Working with the Chukyo engineering teams, local IHSE system integrator ITOCHU Cable Systems Inc. supplied and installed a large, 160 port, IHSE Draco tera enterprise KVM switch along with a separate, smaller, 32 port Draco tera compact KVM switch.
Connection between computers and workstations throughout the building is via single-mode fiber and Cat X copper cabling. The two switches provide studio and editing staff with instant access to the main MTX switch, the report station and the connection center. This enables free access and switching of each MTX at every operator workstation. The switches are interconnected by means of Matrix Grid, allowing the whole installation to operate asa single system. System administration and supervision is provided by the Java-based Draco tera Tool operating over several consoles for flexibility and convenience.
