ATEN recently introduced two new models in its KVM over IP Matrix System, the KE8950 4K HDMI single display KVM over IP extender and the KE8952 4K HDMI single display KVM over IP extender with PoE.

The two new additions bring “precise 4K video to any command and control centre that needs flexible workstations,” according to the ATEN press release.

The ATEN 4K KVM over IP matrix system “combines KVM over IP extenders with KE Matrix Management Software (CCKM) to extend, control and monitor access to computers across an independent network in a multitude of ways,” the company announcement says.

“This allows it to fit an endless variety of working environments and workstation settings, providing solutions for broadcasting, control centre, multimedia, manufacturing and many other industries where matrix extending is required,” according to the ATEN press release.
