Gen3 4K 60Hz HDMI KVM over IP Receiver - AV over IP Extender (GF-HDK18G-VIP-RX)

GF-HDK18G-VIP-RX

The Gefen GF-HDK18G-VIP-RX 4K HDMI KVM over IP Receiver provides remote access to your high-definition and Ultra HD sources over a local area network (LAN). This powerful receiver unit allows you to extend 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI video, audio, RS-232, IR, and USB signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) from any sender unit on the network. Part of a flexible and scalable AV over IP system, this receiver, when used with a sender, can be used in a simple extender configuration or expanded to a sophisticated virtual matrix KVM switch system. Ideal for large-scale remote workstation access, digital signage, and high-performance AV applications, this HDMI extender solution offers a versatile and massively scalable system for your professional AV and IT needs.

Key Features

Stunning 4K Video: Supports output resolutions up to 4K 60Hz (4:4:4) with HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, ensuring pristine video quality for professional AV over IP applications.

 

Flexible Signal Extension: Extends HDMI video, USB, RS-232, IR, and stereo analog audio over a standard Gigabit Local Area Network.

 

Independent Signal Routing: Video, Audio, RS-232, IR, and USB can be routed independently, allowing any receiver to connect to any sender on the network to create a virtual matrix.

 

Integrated KVM Functionality: Features two USB 2.0 ports for connecting keyboards, mice, and other USB devices, with support for USB Roaming and OSD Hotkey Switching.

 

Built-in Video Wall Controller: Create dynamic video walls with configurations up to 16x16, complete with bezel compensation for a seamless display.

 

Audio De-Embedding & Return: A built-in audio de-embedder breaks out analog stereo audio, while an optical input supports an Audio Return Path (ARP) from the display location.

 

Power over Ethernet (PoE): Conforms to IEEE 802.3at standard, allowing the receiver to be powered via a PoE-enabled network switch without a separate power supply.

How It Works

The Gefen HDK18G-VIP system operates with two main components: a Sender unit (sold separately) and one or more Receiver units connected over a standard Gigabit Local Area Network. The Sender unit connects to your HDMI or USB-C source device, and the Receiver unit connects to your display. Using a network switch, the system extends signals up to 330 feet (100 meters). By setting the channel ID on the Sender and Receiver units to match, you can route the source signal to the desired display. By adding multiple Senders and Receivers to the network, you can create a flexible and massively scalable "virtual matrix," allowing any connected workstation to control any source on the network using this advanced AV over IP solution.
