Guntermann & Drunck and VuWall launch VisionVS
VisionVS combines G&D's Vision product line of dedicated, high-performance KVM and KVM-over-IP solutions with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), in partnership with its sister company VuWall, has announced the launch of VisionVS, a compact dual-encoding appliance designed to transform control room operations by merging video wall visualisation and KVM control into a single, streamlined solution. This innovation promises to simplify system integration, improve deployment efficiency, and enhance round-the-clock operational performance across demanding control environments. Andreas Gerlach, EVP of Innovation at VuWall and G&D, said: 'VisionVS marks a significant advancement in control room technology. By merging the strengths of VuWall's video wall visualization technology and G&D's world-class KVM capabilities, we're delivering a solution that simplifies integration, accelerates deployments, and ensures reliable 24/7 operations. It's a game-changer for both integrators and end-users.' The VisionVS appliance integrates G&D's Vision KVM systems with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. It captures video from KVM sources and simultaneously transmits two separate streams: a high-quality G&D bluedec stream directed to G&D KVM matrix systems, and a proprietary VuWall stream delivered to PAK processors for video wall display, remote access or operator stations. This dual-streaming capability ensures pixel-perfect visuals with near-zero latency, while also enabling content to be efficiently shared across remote sites. The result is a significant reduction in required hardware, cabling, and components, streamlining control room architecture. Technically versatile, VisionVS supports both fiber and copper connectivity and is equipped with a DisplayPort DP1.1 input and loop-through HDMI 1.4 output, each supporting resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 30Hz or 2560×1600 at 60Hz. Both encoded streams offer full encryption and up to 4:4:4 color fidelity, delivering high-quality visual output with minimal bandwidth consumption. By reducing installation components and simplifying real-time signal distribution, VisionVS empowers integrators to compress project timelines and lower long-term support costs. Meanwhile, end-users in mission-critical environments — such as emergency response centers, security operations, transportation hubs, and process control facilities — gain immediate access to vital information through a more intuitive and responsive control room setup. With VisionVS, G&D and VuWall are setting a new standard for integrated control room systems, offering a powerful, unified solution that meets the growing demands for efficiency, flexibility, and reliability in modern operational environments.
