Gefen is now shipping the 4K DisplayPort KVM over IP receiver unit (EXT-DPKA-LANS-RX). This completes the launch of the 12 model AV over IP line-up.
The EXT-DPKA-LANS-RX features a maximum output resolution of 4K 30 Hz 4:4:4. HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 are also supported. USB, RS-232 2-way IR, and audio can be routed independently between any Sender and Receiver unit, allowing end-users to control any of the sources and the displays within their network.
This Receiver features a built-in scaler to help optimise the image for a variety of displays and different viewing environments. It also includes a videowall controller that accommodates screen configurations up to 16x16, providing flexibility in sizing and manipulating live and signage content in demanding installations.
Digital and analog audio break-out de-embeds audio from the video and sends it to a separate audio system, enhancing the impact of presentations.
The Receiver’s integrated USB hub with two USB 2.0 and two USB 1.1 ports accommodates touch panels, keyboard and mouse, and a variety of supported devices. The audio outputs on the Receiver units are compatible with both headphones and line level devices such as powered speakers.
The new KM Emulation feature facilitates real-time, simultaneous Keyboard and Mouse control of each source from connected workstations, eliminating the inherent limitations of earlier systems.
When used with the EXT-CU-LAN Matrix Controller, system configuration is automated. Enhanced network security is provided by separating the control and AV networks with the EXT-CU-LAN. The Enhanced Gefen API provides added functionality and facilitates use with third party controllers.
A built-in 2-port Gigabit switch allows daisy-chaining of additional Receivers. In applications where there is a need to replicate content on multiple displays, the ability to cascade Receivers extends the range of these units far beyond the limits of a point-to-point video distribution system.
