The KD-XPS22U 4K 18G Smart Extender Kit bundles a complimentary collection of select AV-over-IP solutions Key Digital. For installations where a display or projector is distanced from HDMI sources, the KD-XPS22U delivers uncompromised signal extension along with full-featured system control by bundling together the KD-PS22UTx Switcher / Transmitter—with integral HDBaseT signal transmission capabilities—and the KD-X100MRx Receiver. The KD-XPS22U is suited for applications in conference, training and lecture rooms, huddle spaces, and even in-home theaters.
“The KD-XPS22U offers far more than a simple signal extension,” said Key Digital vice president of sales DeWayne Rains. “It conveniently packages two products frequently paired by our customers to provide two HDMI input switching, mirrored dual-format outputs, UHD 4K with HDR video quality, camera/keyboard/mouse connectivity via USB 2.0, IP control from iOS (via the free KD App) and Windows (via the also free Key Digital Management Software Pro), and IR and RS-232 control extension. For a wide range of applications, the KD-XPS22U is a complete system solution.”
