KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X Now Integrate Easily with Sound Bars

MOUNT VERNON, NY – April 29, 2019 – The award winning manufacturer of professional A/V and control systems introduces KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X 4K/18G HDMI two or four respective sources to one HDMI output/display switchers with analog and digital audio de-embedding, auto switching, and app-ready controllability.

Designed for professional audio video installations in conference rooms, huddle spaces, classrooms, theater and gaming spaces, KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X enables multiple video sources to connect to a single video display while analog (3.5mm & balanced/unbalanced) and digital (optical & PCM) audio de-embed ports may feed audio of the selected source into and amplifier, DSP, or sound bar. The latest product release features TOSlink optical audio output, which has become of recent importance thanks to simplified sound bars with only TOSlink audio input connector. Alternately, integrating KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X with Key Digital’s KD-Amp220 model enables an app-ready all-in-one user-friendly solution for control of video switching with sound and speech enforcement. 

KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X also feature front USB for ease of setup using Key Digital Management Software Pro. With KDMS Pro, Integrators may apply desired network settings and friendly names for the system, inputs, and outputs. Using KDMS Pro offers a better experience for integrators as well as end-users who can scan their network using Key Digital’s free KD-App and populate a pre-built GUI that includes the user-friendly names for controlling their system.

With Key Digital’s Auto-Sensing the KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X feature automatic selection of newly detected sources and switching from newly disconnected sources via Hot Plug Detection voltage when enabled.

KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X HDMI switchers support all SD, HD, VESA (VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, UXGA) and Ultra HD/4K video standards up to 4096x2160 or 3840x2160 24/25/30/60hz at 4:4:4 (signals up to 18Gbps bandwidth) with HDR header information included in a variety of 4K EDID handshakes. In addition to IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP control, KD-Pro2x1X and KD-Pro4x1X can also be controlled via trigger voltage and features status-monitoring LEDs.

The KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X are fully licensed and compatible with HDCP 2.2. These switchers are HDR10 (High Dynamic Range) and Dolby Vision capable allowing for pristine image quality through a greater range of luminance levels. Deep Color is supported with ranges Up to UHD/4K 30Hz 4:4:4/12 bits or 60Hz 4:4:4/8 bit. Supported lossless compressed digital audio formats include Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio™, and Dolby Atmos.

The KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X use advanced EDID controls, and come with a built-in internal library with 15 EDID handshakes including 4K with HDR in addition to native EDID data copied from the output/display. Key Digital’s proprietary Full Buffer System manages TMDS re-clocking / signal re-generation, HDCP authentication to source and display, and EDID control handshake. 

KD-PRO2x1X and KD-PRO4x1X join a suite of Key Digital IP enabled products that are now app ready.
