N.Y.-based Key Digital is well-known for its contributions to the HDMI format and its knowledge of digital A/V technologies. Supplementing its line of matrix solutions, Key Digital has announced several new product additions including its KD-Pro6x6CC matrix switcher.
The matrix switcher provides six HDBaseT (Cat-5e/6 RJ45) and six HDMI outputs with automatic Cat-5e/Cat-6 cable equalization to support connections to as many as 12 televisions (six mirrored).
The matrix packages three Key Digital KD-XSWRx receiver extenders to facilitate multiple HDBaseT connected displays, and the company says the matrix and extenders are capable of transmitting 1080p/60Hz, 1080p/24Hz, 1080i and 720p as far as 250 feet.
The combination, in conjunction with Key Digital approved Cat-5e/Cat-6 cabling, can also transmit Ultra HD 4K with HDR (high dynamic range) as far as 150 feet. It can also transmit 4K content with non-approved cabling at lesser distances.
Supporting control integration, Key Digital says the matrix incorporate its Compass Control system to negate the need for a master controller.
