Key Digital is introducing a new product bundle: the KD-XPS22U 4K 18G Smart Extender Kit.

The KD-XPS22U is suited for applications in conference, training and lecture rooms, huddle spaces and even in home theaters.

HDBaseT provides the bandwidth for delivery of uncompressed 10.2Gbps signals, which the KD-XPS22U extends with visually lossless compression by way of its 18G enabling technology to UHD signals up to 4096x2160. Key Digital's soft-codec and KVM enabling system leverages HDBaseT's bidirectionality to create a connectivity hub for professional USB cameras and microphones, audio DSP, keyboard, mouse or touchscreen display. Displays and projectors can be controlled directly by way of IR and RS-232 extension, or via CEC control of power and volume via the KD App or KDMS Pro software. eARC is supported for HDMI and optical audio, with audio de-embedding. Either unit can be powered from its partner Tx/Rx, increasing flexibility of where the units may be located.
