introduction
KD-X444SP is a 4K/UHD 18Gbps, HDCP2.2 compliant HDMI over CAT5e/6 Transmitter plus Receiver set for reliable extension of digital video signals between source and displays.
Full Buffer Technology for Enhanced Reliability
Key Digital's HDMI extenders, including the KD-X444SP, feature Full Buffer Technology. This technology ensures smooth and efficient HDMI handshakes between devices, preventing compatibility issues.
KD-X444SP offers 16 different EDID handshake options, including auto-EDID. These options guarantee the perfect handshake between your source and display, ensuring optimal video and audio transfer.
Forced Hot Plug Detection
The forced hot plug detection feature helps prevent common HDMI connection issues. It ensures that your HDMI source knows when to output audio and video to the connected display.
This functionality remains reliable even in situations where standard hot-plug detection might fail. This can significantly reduce troubleshooting time and ensure faster sync times.
Support for 4K at 60Hz and HDR
The KD-X444SP HDMI extender over CAT6 supports 4K video at up to 60 frames per second with HDR and up to 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling.
12-bit deep color support enables HDR video at 60, 30, or 24 frames per second.
Of course, 1080p and lower resolutions may also be extended with additional distance support of up to 230 feet (70 meters).
IR and RS-232 Control
For AV professionals, the KD-X444SP HDMI extender 4K is suitable for advanced control applications. Thanks to convenient control connectivity including a 3.5mm IR control port and RS-232 via a Phoenix connector.
Shelf Mount Solution (KD-SMS16)
For clean installations, mount KD-X444SP on the KD-SMS16 (sold separately) Shelf Mount Solution.
The KD-SMS16 is compatible with various Key Digital products for ease in organizing your AV setup.
