Utilizing expertise in over IP KVM solutions, KE8950 are IP-based HDMI KVM extenders that allow access to a computer system from a remote USB console to anywhere over an intranet. The KE8950 KVM over IP Extenders support one HDMI monitor at each end, providing a greatly improved video display image with 4K x 2K video resolution (up to 3840 x 2160). KE8950 also support 1 Gbps SFP fiber module expansions, enabling connections via fiber optic network to extend distances in transmission.
The 4K HDMI KVM over IP Extender consists of a Transmitter unit that connects to the computer and a Receiver unit that provides console access from a separate location. The computer is accessed from the remote console over a standard TCP/IP network via Cat 5e/6 cable that allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-topoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint administration. KE8950 can be connected either directly to each other or via a high-speed network, over a copper-based or fiber-based LAN.
Implementing the KE Matrix Management Software (CCKM) with KE8950, IT administrators receive advanced features functioning as auto detection of all KE Series Extenders on the same subnet for the sake of fast installation or configuration, username/password authentication and authorization, and the ability to define different types of connections that can be switched and shared. Security features also provide extra protection, supporting AES encryption for secured data transmissions, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD or remote user authentication provides an added layer of connection security; moreover, with an OSD, RS-232 support, and Auto MDIX, the KE series is the most cost-effective and convenient way to get a full digital extension from anywhere on the intranet.
More flexible and efficient operations can be achieved in the KVM over IP Matrix System, which integrates KE series Extenders with the CCKM management software, such as multi-display setups, video grouping, video profile scheduling and enhancements that give greater access to quick and easy control tools to configure KE devices over a network. Whether you're configuring, monitoring, administrating, controlling or extending computer access, the KVM over IP Matrix System is made adaptable, to fit an endless variety of working environments and workstation settings, as well as to provide solutions in broadcasting, control center, multimedia, manufacturing and many other industries where matrix extending is required.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this require or work with a switch between xmitter & receiver? Would it work if I had a long-range 802.11n (Wifi) dedicated network connection (not shared, not hosting general network traffic. (Such as Ubiquity M2 Rocket) How would it handle a layer 3 switch or router in the middle?

A: Our network is built on gigabit managed switches feeding wall ports and wifi access points. When these transmitters and receivers are hooked up anywhere on the network, it basically disables wifi by swamping the access points with multicast packets. I have to create VLANs on the switches to separate the video traffic from everything else in order to keep wifi working. However, even without the VLANs, performance on the wired network seems ok while these things are running.

Q: 2. Can you run 2 seperate transmitters on the same network?

A: Any number of transmitters and receivers can be installed on a network.

Q: 3. What is the latency of the conversion?

A: Users have reported a latency between 150-200ms.

Q: 4. Does it conflict with Orbi systems (there was a serious backhaul conflict with their GW3DHDKIT)?

A: No. This system operates on 60 Ghz, the Orbi system operates on WiFi, 2.4 Ghz Designed for Limited Interference Using the 60 GHz frequency band for audio and video helps prevent interference from common wireless devices that transmit on the 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency bands, such as smartphones, laptops, IoT devices, and Wi-Fi devices. The extender provides a dedicated, closed connection for your content, does not require an existing Wi-Fi network, and is engineered for a quick and easy, plug-and-play setup. The transmitter and receiver are pre-paired.

Q: 5. Does it come with the power supply?

A: Yes, the KanexPro 4K HDMI Extender Kit over Cat 6 comes with a power supply that produces DC5V-12V.

Q: 6. I am having issue in my basement projector which is connected with my receiver over 30 feet distance. Everything is 4K compatibles. Its losing signal at regular intervals. Do you think this product will solve my issue ?

A: If you are using unboosted HDMI cable, that would explain the signal drop. This booster should solve the problem. Please note it is a special order. Expected availability: 7-10 business days then we ship to you.

Q: 7. Does it support 1920x1200?

A: Yes. The following unit supports the following format and compressions.

Q: 8. How many meters will it work with cat5e cables, in 1080 and 4k?

A: The KanexPro 4K HDMI Extender Kit supports both CAT5e and CAT6a cables. When using CAT5 or 6 cables for 1080p or 4K signals, the distance from transmitter to receiver would be 40 meters or 131 feet.

Q: 9. It does not say if a power adapter is included. If not do you have a recommended supply?

A: In the overview portion of the listing, when you navigate by scrolling down, you will see the "In The Box," to the right side where in this case it clearly states the 12VDC Power Supply is included in your purchase of the Vanco Evolution 4K HDMI Extender. The device can also be powered with POE with no more than 3.5W of power consumption at any time.

Q: 10. Does this device only pair with the transmitter or can you link this device to decode any ip stream like an h264 from a camera.

A: If you are looking to send Video over a LAN/WAN network we recommend NDI encoders and decoders. The Ocean Matrix OMX-HDMI-2-IP has multiple setup solutions listed here. All of the setups are Transmitter to Receiver. Configuration - https://bit.ly/3BOLgeO
