IHSE: Unrestricted Content Access using KVM
Terence Teng, Managing Director, APACThe technology delivers the functionality, efficiency, quality and flexibility that the Han Show requires in order to present shows of the highest quality. Other organisations across the APAC region benefit from IHSE’s advanced technology, including Mediacorp and STAR PAC in Singapore, NEP broadcasting in Australia, Hunan TV in China and Japan’s Chukyo TV. Major companies around the world form an impressive roll-call of users: NATO, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Vienna, Heathrow and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz airports, police forces in numerous countries and many of the world’s major broadcast and production organisations, including BBC, BT Sport, Game Creek, NBC, France TV and Deluxe studios – to name just a few.
The systems are also deployed in maritime applications to manage vessels in Hong Kong’s busy Victoria harbour and at sea on seismic research vessels and cruise ships.
Established more than three decades ago, IHSE is a real game-changer in enhancing and streamlining the content creation and delivery workflow; making designers, editors, network operators, and engineers far more efficient in their work. IHSE’s products operate on a simple idea: provide every user with instant access to any desired computer, its content and applications, without having to move away from their desk or have the content and application loaded onto a local computer. What makes these products second to none is ease, convenience, and security of content and data, along with the capability to share expensive computer resources and real estate, such as editing suites and production rooms.
The system is able to switch a wide range of signals including legacy analog as well as digital audio and videos, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI. In addition, dedicated broadcast signals such as HD-SDI also can be switched in parallel or converted to other formats and distributed. IHSE switches provide instant connectivity to source devices and can be controlled by simple user hotkey keyboard commands or a web-based user control system. An API programming interface exerts external control over the third–party devices, enabling control from common on-site control systems, for instance, Lawo, BFE, AMX, Crestron. Extensive administrator control functions help administrators in the management of connections and individual installations.
Designed and manufactured in Germany to ensure the highest reliability and resilience, IHSE’s products also feature hot swapping of components, extensive redundancy options, and multiple connection capability. Attributes demanded in mission-critical installations such as broadcast, air traffic management, and emergency service command centers. In line with the latest video resolutions and formats, the switches and extenders are capable of supporting the standard bandwidth of 4K 60Hz videos and higher resolutions including 8K and above as they come into the market.
The company has recently launched a Remote IP CPU that will enable KVM systems to connect to remote sources and display devices over an IP network. As well as new low latency extenders, which have extremely low, fixed, transmission latency; making them ideal for the new world of virtual reality and interactive installation.

Traditional design processes in the automotive industry based on clay modelling are no longer cost-effective and adversely affect development time. This leading German car manufacturer took a forward-looking approach. The deployment of an IHSE KVM system connects all design workstations and presentation displays in the new design center to all development computers. The system takes the free exchange of information and cooperation between development and other departments to a new level of efficiency and effectiveness.
Two large Draco tera matrix systems form a super-matrix with over 500 endpoints. The matrices and all computers are centrally located in an air-conditioned and access-controlled computer room to provide physical and environmental security. The IHSE system communicates via a coded, highly-secure signal ensuring maximum data integrity.
Operator terminals throughout the design center are connected to the matrix. Developers can jointly access special high-performance computers, for example for graphic modelling in real time, from their own workstations via the IHSE system. This simplifies collaboration, accelerates development cycles and saves cost through the sharing of equipment including expensive software licenses.
The new design center offers a massive presentation area. At the push of a button, design studies can be displayed 1:1 at real-size on a large LED wall and simultaneously on mobile presentation stations. VR glasses connected to the IHSE system allow viewers to experience interior detail to receive a real feeling for the automobile model.
The IHSE KVM system is designed for expansion. In the future management and production staff will also be given immediate access to design plans from their offices and locations. IHSEs SIRA IP gateway even allows secure and high-performance system access from home office. Read more
