Overview

The KVM over IP Matrix System is a solution that combines KE Series
Extenders (KE6900, KE6940, KE6900ST, KE6910, KE6912, KE8900S,
KE8950, KE8952, KE9900ST, KE9950, KE9952), with the KE Matrix
Manager Software (CCKM) to extend, control and monitor access to
computers, across a network, in a multitude of ways. The system lets you setup
a matrix of remote KVM consoles that access computers across a network, with
the flexibility to control and configure each connection.
The KE Extenders consist of transmitters that connects to the computer and
receivers that provide console access from a separate location. The computer
is accessed from the remote console via a standard TCP/IP network or direct
Ethernet cable connection. This is perfect for any installation where you need
to place the console where it is convenient, but you want the computer to reside
in a secure location - away from the keyboard, mouse and display.
KE6900 is a single view extender that supports one DVI display at each end.
The KE6940 is a dual view extender that supports two DVI displays at each
end, allowing the video output to display across two monitors.
KE8950 and KE8952 are single view 4K HDMI extenders that support HDCP
1.4 and HDMI 1.4a. The KE89 Series connect unit-to-unit or over a TCP/IP
network via a Gigabit Ethernet or SFP port. Additionally, the KE8952's
Gigabit LAN port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which provides a
network connection and powers the unit from a network switch over Cat 5e
cable.
KE6910 and KE6912 support one DVI display at each end, providing video
resolutions up to 2560 x 2048 @ 50Hz and flawless and lossless video
compression quality with minimal latency. The extenders also support 2K x 2K
video resolution (2048 x 2048 @ 60Hz), which is used widely in the Air Traffic
Control (ATC) industry. KE6910 provides dual power supplies for redundancy
while KE6912 features Power over Ethernet (PoE) function
The KE9950 / KE9952 is a 4K DisplayPort Single Display KVM over IP
