U frame for rack mount applications.
