Key Digital is now shipping its KD-VW4x4ProK 4K UHD Video Wall Processor and Seamless Matrix Switcher;  dubbed an all-in-one solution featuring four HDMI inputs and four HDMI outputs (plus four mirrored) UHDoTP (Ultra High Definition over Twisted Pair) outputs.

Introduced at InfoComm 2022, the KD-VW4x4ProK is a video wall processor and switcher, in one, that includes a unique feature called Panel Flip that rotates the image 180 degrees on any output, enabling the top row of monitors to be installed upside down, co-joining the often-narrower display frame sides and tops to minimize bezel visibility. Bezel Compensation allows the image to be extended off-screen to create fluid screen transitions between co-joined monitors. Five supported video wall layouts (2×2, 4×1, 3×1, 2 sets of 2×1, and 1×4) make the KD-VW4x4ProK ideal for building budget-friendly video walls for any application. 4K / UHD content up to 3840 x 21640p 4:2:0 at 60fps is supported, with native down-conversion enabling integration with legacy 720p and 1080p displays.
The KD-VW4x4ProK may be used as a 4×4 video matrix allowing viewing of four video sources on up to eight displays by way of the mirrored HDMI and UHDoTP outputs. Audio routing is independent of video source selection with de-embedding of both two-channel analog audio and 5.1 Dolby/DTS surround formats on optical digital connections on each KD-VW4x4ProK output. The mirrored UHDoTP outputs provide AV and bidirectional IR signal extension (up to 35m [115ft] at 4K) and PoC (Power over CAT) from a single CAT6 cable run – IR remote control signals travel along with the AV signals to the KD-EXMLVRx units for display control, or for system source control back from the monitor installation location. System control is also available through RS-232 and supported TCP/IP control systems via open API.

Content standards supported by the KD-VW4x4ProK include the HDCP 2.2 anti-piracy protocol; the HDR10 standard for high-dynamic-range video; and EDID management for display recognition. It also offers deep color support up to UHD/4K 30Hz 4:4:4/12-bit or 60Hz 4:4:4/8-bit. A full buffer system manages HDCP authentication, EDID control handshakes and TMDS re-clocking / signal re-generation for serial data optimization.

The Key Digital KD-VW4x4ProK is $2950 and all the specs are here: https://keydigital.org
