As workplaces face restructuring and decentralization is inevitably enforced, control room operations are being challenged to pivot effectively throughout these safety protocols in the new normal. Despite manpower shortages, managing escalations with secure, precise, and timely data from real-time monitoring and dynamic collaboration has become measurably more mission-critical than ever.

KX9980T is a high-performance KVM over IP transmitter that allows connection to a DisplayPort computer and enables secure, remote, and uninterrupted access to the computer from a 5K DisplayPort KVM console connected to a KX9980R receiver over an Intranet or a dedicated LAN. With the receiver console installed at a separate location from the transmitter within a standard IP network, mission-critical control room operations become more ergonomic, user-centered, and task-oriented, while remaining separate from any adverse environmental interference.

KX9980 expands on previous models with support for up to 10 Gbps fiber-optic network connection, transcendent 5K audiovisual performance, speedy peripheral data sharing, and many other new features. This future-proof KVM over IP matrix system solution, incorporating flexible extender connections, visual collaboration, and system control, aims to streamline control room workflows to jump start operators' productivity with KVM over IP agility.

KX9980T high-performance IP-based 5K DisplayPort dual-display KVM over IP transmitter transmits a computer's keyboard, video, mouse, and USB signals to the receiver for providing separate console accesses from both the transmitter's and receiver's locations. The setup allows extended access to computer systems via a USB dual DisplayPort console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, dual DisplayPort monitors) over Intranet or a dedicated LAN, enabling users to place the computers in secure and temperature-controlled environments, which may be isolated from the user workstation.

KX9980 supports two DisplayPort video displays for delivering video resolutions of up to 5K (5120x2880 @ 30Hz), and offers flawless and lossless video quality with zero latency.

KX9980 is equipped with one RJ-45 port and two SFP+ slots. 10-Gbps SFP+ fiber module expansions are supported for fiber-optic network connections and a transmission distance of up to 6.2 miles (10 km).

For connection flexibility, both KX9980 transmitter and receiver models can be connected either directly to each other or via a high-speed network over a copper-based or fiber-based LAN.

KX9980 also features dual power supply capability for power redundancy to ensure reliable service.

KX9980 can be set up at the workstation, mounted onto a wall or at the rear of a rack with its space-saving zero-U rack-mount design.

As an IP-based matrix extender, KX9980 can be installed in flexible configurations, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point, and multipoint-to-multipoint. When combined with the KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM), it can be integrated into a KVM over IP matrix system (multipoint-to-multipoint) for providing more flexible applications in different working environments.

By integrating CCKM with KX9980, IT administrators can benefit from advanced features such as auto detection of all KX9980 devices on the same subnet for 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 of KX9980 include 256-bit AES encryption for secured data transmissions, as well as RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory, TACACS+ for third-party authentication services.

In conclusion, KX9980 offers the most convenient solution for providing full digital extension over a network for control room applications, such as air traffic control (ATC), traffic management centers, and broadcast distribution monitoring systems.
