Extend 4K Video, USB, IR, and RS232 Up to 200 Meters Over Standard Network Cables
The 4K 200M KVM IP Extender is a high-performance, hardware-based HDMI over IP solution that transmits uncompressed-quality 4K video, audio, USB keyboard/mouse signals, IR remote commands, and RS232 serial data over a single Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable. Leveraging the efficient H.265 compression standard and TCP/IP protocols, this extender delivers flawless 4K/30Hz resolution at distances up to 200 meters (656 feet) – far beyond the limitations of traditional HDMI cables.
Designed for professional AV installations, control rooms, digital signage, education, and home theater setups, this extender supports three flexible operating modes: point-to-point, multipoint-to-multipoint, and cascade connection. This versatility makes it ideal for both simple single-display extensions and complex multi-source, multi-display networks.

Use Cases / Application Scenarios
-
Conference Rooms & Boardrooms
Extend a presentation PC’s 4K display to a large screen across the room, while controlling the computer wirelessly via USB keyboard/mouse from the table – all over a single network cable. -
Digital Signage & Retail Displays
Centrally manage multiple screens in a store or mall by using multipoint mode, sending different content to different displays from a single source or multiple sources. -
Education & Lecture Halls
Place the AV source (e.g., document camera, laptop) in a secure equipment room and extend the signal to projectors or monitors in the classroom, with IR control for on-the-fly switching. -
Home Theater & Gaming
Keep noisy or heat-generating gaming PCs or media servers in a separate room, and enjoy 4K gaming or movie playback in your living room with full KVM and IR remote functionality. -
Control Centers & Security Monitoring
Transmit RS232 control signals alongside video to manage PTZ cameras or display walls, enabling centralized operation from a remote console. -
Cascade & Multi-display Installations
Using a network switch, connect multiple transmitters and receivers to create a matrix-style distribution system – ideal for sports bars, airports, or exhibition halls.

Connection & Operation Overview
- Connect your HDMI source (DVD, PC, PS3, STB) to the HDMI IN port on the transmitter.
- Connect the HDMI OUT of the receiver to your HDTV or projector.
- Run a single Cat5e/6 cable (≤200m) between the transmitter and receiver.
- (Optional) Plug the IR receiver into the receiver’s IR-RX and the IR blaster into the transmitter’s IR-TX – aim the blaster at the source device.
- For KVM: Plug mouse/keyboard into the receiver’s USB ports, and connect the transmitter’s USB port to your computer.
- Power both units with the supplied 5V adapters – the power LED lights up, and the status LED flashes to indicate normal operation.
- For multipoint setups: Connect multiple TX/RX units to a network switch and configure pairing via the web browser interface.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the maximum transmission distance?
A: Up to 200 meters (656 feet) using a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. For best performance, use shielded Cat6 in electrically noisy environments.
Q2: Does this extender support 4K at 60Hz?
A: This model supports 4K resolution at 30Hz refresh rate. For 4K/60Hz applications, please refer to our higher-bandwidth models.
Q3: Can I use this with a network switch?
A: Yes. It supports point-to-point, multipoint-to-multipoint, and cascade modes via a standard Ethernet switch. Pairing is configured through the web interface.
Q4: Is software installation required?
A: No. The extender uses pure hardware design – plug-and-play. No additional drivers or software are needed for basic operation.
Q5: Can I extend both HDMI audio and video?
A: Yes. HDMI audio is transmitted along with video, supporting sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz.
Q6: What is the RS232 port used for?
A: RS232 allows bidirectional serial communication, enabling control of compatible devices (e.g., projectors, PTZ cameras, touch panels) from the remote side.
Q7: How many units can I connect in multipoint mode?
A: The number depends on your network switch capacity and bandwidth. Each unit can be paired via web settings – ideal for matrix switching up to dozens of sources and displays.
Q8: Is the IR control bidirectional?
A: The extender supports IR pass-through from the receiver side to the transmitter side – you control the source device (e.g., Blu-ray player) from the display location.
Q9: Does it work with PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: No, each unit requires its own 5V DC power adapter (included).
