Colorlight DS20 / DS40 KVM over IP Distributed Controller Description

The Colorlight DS20 and DS40 KVM over IP Distributed Controllers are powerful all-in-one solutions that integrate video wall processing, KVM workstation collaboration, and video matrix switching in a single network-based system. Designed for command centers, control rooms, data centers, and smart campuses, both controllers handle ultra-HD signals with minimal latency, providing flexible, scalable, and reliable control over multiple video sources and displays.

Product Features:
• Supports both 4K and Full HD: Up to 4096×2160@30 Hz or 1920×1080@60 Hz (DS20) / up to 4096×2160@60 Hz (DS40) input/output resolution and frame rates from 24Hz to 60Hz.
• Multiple signal inputs & outputs: HDMI inputs (HDMI 2.0 + HDMI 3.0), USB 2.0, 1G LAN (RJ45) + 1G fiber, 3.5mm audio in/out/loop, HDMI loop‑out, enabling flexible connectivity for diverse source devices and audio/video configurations.
• Advanced video processing: 8‑bit / 10‑bit video processing, video signal cropping, switching, and broadcast‑grade scaling — ideal for video wall or multi‑screen displays.
• Multi‑window & multi‑stream support: Simultaneous decoding and display of multiple video streams; DS20 supports up to 8 windows per screen, DS40 supports up to 16 windows per screen; each window’s size and position are adjustable independently.
• Low latency & high performance: KVM workstation–to–host latency as low as ~30 ms (DS20 ~30‑40ms, DS40 ~30 ms), ensuring real‑time responsiveness for control rooms or live operations.
• Rich audio handling: Audio via HDMI and 3.5mm analog input/output/loop‑out, 2‑channel stereo up to 192kHz/24‑bit sampling — suitable for synchronized AV environments.
• Flexible working modes: Encoder mode, Decoder (KVM) mode, Video wall mode, Video matrix mode — adapts to different AV/IT deployment needs.
• Robust device control & network integration: Built‑in support for network control (TCP/IP via LAN), serial control (RS‑232 / RS‑485), infrared (IR) devices, and relay systems — making DS20 / DS40 ready for integration into modern IoT / command‑center infrastructure.
• Decentralized, scalable architecture: The system does not rely on a central server; each node operates independently — ensuring stability, easy maintenance, and scalability by simply adding nodes.
• High reliability and synchronization: Nanosecond‑level synchronization and phase‑locking technology ensure smooth, tear‑free, flicker‑free, and black‑screen‑free video wall output.
