Mount Vernon, Feb. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At ISE Key Digital will showcase its new app-ready Presentation Solutions soft-codec enabling product family with HDBaseT, HDMI, audio, and control using the company’s extensive hardware and software ecosystem. Key Digital excitedly awaits the opportunity to display its latest technologies and mature products at the world’s largest exhibition for A/V and systems integration.
“The true power of our new presentation solutions line-up lies in the ease of controlling an entire ecosystem. With KD-PS42 or KD-UPS52U as the communications hub, commands received from the free Key Digital app, Compass Control Pro, or a third-party control system via our simplistic Open API are forwarded to the controlled amplifier, PTZ camera, or connected projectors or displays. Even applications without touchscreen control such as lecture halls and classrooms in the education channel can turn on and off their projector, select the desired video source, and ramp volume through our KD-AMP220 pre-amp functionality. Our accumulated expertise has given us the goal of a better user experience and ease of integration, and our family of presentation solutions is the result of that insight. We look forward to showcasing our products and live demos for the attendees of ISE 2020,” said Jonathon Ferry, National Training Manager.
