5K DisplayPort Dual Display KVM over IP Transmitter

The KX9980 5K DisplayPort Dual Display KVM over IP transmitter is a high-performance IP-based Dual Display transmitter, where the transmitter can transmit a computer’s keyboard, video, mouse, and USB signals to the receiver for providing separate console accesses from both the transmitter’s and receiver’s locations. The setup allows extended access to computer systems via a USB dual DisplayPort console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, Dual DisplayPort monitors) over Intranet, enabling users to place the computers in secure and temperature-controlled environments, which may be isolated from the user workstation.

The KX9980 supports two DisplayPort video displays for delivering video resolutions of up to 5K (5120 x 2880 @ 30 Hz), and offers flawless and lossless video quality with zero latency. The KX9980 is equipped with one RJ-45 port and two SFP+ slots. 10-Gbps SFP+ fiber module expansions are supported for fiber optic network connections and a transmission distance of up to 10 km. For connection flexibility, both the KX9980 transmitter and receiver models can be connected either directly to each other or via a high-speed network over a copper-based or fiber-based LAN. The KX9980 also features dual power supply capability for power redundancy to ensure reliable service. The KX9980 can be set up at the workstation, mounted onto a wall or at the rear of a rack with its space-saving 0U rack-mount design.

As an IP-based matrix extender, the KX9980 can be installed in flexible configurations, including point-topoint, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point, and multipoint-to-multipoint. When combined with the KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM), it can be integrated into a KVM over IP matrix system (multipoint-tomultipoint) for providing more flexible applications in different working environments.

By integrating CCKM with KX9980, IT administrators can benefit from advanced features such as auto detection of all KX9980 devices on the same subnet for fast installation or configuration, username / password authentication and authorization, and the ability to define different types of connections that can be switched and shared. Security features of the KX9980 include 256-bit AES encryption for secured data transmissions, as well as RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory, TACACS+ for third-party authentication services. In conclusion, the KX9980 offers the most convenient solution for providing full digital extension over a network for control room applications, such as air traffic control (ATC), traffic management centers, and broadcast distribution monitoring systems.

Note: The SFP+ module (2A-141G / 2A-142G) is sold separately. Contact your ATEN dealer for product information.
