KE8900S slim HDMI KVM over IP system is a pair of compact and affordable high performance IP-based Transmitter (KE8900ST) / Receiver (KE8900SR) that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, HDMI monitor) over an intranet, enabling users to locate computers in a secure and temperature controlled environment, which is isolated from users' workstation. KE8900ST or KE8900SR can be paired with any KE-Series Receiver or Transmitter for a savings solution that stays within budget.

KE8900ST supports HDMI video input from the computer while KE8900SR supports one HDMI monitor output, providing video resolutions up to 1920x1200 and flawless and lossless video compression quality with minimal latency. The extender also supports virtual media function and RS-232 serial commands. In addition to a DC power jack, KE8900ST transmitter includes an extra DC terminal block for convenient installation.

KE8900ST can be set on a desk, mounted on a wall or at the rear of a rack with its space-saving zero-U rack mount design. Moreover, KE8900S can be used as a point-to-point/point-to-multipoint/multipoint-to-point extender, or integrated into a KVM over IP matrix system (multipoint-to-multipoint) when combined with the KE Matrix Management Software (CCKM), providing more flexible applications in different working environments.

KE8900S system provides multiple ways for configuration, such as the receiver's local OSD, KE Matrix Management Software, or RS-232/Telnet text menu. KE8900S system also offers enhanced security features such as supporting AES encryption for secured video/keyboard/mouse/USB data transmissions and RADIUS/LDAP/AD or remote user authentication that provides an added layer of connection security.

When integrated with the KE Matrix Management Software, KE8900S system supports more advanced features such as boundless switching, fast switching, video wall, multi display, profile scheduling, auto detection of all KE Series extenders on the same subnet for the sake of fast installation or configuration, as well as username/password authentication and authorization.

As a KVM over IP matrix system, KE8900S can make console-to-computer connections in several ways:
• One-to-one (Extender mode)
• One-to-many (Splitter mode)
• Many-to-one (Switch mode), and
• Many-to-many (Matrix mode)

Implementing the KE Matrix Management Software (CCKM) with KE8900S, IT administrators receive advanced features functioning as auto detection of all KE series extenders* on the same subnet for the sake of fast installation or configuration, username/password authentication and authorization, and the ability to define different types of connections that can be switched and shared.

Security features also provide extra protection, supporting AES encryption for secured data transmissions, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD or remote user authentication provides an added layer of connection security. Moreover, with an OSD, RS-232 support, and Auto MDIX, KE series is the most cost-effective and convenient way to get a full digital extension from anywhere on the intranet.

More flexible and efficient operations can be achieved in the KVM over IP matrix system, which integrates KE series extenders with the CCKM management software, such as multi-display setups, video grouping, video profile scheduling and enhancements that give greater access to quick and easy control tools to configure KE devices over a network. Whether you're configuring, monitoring, administrating, controlling or extending computer access, the KVM over IP matrix system is made adaptable to fit an endless variety of working environments and workstation settings, as well as to provide solutions in broadcasting, control center, multimedia, manufacturing and many other industries where matrix extending is required.

Over IP
Extend a computer's KVM console any distance over a LAN by connecting the Tx (Transmitter) and Rx (Receiver) units to your network. Extend a computer's KVM console up to 330 feet (100 m) by directly connecting the Tx (Transmitter) and Rx (Receiver) units with a single CAT-5e/6 cable. 

Flexibility
KE8900S allows you to access, share, and switch full control of Tx (Transmitter) connected computers - from any Rx (Receiver - KVM console) on the network. Flexibly allows one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many computer to KVM console connections.

Advanced Management System
The KE Matrix Management Software allows you to easily administer all KE8900S devices over a network, using an intuitive user-friendly web based GUI.

Fast Switching**
Fast switching feature allows switching between the Tx (Transmitter) devices within 0.3 second. Users can operate keyboard / mouse immediately without waiting for the process of USB enumeration.  This is ideal for control center application, which has strong demand for the seamless operation.

Whether you're configuring, monitoring, administrating, controlling or extending computer access, the KVM over IP Matrix System is made adaptable, to fit an endless variety of working environments and workstation settings, as well as to provide solutions in broadcasting, control center, multimedia, manufacturing and many other industries where matrix extending is required.
