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.

Jordan: Agricultural producer prices jump 9.3% in early 2025 — DoS

AMMAN — Jordan's Agricultural Producer Price Index (PPI) saw a significant 9.3 per cent increase in the first four months of 2025 compared with the same period last year, according to a report issued Sunday by the Department of Statistics (DoS). The index, a key measure of inflation at the farm level, rose to 111.5 points, up from 102.0 points in the first third of 2024, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. According to the department's analysis, this overall increase was driven by "sharp" price hikes in crops such as sweet green peppers, cauliflower and hot peppers, which collectively hold a 34.3 per cent weighting in the index. The rise occurred despite price drops in several "heavily" weighted crops, including eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes (65.7 per cent weighting). On a year-on-year basis for the month of April, the price surge was even more. The agricultural PPI for April 2025 stood at 119.9 points, a 24.6 per cent jump from 96.3 points in April 2024. This was primarily fueled by higher prices for green chickpeas, tomatoes and melons. While, the month-on-month data showed a "notable" decrease. The April index marked a 7.4 per cent drop from the 129.6 points recorded in March 2025. This monthly decline was attributed to falling prices for seasonal produce like loquats, watermelon, and zucchini. Meanwhile, prices for lemons, tomatoes and potatoes saw an increase compared with the previous month. © Copyright The Jordan Times. All rights reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. ( JT
