FAQ's - hosted by Key Digital's System Design Group
Q:
"Does Key Digital® make a product that helps with HDMI sync issues?"
A:

Yes. The KD-HDDA1x1 provides re-clocking, amplification and buffering of the HDMI signal. This will also help resolve handshaking and sync issues with HDCP/EDID. In 2013, look for the release of the next-generation product, KD-HDDA1x1Pro, which will include audio de-embedding from the HDMI signal.

Q:
"Are Key Digital's HDMI products capable of supporting 3D?"
A:

All current Key Digital® Matrix Switchers, Switchers, Distribution Amps and Extenders are 3D ready and have the ability to pass 3D stereoscopic signal formats. In addition to this, they also support 4K resolutions up to 4096x2160/24 for commercial applications (excluding KD-CATHD500FW).

Q:
“What are the benefits of using Key Digital® KD-CAT6STP1X?”
A:

The benefits of using our Super CAT6 (KD-CAT6STP1X) cable are derived from the use of four shielded individual shielded pairs. This provides high performance data communications and protection from electromagnetic interference and eliminates any crosstalk issues. Utilizing KD-CAT6STP1X also future proofs your installation, ensuring additional bandwidth for your customer's voice, data, video and security as they grow in the future.
