9. Page 9 How to use it? IP network IP network Power Ethernet LAN DVI My PC Want to connect a PC over the LAN? Put a universal decoder card in the Argus/Hydra Install a TransForm SCN at the PC Hook it up to the network Connect it in between the PC and its monitor on analog or digital DVI Configure it from any PC on the network with a standard Web browser You’re up and running !

10. Page 10 SCN – Feature Highlights Up to 1600x1200 @ 60Hz DVI and RGB input Unicast and Multicast streaming Hardware Decoding on Streaming Video Card – One stream per card USB Keyboard and Mouse control –Web interface –Apollo 1.8 SR1 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse control as an option (SSR required) Software Decoder with recording capabilities –This component is still in alpha phase –Availability: see roadmap presentation. Not an KVM product for server management

11. Page 11 SCN - Benefits Technical Hardware solution: no need to install/maintain drivers The Compression algorithm guarantees picture integrity. –In I frame only lossless compression mode, each output frame is an exact copy of one input frame Applicable for legacy systems Separate networks can be used (secure applications) No performance repercussions on host system (unlike software-based solutions)

12. Page 12 SCN – Benefits cont’d Deployment cost No more need for separate AV distribution and switching equipment Simplified cabling Reduced integration effort Leverage on existing Ethernet/IP knowledge Flexibility Encode once, display anywhere Scalability and flexibility for future extensions Distributed design with possibility for redundancy
