New Key Digital Wall-Plate Adds VGA Connectivity

KD-X3x1WUTx offers complete audio, video, and control solution

MOUNT VERNON, NY – September 11, 2020 – Key Digital, the leaders in digital video and control systems, introduces the new KD-X3x1WUTx HDBaseT wall-plate transmitter, universal presentation switcher, and soft-codec enabling interface with one HDMI, one display port, and one VGA with analog audio input as well as USB-A, USB-B, and LAN connectivity. Joining Key Digital’s comprehensive family of Presentation Solutions, the KD-X3x1WUTx is ideal for professional video installations in conference rooms, classrooms, lecture halls, auditoriums, and more.

KD-X3x1WUTx is natively received by Key Digital’s KD-UPS52U Presentation Switcher or KD-X100MRx black box HDBaseT Rx. The KD-X3x1WUTx and both Rx options feature audio de-embedding for ease of integration with audio systems. Optimal integration for KD-X3x1WUTx is achieved by terminating the wall-plate with KD-UPS52U universal presentation switcher. This presentation solution accommodates presenter and AV source connectivity of varying connection types at both the wall-plate and the presentation switcher. KD-UPS52U includes KD-X100MRx black box receiver, so that this integrated system utilizes HDBaseT from the wall- plate in and out of the presentation switch to the receive unit at the display up to 100m away.

KD-UPS52U also features USB device and host connectivity for soft video conference enabling systems when adding KD-CAMUSB and third-party USB microphone speaker combos or audio DSP. The USB ports may alternatively be used for keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen display with connected computer. Point-to-point extension is achieved by integrating KD-X3x1WUTx with KD-X100MRx black box HDBaseT Rx. The resultant systems have a variety of video plug-in options and ease of integration with audio systems. Power, volume, and muting buttons on the wall-plate enable users to easily control the display or monitor connected to the Rx unit. With LAN connectivity at the Tx or Rx unit, the KD- X3x1WUTx system can be scanned and detected with Key Digital’s free KD-App for switching video source selection and CEC management of the display/projector.

KD-X3x1WUTx features Key Digital’s proprietary CEC ManagerTM technology. When received directly by KD-X100MRx, the connected display can control discreet power on or off, incremental volume control, and mute toggle. When received by KD-UPS52U, up to two connected displays can be controlled and the user may manage the intended recipient of the HDMI CEC signals. KD-UPS52U includes Key Digital’s KD- RMPS remote for presentation systems which feature CEC manager controls for a complete audio, video, and control solution without additional IR or RS-232 wiring.

Additional Key Digital Presentation Switchers also support integration with KD-X3x1WUTx. KD-X3x1WUTx is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K/UHD 24/25/30/60 (4:4:4) resolutions with up to 18Gbps bandwidth. 4K/UHD signals are extended up to 100m (328ft) and 1080p up to 150m (492ft) via single CAT5e/6 cable. In addition to AV signals, KD-X3x1WUTx extends USB 2.0, IR, and RS-232 for controlling remotely located equipment. The wall-plate unit fits in a standard US three-gang box and is powered by the Rx unit or presentation switcher for convenient installation. Auto-Switching on the KD-X3x1WUTx features automatic selection of newly detected sources and

switching from newly disconnected sources via Hot Plug Detection voltage when enabled.

The KD-X3x1WUTx uses advanced EDID controls, and comes with a built-in internal library with 15 EDID handshakes including 4K with HDR in addition to native EDID data copied from the Rx display/device. KD-X3x1WUTx features unique EDID handshakes provided to the VGA source and the HDMI source.
