Working from Home – The Black Box Bag of Technology Tricks

More people are working from home than ever before because of the coronavirus pandemic. This has caused plenty of issues for IT departments and other employees. In recent weeks, many of our customers have asked us to help them solve problems ranging from “simple” home office and desktop connectivity issues to complex remote computer access in critical infrastructures, such as hospitals or control rooms.

In this 45-minute webinar, we will open our “bag of technology tricks” and give you an overview of technology that enables you to overcome the challenge of connecting your remote employees with servers and computers. Learn how the right mix of KVM, AV, and infrastructure technology can drastically improve user workflows and access to critical hardware and data.

Topics covered:

  • How desktop KVM switches help you work efficiently
  • Connect to remote assets using KVM matrix switching technology
  • Is there software that allows access to your hardware KVM system?
  • How to take advantage of VNC for IT maintenance and administration

How Video Compression Affects AV & KVM Systems

Because video consumes so much bandwidth, developers have to come up with increasingly efficient compression technologies. These technologies balance bandwidth usage so you can distribute high-resolution video and use a multitude of applications at the same time. But how does video compression specifically affect AV systems and KVM solutions that provide users with access to desktops, wayfinding, and even critical hardware required in control rooms?

Join our webinar to learn about compression technologies and schemes, use cases for different application scenarios, and how the right compression algorithm can make a drastic difference for professional AV and KVM systems.
