1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview: The Advanced Concentrator Transport 10G
Thinklogical has developed the Advanced Concentrator Transport 10G (ACT-10), a 10G Ethernet
solution to allow extension across service provider networks. This advanced technology allows for
extension well beyond Thinklogical’s current 80km fiber-extension products, so users can interface
with sources spanning wide geographical regions covered by the service provider network. Paired
with Thinklogical’s VelocityKVM and VelocityDVI Extension Systems and powered by Thinklogical’s
patented Multi-Rate Transmission System (
MRTS ) Technology, the ACT-10 allows users to
transmit two MRTS streams (two video sources, a single USB 2.0 interface, keyboard, mouse,
audio, serial and stereo) over a single 10G data stream for transport over a Wide Area Network.

THE SYSTEM
MRTS Technology 6.25 Gbps. allows for Full Frame Rate Transmission of uncompressed DVI
or RGB video. Our Velocity line of video extenders transport every frame of a DVI or RGB video
stream seamlessly with no compression or dropped frames. In addition, all high speed peripherals
function with no latency
.
The ACT- 10 is compatible with Thinklogical’s Velocity extenders for single-link and dual-link DVI. The
system includes a Thinklogical Velocity Transmitter, which connects to the source. The Transmitter
converts the DVI signal from the source into 6G MRTS data for fiber optic transmission. This signal is
transmitted to the ACT-10 Transmitter which converts the MRTS data into 10G Ethernet Media
Access Control (
MAC ) encapsulated packets with Virtual Local Area Network ( VLAN ) tags, enabling
the data to be received by the service provider Local Area Network ( LAN ) network interface.
The service provider is required to supply the required Network Interface Device ( NID ) with a 10GE
LAN interface on the user side and a Wide Area Network ( WAN ) Physical Layer ( PHY ) interface,
SONET OC-192, CET, OTN-ODU2 or PON on the service provider side. The service provider WAN
must also include a Service Level Agreement (
SLA ), indicating no packet re-ordering, a maximum
latency of 50ms and a packet delay variation ( PDV ) no greater than 1us.
After data is transmitted through the service provider network via VLAN switching, data is received by
an ACT-10 Receiver at the opposite side of the system. The data is converted from 10G Ethernet
MAC encapsulation back to MRTS. The ACT-10 then transmits the data to a Velocity Receiver, which
displays the content.
