Arion Technologies Introduces Revolutionary KVMA Control System

The Kuvera KVMA Control System will revolutionize the way computers, projectors and other audio and video devices are installed for years to come.

Not to be confused with a KVM switch, Kuvera is a KVMA extender (keyboard, video, mouse, and audio) with a twist. Kuvera also extends the microphone and the RS-232 ports.

Traditionally, computers are installed at the end users desk or work station. With Kuvera a computer can be installed up to 1000 feet from the end user with that end user having all the components (KVMA) of the computer at his or her work station. That relates to putting the computer in the basement of the Chrysler Building and the user on the top floor, connecting the two with one category 5, 5e, 6, 6e or 7 cable. The system requires no inline amplifiers or other additional equipment between the transmitter and receiver allowing the structured cable to be run wherever necessary. That makes installation quick, easy and extremely efficient.

To date, no one has addressed the inherent differences between various structured cables such as differing lengths of the red, blue, and green pairs or the differing twist ratios. While some add-on products claim to solve those differences, no single product incorporated the technology to work with all types of structured cable.

Realizing that the industry was moving toward category 6, 6e and 7 Arion Technologies developed a system, which is included in both the SAVI and Kuvera product lines, to address the variations between all types of structured cable. U.S.C.I.T. Universal Structured Cable Integrated Technology is a system that allows the end user to select skew delays on the green, red and/or blue pairs to compensate for the differing pair lengths. In addition, the end user can adjust both high and low band frequency gains to compensate for signal drop off inherent in virtually all cables. U.S.C.I.T. thus allows both SAVI and Kuvera to work on virtually any structured cable, category 5, 5e, 6, 6e and 7. U.S.C.I.T. allows Arion products to transmit video at resolutions of 1024 X 768 to 1000 feet, 1280 X 1024 to 500 feet and 1600 X 1200 to 250. In light of the technological advances in all three systems, patents have been applied for U.S.C.I.T., SAVI and Kuvera.

Kuvera can also be used to send audio and video signals to projectors which require control signals (RS-232). In addition Kuvera is useful for security applications which would allow all the computers to be secured in a locked room eliminating vandalism and unauthorized access to CD Rom and hard drives. Kuvera would be perfect in school computer labs, amusement parks, conference rooms and any environment where the computer should not or cannot be located alongside the end user.
Acceptance of this new system has been tremendous" said Larry Thomas, Arion Sales Manager, we have daily inquiries about how to integrate the Kuvera system into present and forecasted projects."

About Arion Technologies, Inc. Arion was founded in 1988, providing audio and video distribution products and services for financial trading floors. As technology evolved Arion became a leader developing remote video applications. Rather than to sell directly into the marketplace, Arion became a private label manufacturer. Arion products such as VideoNet and VueMax were sold under several names including MultiView-1000 and TV-Link respectively by Magenta Research.

Arion started branding its name and products in 2001. Direct sales began shortly after to an accepting marketplace. As the Arion name and its products became familiar to consultants, integrators and dealers, Arion found the need to fulfill their requirements for more highly sophisticated products. Thus, the advent of U.S.C.I.T. Universal Structured Cable Integrated Technology, SAVI and Kuvera.

Arion products will be on display in booth 4108 at Infocomm 2003.
