Key Digital Unveils 4K HDMI Switchers For Commercial & Education Spaces

4K HDMI switchers aren’t just for home theater applications anymore. They have made their way into businesses, corporate spaces, and commercial huddle rooms. Engineered for environments such as conference rooms, lecture halls, home cinema, and collaboration spaces, Key Digital is introducing their 4K HDMI Switchers with 18Gbps bandwidth, offering integrators a choice of connectivity solutions.

Our team was able to get their hands on a few Key Digital 4K HDMI switchers for professional and residential applications. Key Digital has designed the KD-S2x1 and KD-S4x1 4K HDMI switchers with a slim profile. Alternatively, the professional versions, KD-Pro2x1 & KD-Pro4x1 offer audio de-embedding. By the way, you can watch the devices in action by watching the video our guys created on BZBtv.

They are engineered to produce the best in performance, quality and dependability, while offering a cost-effecient HDMI switching solution. The KD-S2x1 & KD-S4x1 4K HDMI switchers present multiple input to one output switching options and maintain a pristine picture and sound quality, without degrading the signal.

KD-Pro2x1 & KD-Pro4x1 4K/18G HDMI Switchers w/ Audio De-embedding

 

Key Digital is also introducing a pro version of of these HDMI switchers in the KD-Pro2x1 & KD-Pro4x1. The pro versions are ideal for commercial, education, and business applications that require HDMI switching. The KD-PRO2x1 can switch two HDMI sources and the KD-PRO4x1 can switch up to four HDMI sources to the one display. The key differentiator of the pro versions are audio de-embedding of analog L/R and digital coaxial audio.

Perhaps the most unique feature the KD-PRO2x1 and KD-PRO4x1 have to offer are the trigger input and auto-sensing when switching. With trigger input an installer can actually wire a button for a client on a conference room table or similar, to just ‘boom’ switch the presenter!
