InLine 57885K KVM Extender over IP HDMI Full-HD 150m Set

The InLine 57885K KVM Extender over IP HDMI Full-HD 150m Set is a professional solution designed to bridge the distance between a host computer or media player and a remote workstation. By utilizing IP-based network technology, this system allows for the transmission of high-quality Full HD video, USB peripheral data, and infrared control signals over distances of up to 150 meters. It is engineered for reliability and flexibility, supporting both direct point-to-point connections and integration into existing Gigabit network infrastructures.

Advantages

This extender set offers significant flexibility by allowing the central host system to be placed in a secure or remote location while maintaining full control at the user's desk. The system utilizes efficient H.265 compression to ensure stable signal quality over standard network cabling. A key advantage is its scalability, as a single transmitter can support multiple receiver units simultaneously, broadcasting the same image and control data to several locations without complex configuration. The inclusion of infrared signal transmission further enhances usability, enabling the remote control of source devices like media players directly from the workstation.

Suitable for

• Industrial environments requiring remote server management
• Office setups where computers are stored in a central server room
• Digital signage applications requiring synchronized content distribution
• Home theater systems where media players are hidden from view

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed for Full HD resolutions and is not suitable for 4K or higher video standards. Additionally, because it uses USB 1.1, it is optimized for standard keyboards and mice and may not provide sufficient bandwidth for high-speed USB devices like external hard drives or webcams.

Key specifications

• Resolution: Up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz
• Transmission technology: HDMI over IP (H.265)
• Maximum distance: 150 meters via Gigabit Ethernet
• USB support: USB 1.1 for keyboard and mouse
• Audio: LPCM 2.0 support
• IR frequency range: 20 kHz to 60 kHz
• Housing: Durable metal construction

How to use

To set up the system, connect the transmitter unit to your HDMI source and a USB port on your computer using the provided cables. Connect the receiver unit to your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Link the transmitter and receiver using a Gigabit Ethernet cable, either directly or through a compatible network switch. Once powered on, the system will automatically establish the connection. For infrared control, attach the included IR transmitter and receiver cables to the respective ports on the units, ensuring the IR transmitter is positioned near the source device's sensor.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network infrastructure supports Gigabit speeds for optimal performance.
• Verify that your peripherals are compatible with the USB 1.1 standard.
• Check if your application requires a one-to-one connection or a one-to-many setup.
• Confirm that the required cable length does not exceed the 150-meter limit.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance and signal stability, it is recommended to use high-quality Cat6 or Cat6a network cabling. If using a network switch, ensure it is a dedicated Gigabit switch to prevent bandwidth bottlenecks that could affect video fluidity.
