China State Grid:

Keeping energy owing

Problem

Modern control rooms need to separate

working space from machinery space.

This often involves locating computing

power into machine rooms or even

separate buildings. There are a number of

reasons why this is the case:

• Minimise noise and heat generation

in working space

• Enable maintenance and pre-emptive

repairs to take place while a control

room remains operational

• Extend hardware life cycle and

reliability by maintaining ideal

environmental conditions

• Allow resources to be re-routed for

emergency and disaster recovery

While creating a distraction free working

environment, the control room must

maintain absolute reliability alongside

transparent connectivity. The user must

always believe they interact directly with

the computer systems in use while only

being able to access systems they are

authorised to.

Solution

China State Grid chose the AdderLink

INFINITY as a best of breed command

and control solution, delivering lossless

realtimeinteractionwiththeexibility

ofaninstantlycongurableIPmatrix.

Driving 1920x1200 digital video and

audio alongside USB from the machine

room through to the control room, the

AdderLink INFINITY is both rapid to

deploy and solid in performance. Key

to the success of this installation was

the AdderLink INFINITY management

system (A.I.M.).

A.I.M. allows an entire installation to be

repurposed at the touch of a button,

while users have the freedom to connect

disparate systems using an on screen

display, as simple in operation as changing

channel on a television. This simplicity is

key to user adoption and understanding,

allowing operators to get on with their

real task rather than being distracted by

the technology in front of them.

This installation used another key

feature of the AdderLink INFINITY

– Multicast. Multicasting allows the

operator to view a system on the screen

directly in front of them, while a second

receiver unit delivers the same content

to the video wall processor. Today, this

can even be done using VNC through

the ALIF2112T transmitter which not

only distributes spatially lossless DVI, but

at the same time becomes a VNC server,

allowing control room content to be

decoded by the video wall itself, or even

sent around the world to other control

rooms or individual users.

Result

The result of deploying AdderLink

INFINITY into China State Grid is a

exible,robustcontrolenvironmentwith

endlesscongurability.Theinstallation

can be scaled at any time in the future

to enable additional operators, or split

down to manage new tasks as required.
