Get a full AVoIP streaming solution for anywhere low-latency, high-quality video presentation is required.

KDS-EN7 encoder is an advanced transmitter for streaming 4K video signals via Ethernet over copper cable. It encodes and streams over an IP network from HDMI input, and transmits the USB, IR, RS232, or CEC signal over IP network.

The KDS-7 line comprises a full range of encoders and decoders, supports up to 1000 video sources, enables simple and fast deployment, and easily scales to suit any size network AV installation.

Delivering a superb user experience, enterprise IT-grade security and advanced yet intuitive management, KDS-7 is a perfect fit for enterprise, education, homeland security, military or government sites of any size.

Outstanding End-User Experience
• Rich set of inputs and interfaces, featuring multiple connectivity options, including USB-C and HDMI, KDS-7 devices support the vast majority of end-user devices. With USB-C connectivity, end-user devices are charged while they are connected, eliminating the need for an additional power cable.
• Easy-to-use KVM simplified control via keyboard and mouse, with a specially designed widget and navigation among up to 16 screens, with configurable layout.
• Large-scale video wall controls supports more than 64 screens in different layouts that are easily configurable via the dedicated management device, and switchable in one click using the management device or Kramer Control software.
• Instantaneous switching optimized for a fast switching time. Switching between streams takes just 1 second or less.

Ideal for Large-Scale Deployments
• Highly scalable - the KDS-7 line supports up to 1000 video sources, suited to the largest installations.
• State-of-the-art management device with advanced management capabilities that are provided via the dedicated management device, including multi-device grouping, preset virtual matrix stream routes, group configuration management and role-based access management.
• Extensive set of management capabilities features with open P3K APIs, a front panel LCD screen and an intuitive, embedded web-based user interface, KDS-7 devices provide a rich set of tools for deployment and configuration. This enables audio-visual experiences in any space, large or small, and allows management from anywhere for reliable and flexible operational management.

Robust Security
• Enterprise IT-grade security - KDS-7 devices comply with IT security requirements, including 802.1x and HTTP-S/TLS.
• Security certification - All devices carry OWASP Top 10 certification for web application security.
• Separate ethernet ports for optimal security and experience -Physical separation between control and AV data over two separate Ethernet ports ensures IT control and an uninterrupted audio-visual experience.

Simple Planning and Rollout
• Cost-effective from day one - Plug-and-play integration with leading IP network switches, such as Netgear M4250 series, enable deployment in a wide variety of network topologies. There is no need to deal with complex IP packets prioritization or switching setting. Offering easy management, high reliability and adjustable bandwidth control, KDS-7 is extremely cost-effective to maintain over the long term
• Full product range for any site, any application - The comprehensive KDS-7 line spans encoders, decoders and auto-switcher encoders in a choice of rack and wall-plate form factors, as well as a dedicated manager device. The broad set of products within the KDS-7 product line allows quick and cost-effective rollout of AV-enabled spaces of all forms and size. The eight different KDS-7 devices can be combined in any way, with any quantity of decoders, according to the site needs.
• Integrated with Kramer's complete audio-visual solutions, KDS-7 line is part of Kramer's market-leading full AVoIP-based solution. It is pre-integrated with Kramer Control, allowing efficient deployment and control of any space, at a fraction of the time and cost of standalone alternatives. It also works perfectly with KDS-USB2 for AVoIP remote access to any USB peripheral devices, such as webcams.
