Just ahead of InfoComm 2017, Key Digital announces its KD-IP922 system UHD / 4K encoder and decoder, which it says is designed for AV over IP video wall and digital signage functionality, as well as KVM.
It offers a simple expansion beyond 48 port network switch, according to a press release.
Key Digital says its KD-IP922 supports up to eight vertical and eight horizontal displays for a maximum of a 64-panel video wall. The video wall configuration can be adjusted via the Key Digital App, universal management software, or can be programmed in the professional control system Compass Control Pro.

In its press release, the manufacturer contends that a common obstacle with HD over IP from all manufacturers is lip sync issues caused by network lag. KD-IP922 encoders feature an analog audio de-embed port with an adjustable audio delay up to 150 ms. The analog audio breakout is on a balanced / unbalanced phoenix terminal, and also features volume, muting, and three-band EQ DSP functions.
