Overview

KDS−SW3−EN7 is an auto switcher and advanced encoder for streaming a selected video signal at 4K via Ethernet over copper cable in unicast (one−to−one) or multicast (one−to−many) configurations. It can add digital audio Dante, USB, IR, RS−232, or CEC signals.

• KDS–SW3–EN7 provides exceptional quality, advanced user–friendly operation, and flexible control.
• Instantaneous Switching Time — 1 second switching time between selectable video inputs.
• Video Streaming Transmitter — Streams up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) resolution signals over a 1G network interface. While KDS–DEC7 decodes the stream to 4K@30Hz (4:4:4) resolution.
• Streaming delay 33msec — for video 4K@30Hz 4:4:4 signal.
• Streaming Support — Provides unicast and multicast streaming.
• Flexible Analog Audio Embedding and De–embedding — Select balanced analog audio as input to embed into the streaming and HDMI™ output signal, or as output to extract the HDMI audio signal and output it as balanced analog audio.
• Flexible Digital Audio Embedding and De–embedding Dante — Select digital audio as input to embed into the streaming and HDMI™ output signal, or as output to extract the HDMI audio signal and output it as balanced analog audio.
• Easy To Use KM/KVM Support — Searchable, OSD menu for KM and fully configurable KVM roaming.
• Power consumption without USB–C Power Delivery is 13W — power consumption with USB–C Power Delivery is 77W (requiring the optional power supply).
• Convenient and Comprehensive Control — Control the unit using intuitive embedded web pages, Protocol 3000 API commands via Ethernet, or front panel LCD and navigation buttons.
• PoE Support — Powered with PoE connection from PoE LAN switch.
• Control Gateway — Through P3K or special TCP connection, users can control/communicate with IR, RS–232, or CEC to the connected devices.
• Separate Service LAN Port — can be used for physical separation between AV and command streams to separate LAN for security and reliability purposes.
• Selectable Inputs — 2 HDMI and 1 USB–C input.
• Analog/Digital audio inputs and outputs.
• Plug–and–play with Netgear M4250 AVoIP switches, Kramer Control, and KDS–USB2.
