Kramer KDS-100 Dual engine AVoIP streaming

Deliver a complete and versatile AVoIP streaming solution for 1GE (1Gbps) networks that makes the most of the H.264/H.265 open standard.

Widest choice of complete solutions for any AVoIP streaming needs

KDS-100 is ideal for any space or use case requiring real-time, high-quality video presentation up to 4K60 4:2:2, or simplified dual streaming capabilities, such as operations rooms, university auditoriums, command and control centers, and AVoIP distribution deployments.

Unique dual streaming capabilities

Stream video content in two different quality formats (also called primary and secondary streams) using a single encoder device, saving the costs of having a separate one for each format. Real-time dual-format encoding is ideal when content needs to be presented in high quality (primary stream) on a local display, as well as sent in standard quality for presentation at a remote site or to a recording device (secondary stream). Typical applications include hybrid or recorded university lectures, and command centers where content from in-room cameras is both presented and recorded. If needed, both streams can be of high quality.

Superior end-user experience

Deliver 4K60 4:2:2 resolution and high-fidelity audio that bring the finest details to the fore, with rich control options.

High-quality video and audio
Support for 4K60 4:2:2 video resolution ensures video is transmitted in high quality, matching the capabilities of displays. KDS-100 delivers crystal-clear audio regardless of the network size.

Both low latency and low bandwidth
Employing advanced video processing and leveraging the H.264/265 open standard, KDS-100 delivers with ultra-low latency and is very bandwidth-efficient, all without compromising image quality. This enables use of the existing 1GE IT network, even for mission-critical applications that require real-time video in high quality, such as command and control centers.

Supports direct recording
Allows direct, cost-efficient and simple recording of the meeting or transmitted content through third-party network video recorder (NVR) devices, cameras and displays, meeting the requirements of government sites for efficient, always-activated recording.

Fast switching
Optimized for fast switching between streams. Switching typically takes just 1 second or less.

Designed for large-scale installations

Provide an optimized solution for large Education and Enterprise campuses and Defense and Homeland Security facilities, with support for numerous simultaneous video flows and built-in advanced management capabilities.

Highly scalable
The KDS-100 line supports up to 1000 video sources, suited to the largest installations.

Simplified configuration
KDS-100 line is pre-integrated with NETGEAR network switches, enabling fast, simple, and assured integration with the IT network.

User-friendly connectivity
Products automatically announce their presence in the network and are auto-discovered, simplifying connectivity between the decoder and all products. The information is presented as a channel ID, making connectivity very user friendly.

3rd Party devices support

Leveraging usage of the open standard encoding KDS-100 can be easily integrated with already existing streaming infrastructure. IP Cameras, Network Recording devices, Video Processors, IP transmitters and receivers using H.26x encoding and most of the standard streaming protocols will be compatible with KDS-100

Simple planning and rollout

Integrate your AV solution seamlessly into any IP network with ease and confidence. Kramer AV-enabled spaces, regardless of size, can be set up quickly and effortlessly, requiring no specialized AV expertise and minimal adjustments to your existing network infrastructure. The KDS-100 offers native integration with Kramer AVoIP Manager—available both on the cloud through the Panta Rhei service and on-premises—ensuring simple deployment and streamlined monitoring of devices.

Fully integrated with Kramer’s complete Pro AV solutions
The KDS family is part of Kramer’s market-leading full AVoIP-based solution. KDS-100 is pre-integrated with Kramer Control, allowing efficient deployment and control of any space, at a fraction of the time and cost of standalone alternatives.

Minimal infrastructure changes
Because KDS-100 is so bandwidth-efficient, the IT infrastructure can be used for AV streaming without a noticeable impact on network performance. Use of the existing IT network and Ethernet wiring, simple configuration of switches, and reduced need for skilled technicians together speed-up deployments and reduce costs. Large-scale high-fidelity audio can be distributed over the IP infrastructure.

Simplified installation, with dual-stream
The unique dual streaming capabilities of KDS-100 enable real-time streaming of video in two different quality formats using a single encoder box, reducing equipment and cabling costs, simplifying installations, and saving space.

Resilient security, built-in

Preserve the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the IT network with a highly secured and resilient AVoIP solution.

Enterprise IT-grade security
KDS-100 devices comply with IT security requirements, including 802.1x and HTTP-S/TLS.

Security certification
All devices carry OWASP Top 10 certification for web application security.

Superior user experience with enterprise IT-grade security

The KDS-100 is extremely bandwidth-efficient, making it perfect for deployment over an existing IT network. KDS-100 supports up to 1,000 video sources, enables simple and fast deployment, and easily scales to suit any size network AV installation. Delivering a superior user experience, enterprise IT-grade security, and advanced, yet intuitive management, KDS-100 meets all the streaming needs of an enterprise, education, homeland security, military, or government sites of any size.
