Kramer has released its KDS-7 line, a range of encoders and decoders. The units support 4K video sources, including USB-C, and enable simple and fast deployment. They can be scaled to suit any size network AV installation, all over a 1G network.

The KDS-SW2-EN7 is an auto-switch encoder with one USB-C and HDMI input, one HDMI output and Dante embedding and de-embedding, while the KDS-EN7 encoder and KDS-DEC7 decoder are an advanced transmitter and receiver respectively for streaming 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) video signals via Ethernet over copper cable. The KDS-EN7 encodes and streams over an IP network from an HDMI input, while the KDS-DEC7 decodes streams over an IP network to an HDMI output. Both transmit the USB, IR, RS-232 or CEC signal over an IP network.

All three units come with a searchable OSD menu for KM and are fully configurable for KVM roaming. They can be used for large-scale videowalls and boast an instantaneous switching time of 1s. They have been designed for large-scale deployments and are highly scalable with 999 channels built in for support.

The KDS-7-MNGR Manager is the solution for configuration and management of KDS-7 deployments within the same network. Users can install the unit into the same local network as the extenders (encoders and decoders) to easily define and configure channel routing selections (including video, audio and a variety of control interface types) using the embedded web pages. Additionally, this unit supports controlling and configuring the matrix, videowall and KVM modes of connected KDS-7 devices as well as device grouping and group operations. The settings of all connected encoder/decoder units, including IP configuration, compatibility settings and extender status, are clearly displayed and easily updated.
