CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
The InvisaPC system provides users with a seamless desktop experience anywhere on a TCP/IP network, while allowing the actual
hardware to be securely housed in a corporate data center or in the cloud. InvisaPC enables the same high fidelity experience of a
desktop PC even for media-rich applications, for example, watching videos, photo editing with Photoshop or 3D design with AutoCAD.
The remote desktops may be hosted on a physical PC / workstation or may be a virtual desktop hosted on a private server or in the
cloud. The InvisaPC system provides its users with Receivers that communicate with target computer nodes (whether physical PC or
virtual desktop) over a standard TCP/IP network. Physical PCs/Workstations/Servers have an InvisaPC Transmitter unit physically con-
nected to provide communication over the TCP/IP network. The performance of InvisaPC allows them to be deployed on standard cor-
porate networks and even across Wide-Area-Networks (WANs).
Desktop users can access remote keyboard, mouse, video, audio, USB mass storage devices, headsets and other USB devices from
the Receiver unit to the remote PC/workstations or Virtual Desktop via the InvisaPC system.
NOTE: Some USB 2.0 devices have been found to be incompatible. Please report these devices to Black Box.
NOTE: References to the InvisaPC system in this document refer to both Receivers (DTX1000-R, DTX1000SA-R, DTX1002-R) and
Transmitters (DTX1000-T, DTX1000SA-T, DTX1002-T), and Manager (DTX1032-R).

2.1 INVISAPC SYSTEM FEATURES
InvisaPC leverages state-of-the-art technologies in compression, networking, and latency management. Some of the key features
of InvisaPC are:
Excellent Video Quality: The InvisaPC system uses a compound compression algorithm to provide a perceptively lossless video
experience at a low network bandwidth. None of the bandwidth variability and noise effects of analog extension schemes exist.
InvisaPC can support a 1080p HD movie in <40 Mbps.
Seamless integration of Physical and Virtual Desktops: The InvisaPC system connects to physical PCs, servers, and video sources
as well as virtual desktops hosted on servers or in the cloud. This allows seamless connection to physical resources and virtual
resources from the same Receiver unit. IT professionals use this capability to optimize their deployments and migrations to cloud
services.
