At InfoComm 2021, Key Digital (Booth 2824) is rolling out an expansive line of new products, from a range of soft-codec-enabled HDBaseT switchers and extenders to a free KD App that offers powerful and extensive control of Key Digital AV products via TCP/IP directly from iOS devices without programming.
New HDBaseT switchers and extenders are soft-codec-enabled to create a connectivity hub for USB cameras and mics, audio DSP and keyboard/mouse/touchscreen extension. Connected computers interface with extended devices by way of USB host and device ports on receiver units and device ports on select KD switchers. This product family includes the KD-X4X1WUTX 4K/18G @ 100m HDBT Power over HDBaseT (PoH) 3-gang, wall plate switcher with 2xHDMI, Display Port and USB-C inputs, USB and LAN interconnectivity. The auto-switching KD-X3X1WUTX 3-gang wall plate is similarly spec'd as a transmitter, with HDMI, Display Port and VGA inputs, USB 2.0 and audio de-embedding.
Key Digital’s KD-BYOD4K Wireless Presentation Gateway is an affordable, simple-to-operate, all-in-one, Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) collaboration solution for corporate meeting and presentation environments, educational facilities and hospitality.

After a 10-minute or less initial setup, support apps for laptops and Android can be quickly loaded for connection, with direct native connection for devices utilizing Chromecast or Apple's AirPlay. Up to four contributors may cast content simultaneously and screen layouts are automatically adjusting.
The KD-CAMUSB PTZ camera is an ideal solution for huddle spaces, conference and board rooms and lecture halls.

Window transparency and border control are built in.
Not least of all, Key Digital's free KD App offers powerful and extensive control of Key Digital AV products via TCP/IP directly from iOS devices without programming.
