Open Your Eyes to API
Extend control signals with Key Digital’s AV over IPMOUNT VERNON, NY – September 10, 2019 – Key Digital, the
leaders in digital video and control systems introduces their family of Enterprise
AV™ over IP solutions to provide unprecedented extension of control to any
control system by utilizing open API. Key Digital’s gateway interface
controller KD-CX800
and KD-IP822,
KD-IP922,
and KD-IP1022
encoders and decoders create expandable AV over IP systems that can be scaled
to fit any installation. In addition to native built-in multi-port Compass Control Pro
master controllers, the open API line of products is controllable by any third-party
control system supporting TCP/IP, RS-232, or IR control protocols. Controlling
the Enterprise AV™ over IP line of products is as easy as controlling all of
Key Digital’s matrix products for the past ten plus years thanks to Key Digital’s
powerful hardware and software suite where advance programming strings are not
required. The multi-function ports on the mature KD-IP922, the
feature-rich KD-IP1022, and the cost-effective KD-IP822 systems may be used as
third-party control interface, Compass Control® Pro master controllers, control
extension via IP, or callable via KeyCode open API. For video wall processing the KD-IP922 and KD-IP1022 support
up to 16 vertical and 16 horizontal displays for an impressive maximum of 256-panels.
The KD-IP822 creates video walls with up to 4 total displays, but for systems
with greater than 4 displays the video wall can be completely comprised of
KD-IP922DEC, enabling integrators to optimize the feature set and price point
of the system. All encoders and decoders are Key Digital app ready. With KD-App
installers and users have an easy and free method to switch inputs and
control Key Digital systems using iOS devices. The app features network scan
and detect, populates a pre-built GUI including image preview, and includes finger
drag video wall layout control. KD-IP1022 encoders and decoders support independent video,
audio, and USB switching which enables Enterprise AV™ over IP to be used in
place of traditional product categories including digital video matrix, digital
video distribution system, digital video switcher, video wall controller,
digital video extender, networked audio matrix, master controller, and KVM matrix. Separate from Key Digital’s Enterprise AV over IP yet bolstering
open API connectivity, the KD-CX800 supports four modes for flexibility in
professional AV installs. The first mode is control gateway for Enterprise AV™ over IP
systems which enable more third-party control options than other HD over IP
systems, accepts commands from third-party control systems or Compass Control® Pro,
supports generic RS-232, TCP/IP, and IR Key Digital matrix switching command
strings. The second mode is Compass Control Pro Master Controller mode
which supports communication to and from licensed iOS devices, features flexible
port configuration (IR, RS-232, trigger, sensor) set in the Compass Navigator program,
has built-in IR learner and sensor, supports up to two real-time bi-directional
RS-232 ports, and features TCP/IP device control direct from iOS controllers
with no ports used. Mode three is third-party control via KeyCode open API which
features cost-effective control expansion with advanced third-party control
systems, adds reliable hardware interface to network-based control apps, enables
IR, RS-232, and voltage device control, and features robust API allowing for
bi-directional communication. The final mode is control extension via IP which carries any
supported combination of IR, RS-232, and voltage triggers over the network, extends
control signals up to 400ft / 121m. with even greater distances possible with
adapters, and supports systems with or without network switches. About Key Digital®Led by the “Father of DVD”, Mike Tsinberg, Key Digital® is
