Key Digital® KD-EX18G is a UHDoTP HDMI extender Tx + Rx set with 4K/UHD resolution and bandwidth support up to 18Gbps and HDCP2.2 compliancy. KD-EX18G extends video resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60hz with 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling over a single CAT5e/6 cable up to 115ft (35m). 1080p signals are extended up to 164ft (50m). In addition to HDMI video and audio signals, KD-EX18G carries IR for controlling remotely located equipment. KD-EX18G features 4K to 1080p down convert, EDID handshake control, and hot plug detection integration tools, as well as an HDMI pass-thru port for connecting to AV Surround Receivers or local monitors.
Features:
