Key Digital Adds IP to RS232 Control to KD-Pro4x1X-2 HDMI Switcher
Key Digital added IP to RS232 control to its KD-Pro4x1X-2 HDMI switcher via a firmware upgrade. Introduced last month, Key Digital says the firmware update enables the second-generation 4×1 UHD/4K/18G HDMI switcher to function as part of a programming-free presentation system similar to Key Digital’s unified communication and control products.
By connecting the KD-CamUSB PTZ camera or the KD-Amp220 audio pre-amp/amplifier to the KD-Pro4x1X-2 by way of each device’s RS-232 ports and enabling control of the devices from the free Key Digital Management Software Pro (KDMS Pro) app for Windows or a new web UI, the company claims users can control the camera and amp from the free KD-App for iOS, the web UI, Key Digital’s Compass Control Pro integrated iOS control system or with TCP/IP commands from other networked devices.
