Exactly 35 years ago today, Guntermann & Drunck was founded by its namesakes Udo Guntermann and Martin Drunck. Admittedly, the current global situation doesn’t provide much cause for big celebrations. Nevertheless, we would like to take a brief journey back in time to see how and which devices helped turning G&D from a small “nerd …
In the past, we used Java for the web-based configuration of KVM systems. But since Java is now more and more perceived as a security risk and therefore no longer supported by many browsers, we have developed the Config Panel 21, CP21 for short. The Config Panel 21 is a web application based on HTML5. …
G&D’s classic KVM systems use a proprietary G&D protocol to transmit signals. With dedicated cabling, you can bridge even distances up to 10,000 meters when using optical fibers. Of course, there are applications where you need to cover even greater distances, such as when several remote locations want to use the same KVM system. This …
…And we gladly will. For many years we have been offering our customers various options to transmit video signals – uncompressed or compressed, via dedicated connections or via KVM-over-IP™. Since we develop the solutions in-house, we can integrate specific requirements of various industries directly into our devices. Using our extender systems as an example, we …
The reliability of KVM products and KVM installations is highly important. For this reason, we extensively test our products, and they only leave our company once they meet all our requirements. But what if faults do occur later on during operation? What can be done, for example, if a transmission link, a terminal device, a …
KVM systems are often the backbone of the control room infrastructures. They are indispensable helpers for flexible access to and operation of computer systems. On top of that, they also optimize processes and working conditions. Beyond this, system security is also an essential aspect – especially when it comes to critical control tasks. A lack …
For years, we’ve been equipping customers in critical environments with our KVM products. Depending on the application, the installations range from simple KVM switches to complex, fully redundant matrix systems. But even though we’ve taken great care in developing every function of these systems, we at G&D believe that extensive testing is essential. In order …
In the detailed article Air Traffic Control in Home-Office?, FoxATM has already looked at whether, in extreme cases such as the current COVID-19 situation, Air Traffic Control from the home office would be possible. Here, we offer further insight into the possibilities available to the industry, and present some alternatives to working from home. The …
In recent years, both iPod and music streaming have significantly changed the way we listen to our favourite songs at home and on the go. Unfortunately, these new ways of consuming music have also led us to accept some noticeable losses in quality. Especially for stationary applications in the professional sector, these quality losses when …
In recent years, IP has become increasingly important in all areas of life. Especially control room applications benefit greatly from the use of IP. Being able to use existing cabling, switches and routers does not only save costs – it also provides flexibility and simplification through central administration. But does this mean that classic KVM …
