Introduction
The X2H-KVM-ED is a high-performance AV-over-IP solution for advanced
video distribution, system control, and flexible display management. It sup-
ports HDMI 1.4 & HDCP 1.4 and delivers 4K@30Hz & 1080p@60Hz video with
4.95Gbps bandwidth, ensuring ultra-HD quality. With LPCM 2.0CH 48kHz au-
dio, it also features audio routing with 6-pin phoenix Analog input and out-
put. The combined encoder/decoder design allows you to configure it as ei-
ther a transmitter or receiver. It supports both Fiber optic and RJ45 for signal
transmission up to 328ft/100m.
Each decoder handles up to 16 signals, allowing window roaming, splicing,
overlay, and multi-window display—ideal for control rooms, command cen-
ters, and digital signage. The system features KVM seat management for one-
to-one or one-to-many PC control.
It supports H.264/H.265 protocols for seamless IPC and camera integration,
with point-to-point extension, character overlay, scrolling text, and HD vid-
eo/image backgrounds. Over a 1G network, it enables distribution, multicast,
matrix switching, and video wall setups with centralized user rights manage-
ment.
Control is flexible via KVM, mobile app, or control unit (X2UH-CB). Addition-
al features include PoE, HDMI™ loop-out, and audio extraction, making the
X2H-KVM-ED a complete, scalable AV-over-IP solution.
