Introducing Thinklogical’s newest family of switching and extension solutions, for
uncompressed, high resolution video and KVM systems over fewer cables.
Features of the TLX Extension & Matrix Switch System
Offering a higher bandwidth solution, the TLX product line provides 10Gbps
bandwidth per port to preserve signal integrity and provide uncompressed, high
resolution video with no artifacts, latency or lost frames.
The TLX Product Family offers these features to enhance ease of integration:
Hybrid switching solutions (fiber and CATx) start at 12 ports and scale up to 640 ports.
Offers a higher bandwidth solution to address new video resolutions and prepare for future
protocols.
The TLX system reduces cabling by half through higher bandwidth.
Extend and switch:
Single display up to 4096x2160 @ 30Hz with full 4:4:4 color depth, over a single fiber or
CATx cable
(or dual displays up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz with full 4:4:4 color depth)
Single display up to 4096x2160 @ 60Hz with full 4:4:4 color depth, over two fibers or
CATx cables
(or dual displays up to 4096x2160 @ 30Hz with full 4:4:4 color depth)
Dual displays up to 4096x2160 @ 60Hz with full 4:4:4 color depth, over four fibers.
Dual connectors on TLX Extenders, offering support for both HDMI and DisplayPort, reduces
the number of extenders and converter cables required and enables users to future-proof
system designs.
Connector installed on every Video and KVM extender module.

Thinklogical includes an innovative connector on its TLX Extenders. The connector can receive
either HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 cables, reducing the number of extenders needed and, eliminating
the need for an external adapter or dongle to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI. It also allows the
customer to upgrade from HDMI to DisplayPort with no change in equipment. When combined with a
Thinklogical TLX Matrix Switch, it’s easy to combine and connect HDMI/DVI and DisplayPort sources
and displays.
Note: DisplayPort 1.2 Video Cables support up to 4K @ 60Hz. HDMI 1.4 Video Cables support
up to 4K @ 30Hz. Install either DisplayPort or HDMI cables at both the Transmitter and
Receiver.
