KanexPro, a provider of connectivity solutions to the IT and AV markets, has announced that it will bring the EXT-HDBTKVM100, a 4K HDBaseT KVM Extender, and the EXT-HDRPT70, a professional HDBaseT Repeater with a one by two distribution amplifier and loop out to this year’s InfoComm show, June 8-10 in Las Vegas.
Ideal for digital signage applications where high resolution video, audio, USB KVM function and data with diagnostics can be sent back to the computer from the QSR display or vice versa, the 4K HDBaseT KVM Extender can keep users’ work areas quieter and cooler, minimizing distractions and helping to increase productivity.
According to a KanexPro press release, the KVM extender also allows 4K transmission and extension over cost effective CATx cabling sending uncompressed video, audio, control, power over HDBaseT and USB for controlling a keyboard, mouse and other USB HID devices.
The KanexPro 4K HDBaseT KVM Extender consists of a transmitter and receiver that are used to extend the USB and 4K UHD AV up to 105 meters over HDBaseT.
Furthermore, the company says the USB KVM function supports USB 2.0 with display resolutions to 4K x 2K@30Hz and 60Hz and also supports 1080p HD and WUXGA. It is HDCP 2.2 compliant with CEC pass-through, supports the latest HDMI 2.0 specifications with Dolby Digital, DTS and DTS-HD audio formats.
“Our digital signage customers have been asking for a KVM extender solution which can be integrated hand in hand with 4K video extension and we’re delighted to debut our feature rich offering at InfoComm 2016,” says Kelvin Yan, president of KanexPro, in the press release.
“Additionally, we are very excited to unveil the HDBaseT Repeater up to 70 meters for our customers looking to extend HDMI signals with a single HDMI device or loop out to another HDBaseT repeater to daisy chain more displays. Both the 4K HDBaseT KVM Extender and HDBaseT Repeater can truly help our integrators and their clients improve interactivity, boost productivity and centrally managing their digital signage, AV and computing needs.”
