ADDERLink® INFINITY Manager (AIM)
A control suite which transforms ADDERLink INFINITY (ALIF) extenders into a digital matrix solution. Using standard IP infrastructure, the AIM routes any user station to any computer attached to the network without any compromises to video quality or control. It allows co–operative sharing of computers and multicasting of video to any destination.
Secure Access and Communications
Using TLS (transport layer security) and HTTPS, communications between ALIF units and the AIM, and between AIM and the outside world, are all secure.
Redundant Operation
For 24/7 reliability, a second ‘hot’ AIM can be added to ensure constant uptime. Dual NIC interfaces on every ALIF unit mean systems can be easily designed for maximum resilience.
User Access Rights Management and Audit Trails
Administrators can manage access rights to each device on a user by user basis - either manually through the web browser or automatically using Active Directory. Reports showing the history of devices, user logins and device connections can be viewed and exported to a CSV file or via SYSLOG.
Easy Centralized Management
Accessed via a web browser, the dashboard gives a real-time overview of system connections and users. Tabs enable you to navigate between settings and devices or user sub-menus.
Control Channel and Presets Connections
AIM can be used to make connections between an individual pair of transmitter and receiver devices centrally from within the management system. By using presets, a list of pre-defined connections, multiscreen, video wall or signage setups can be ‘pushed’ with a single click.
Fast Video and USB Switching
The switching time between computers is less than one second to provide a high quality user experience. Network multicasting allows the system to share video simultaneously from one transmitter to an unlimited number of receivers. Suitable for signage, monitoring and sharing of desktops.
USB Sharing
USB sharing allows multiple users to connect to, and control, a single computer at the same time. Each transmitter can report 12 unique USB devices (identified by VID/PID codes) but will merge devices with the same ID to allow many more.
Easy Matrix Setup
Using zero config. networking, AIM automatically obtains the MAC addresses of extender devices as they are attached to the network. The administrator allocates IP addresses, names and locations so that devices are easy to identify, configure and control.
Internationalization
The user desks can select different keyboard configurations to suit their requirements and as a global setting select the language for the OSD from a choice of over 14 languages.
On-Screen Display Per User Station
Users login and choose channel connections from an intuitive OSD similar to that of a digital TV. Users can also use presets to change channels for multiple screens, across multiple receivers.
Choice of Connection Modes
Administrators can choose to give users the ability to connect in four modes: view only, shared, private or exclusive. Each permitted mode is then made available within the OSD.
Multicasting
Network multicasting allows the system to share video simultaneously from one transmitter to an unlimited number of receivers. Suitable for signage, monitoring and sharing of desktops.
Open API for Third Party Systems
Adder publishes a simple API structure to allow easy integration with other third party control systems supplied by companies like AMX, Crestron, HRS or MediaLon at a HTTP level.
LDAP Integration
To help ease setup, the system has an LDAP interface so users and passwords from other systems can easily be imported.
Favourites and Hotkey Switching
Each user can select their favourite channels within the OSD and allocate a hotkey for fast switching between channels.
Remote OSD
The remote OSD allows the user to ‘push’ video and control to another station, to a video wall or projector.
