One cable to rule them all: HDMI KVM extender in practice
Imagine that your noisy server or monitoring recorder is located in a safe, isolated room, and you control it from the other end of the building. No delays, no loss of quality, in full 4K.
Sounds like a system worth thousands of EUR? Nothing could be further from the truth. Meet the HDMI KVM Extender - a device that redefines remote hardware management.
What is an HDMI KVM Extender and how does it work?
An HDMI KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extender is a set consisting of a transmitter and a receiver. Its task is to transmit video and control signals from the mouse and keyboard over a distance that no standard HDMI cable can handle.
Instead of thick, expensive, and damage-prone cables, the system uses ordinary, inexpensive twisted-pair network cable (Cat6/6a/7). In practice: one thin network cable transmits video, audio, and USB data over a distance of up to 60 metrów. You save on installation budget and gain neat, invisible cabling.
