To comply with individual password policies and improve security, password complexity can be configured system-wide

Configurable login options, such as displaying terms of use or setting the maximum acceptable number of failed login attempts, can enhance system security

Comprehensive rights management and user administration, allowing precise control over which user can access which resources
Option for disablable access protection (OpenAccess mode), in which all connected workstation modules can access all released computer sources immediately and without prior authentication

Auto Backup Function: Automates backups at user-defined intervals and replaces manual intervention – ensuring reliable, timely data protection without the need for continuous monitoring

Configurable exclusive access control for USB, audio, and RS232 ensures that access is granted only to console modules, DynamicWorkplace-CONs, and authorized users

End devices (computer modules, RemoteAccess-CPUs, console modules, and DynamicWorkplace-CONs) do not store security-relevant information such as login credentials, which could be extracted in the event of device loss

Freeze function: If the video signal is lost, the last displayed image is frozen and highlighted with a colored frame and timer

Operation features

Operation via multilingual on-screen display (OSD) or a graphical interface and hotkeys

auto-recognition and display of the system structure

Configuration and central update of all components via the multilingual HTML5 web interface “Config Panel 21” (Java-free)

Support for Wake-on-LAN Function: A standardized method for powering on a shut-down or sleeping computer via a network command, provided the target system supports this functionality

With configurable select keys, computers can be made available to each user individually via quick access

Configurable view filters enable efficient sorting of large lists of computer modules

The configurable multi-user access allows multiple users to access a real or virtual computer simultaneously

With channel grouping, multiple computer modules or multiple console modules can be grouped together into a channel group

USB pinning: In grouped channels, transparent USB transmission remains linked to the currently connected computer – even when switching to another system – and continues seamlessly until the transfer is complete

Security features

MatrixGuard Function – premium software feature for ensuring continuous operation against unforeseen disruptions.
- requires the premium software feature Matrix-Grid Function
- Redundancy concept with failover functionality: In the event of unforeseen disruptions, console modules and computer modules within the Matrix-Grid network automatically connect to an alternative matrix switch - except for endpoint devices connected to the unavailable matrix switch
- restoration of switching states enables rapid resumption of operations

2-Factor-Authentication (2FA) – premium software feature to enhance security by using a second possession-based factor during user authentication:
- The traditional password authentication is combined with a time-limited, single-use code (Time-Based-One-Time-Password - TOTP)
- You can choose between using the internal authentication server provided in the device or an external directory service
- Authenticator apps or hardware token can be used
- This additional layer of protection prevents unauthorized access and ensures the highest level of security, particularly in sensitive IT environments

Operation features

TradeSwitch Function (TS Function) – premium software feature providing convenient operation and seamless restoration of individual working environments at consoles with multiple console modules, including the most recently connected sources:
- optimizes usability for consoles tasked with simultaneous monitoring or control of multiple computers via several console modules
- provides a central keyboard and mouse for operating the entire workplace
- both input devices can switch to any console module using a hotkey
- CrossDisplay switching additionally offers an especially user-friendly switching method: simply moving the mouse pointer from one monitor to another automatically transfers keyboard and mouse focus to another module and thus another computer
- The FreeSeating function automatically restores a user's personalized working environment, including previously used sources, at any workplace within the group. A single login is sufficient to register all console modules and activate the respective sources, while a single logout will log out the entire group

Push-Get Function – premium software feature for moving/retrieving connections from own or other devices:
- optimizes collaboration within control rooms by improving team communication, flexibility, and responsiveness
- allows users to "push" the connection status of their console module to another console module or "get" it from there

Control options

IP-Control-API – premium software feature enabling remote control, scenario switching, and retrieval of switching states via an API interface:
- allows text-based XML control of a KVM matrix system over the network
- optional encryption of communication
- provides the capability to create custom control applications, send switching commands, and retrieve selective information on switching states as well as computer statuses
- flexible and scalable solution for seamless integration into IT infrastructures from various vendors
- Includes a scripting function for creating, managing, and executing scripts, automating scenarios such as changing the switching state of individual consoles, multiple consoles, or the entire system
- Enables control of external devices via HTTP requests

System expansion

Support for all common video signals, thanks to a wide selection of matrix-compatible KVM extenders, which can be integrated as end devices in matrix operation in a “mixed” configuration (Mix & Match). Video transmission is performed using bluedec™ – G&D’s advanced, multi-stage, lossless compression – delivering pixel-perfect, lossless video quality with near-zero latency.

The RemoteAccess-CPU lets you seamlessly integrate virtual machines into your matrix installation. This way, hybrid systems with real and virtual computer infrastructure can be optimally implemented.

Matrix-Grid Function – premium software feature for expanding the matrix system or increasing the number of ports by adding additional central modules:
- multiple digital matrix switches from the ControlCenter-Compact and ControlCenter-Digital series can be combined into a large matrix network
- enables bidirectional communication between console and computer modules connected to different matrix switches
- can be combined with the MatrixGuard Function
