New HDMI and KVM Signal Extenders over LAN from SmartAVI Break Distance Barriers
North Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- For HDMI and KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) signal extension, the new line of signal extenders from SmartAVI provides a useful and inexpensive way to break the distance barriers that previously limited end users. The new HLX-500 extends HDMI signals over LAN, and the new KLX-500 extends DVI and VGA KVM signals over LAN. Each device extends signals by 500 feet and is chainable, allowing for thousands of feet of signal extension by using multiple units.
A key feature of both the HLX-500 and the KLX-500 is that they enable users to employ preexisting LAN connections via Cat5e/6, making it easy to extend signals over long distances without requiring new, costly infrastructure. Additionally, users have the option of creating their own cabling solution by using inexpensive Cat5e/6 cables. Both devices are plug-and-play ready, eliminating the need for any software or driver installations.
Both the HLX-500 and KLX-500 deliver high resolution video with no degradation of signal when using a one gigabit switch. Alternately, in situations where such high resolution video isn’t necessary, users can forgo the additional switch for an incredibly cost-effective signal extension solution. Both units transmit stereo audio, and the KLX-500 manages RS-232 commands as well.
“The ability to utilize preexisting LAN infrastructure with smooth and efficient extension over long distances is critical,” said Albert Cohen, CEO of SmartAVI. “The fact that this is such an affordable and easy-to-implement solution further enhances the value of these products.”
