Key Digital Expands Enterprise AV over IP Solutions

The cost-effective and flexible KD-IP822 offers mix and match integration with existing KD-IP922

MOUNT VERNON, NY – June 19, 2019 –The award winning manufacturer of professional A/V and control systems introduces the KD-IP822 Enterprise AV over IP encoder and decoder designed with video wall functionality and inter-system compatibility with Key Digital’s KD-IP922 system. The KD-IP822 utilizes a managed gigabit network switch to enable video distribution, matrix switching, and extension making this cost-effective system perfect for bar and restaurant, residential, and other audio video systems with large or non-symmetrical source and display counts.

“We’re expanding our Video over IP lineup with an exceptional and affordable new addition. The KD-IP822 uses the established powerful foundation of Key Digital’s KD-IP922 system which has been shipping for three years now. The difference is that the KD-IP822 delivers systems at a more cost-effective price point by providing the essential connectivity for the majority of applications and allows integrators to mix and match system builds with the KD-IP922 encoder and decoder if necessary. The KD-IP822 provides HDMI input and output with an HDMI passthrough port on the encoder for additional connectivity at the location of the video source , two Compass Control Pro ports that may also be used for IR or RS-232 passthrough from third-party control systems, and video wall capability with a max of 4 displays in the video wall. If you need to build a video wall with greater than 4 displays, you may simply sub in our KD-IP922DEC. And unlike our competitors, the engineers at Key Digital made sure to have IR control included with the KD-IP822 systems. We’re happy to offer this new premium value without the premium price tag.” said Jonathon Ferry, National Training Manager for Key Digital.

KD-IP822ENC and KD-IP822DEC create video walls with up to four total displays. For systems with greater than four displays the video wall can be completely comprised of KD-IP922DEC, once again enabling integrators to optimize the feature set and price point of the system. The video wall configuration can be adjusted via the Key Digital App, universal management software, or can be programmed in Key Digital’s professional control system Compass Control Pro. With the Key Digital App, Key Digital has created an easy way for installers and users to switch inputs and control Key Digital systems as if you were standing in front of the unit - all from your iOS device. The Key Digital app can be downloaded free from the App Store. Compass Control Pro is Key Digital’s fully integrated control system built from the ground up to use iOS devices to replace traditional control interfaces.

When integrated with a compatible PoE network switch KD-IP822 does not require a power supply. With redundant power connection the system has added reliability for non-PoE integration using the power supply sold separately.
