Digitus DS-55355 HDMI KVM IP Extender Set, 4K/60Hz, 200m

The Digitus HDMI KVM IP Extender Set is a professional solution for transmitting high-resolution HDMI AV signals in 4K/60Hz quality over distances of up to 200 meters using CAT6 or higher network cables. This system consists of a transmitter and receiver pair that supports KVM functionality, allowing users to control a remote computer using a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen connected directly to the receiver unit. It is designed for versatile deployment, supporting point-to-point connections as well as point-to-multipoint configurations with up to 253 receivers.

Advantages

This extender set offers exceptional flexibility through its IP-based architecture, allowing for signal distribution across existing 1G network infrastructures. By utilizing network switches, the system can be cascaded to achieve virtually unlimited transmission distances. The integration of H.265 compression ensures high-quality video delivery with low latency, making it suitable for demanding professional environments. The robust metal housing provides durability, while built-in protections against short circuits, overvoltage, and electrostatic discharge ensure reliable operation in various settings.

Suitable for

• Corporate conference rooms and meeting spaces
• Digital signage and public information displays
• Professional AV installations requiring remote control
• Control rooms and server management

This system may not be suitable for applications requiring zero-latency performance, such as high-speed competitive gaming or real-time professional video editing, due to the inherent processing latency of 120-170 ms at 4K resolution. Additionally, it is not intended for use with network cables lower than the CAT6 standard, as this will prevent the system from achieving its rated range and signal quality.

Key specifications

• Maximum resolution: 4K/60Hz (4096x2160p)
• Maximum range (point-to-point): 200 m
• Maximum range (point-to-multipoint/cascading): 120 m per section
• Supported cables: CAT6 or higher
• Video bandwidth: 18 Gbps
• Compression standard: H.265
• Connectivity: HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2/1.4
• USB support: USB 2.0 for keyboard, mouse, and touchscreens

To set up the system, connect your HDMI signal source to the transmitter unit and link it to the receiver unit using a high-quality CAT6 or higher network cable. Connect your keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen to the USB ports on the receiver. Ensure both units are powered using the provided power adapters. If using a network switch, ensure it is a 1G-capable device to maintain signal integrity. Once connected, the devices will automatically establish a link, allowing for immediate transmission of video and control signals.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network infrastructure supports 1G speeds for optimal performance.
• Verify that your cabling meets the CAT6 standard or higher.
• Consider the number of receiver units required for your specific installation.
• Check if your display or source device supports the required HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 standards.

For the best performance and stability, it is recommended to use dedicated network switches for the extender system rather than sharing a heavily loaded general-purpose office network. Always ensure proper ventilation around the metal housing to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
