Key Digital Introduces User-Friendly Presentation Switcher

MOUNT VERNON, NY – October 17, 2019 – Key Digital, the award-winning manufacturer of professional A/V and control systems introduces the new KD-PS42, an exciting new 4K/18G presentation switcher with 4 inputs (HDBT, 3x HDMI), 2 mirrored outputs (HDBT, HDMI), auto switching, audio de-embed, IR, RS-232, IP, CEC Manager™. The versatile KD-PS42 integrates with the company’s varied Presentation Solution products to offer a user-friendly experience for professional audio video installations in conference rooms, board rooms, classrooms, lecture halls, auditoriums, and more.

“What Key Digital is delivering with KD-PS42 is a truly integrated system with zero programming required, said Jonathon Ferry, National Training Manager for Key Digital. “By selecting a few check boxes during set-up using our Key Digital Management Software Professional, installers are now able to control connected displays, Key Digital’s class D amplifier for microphone and volume levels, and Key Digital’s professional PTZ camera. All of this is automatically delivered through an incredibly user-friendly interface in the Key Digital App.”

Integrating KD-PS42 with KD-X2x1WDTx or KD-X2x1WVTx enables users to plug in HDMI and Display Port or VGA laptops at walls, in tables, or in floor pockets. Three additional HDMI inputs on KD-PS42 results in five total presentation input options and offers audio de-embedding of the selected video source at the presentation switcher.

Power, volume, and muting buttons on KD-PS42 enable users to easily control the CEC-supported displays or projectors connected to the included KD-X40MRx HDBaseT receiver unit and the HDMI output. Users may do so from the front buttons of the KD-PS42 system.

With Key Digital’s Auto-Sensing KD-PS42 features automatic selection of newly detected sources and switching from newly disconnected sources via Hot Plug Detection voltage when enabled.

Additionally, the KD-PS42 systems installed on a network can be scanned and detected with Key Digital’s free KD-App for switching video source selection, CEC management of the displays/projectors, and control of integrated Key Digital audio amplifier and conferencing camera.  Multiple systems may even be installed and uniquely controlled on the same network with the KD-App thanks to KD-PS42’s ability to assign a discreet name to each switcher.

For huddle spaces and small presentation room, KD-PS42 may be installed without any wall plate plug-ins for a localized solution that is as simplistic as it is user-friendly with the CEC manager still delivering complete control of audio and video without additional IR or RS-232 wiring.

The KD-PS42 is fully controllable by all TCP/IP RS-232 supported control systems via open API including Compass Control Proand third-party control systems.
