Slim HDMI KVM over IP Transmitter

The ATEN KE8900ST is a compact transmitter that sends HDMI video and USB control signals over a standard IP network. It pairs with a compatible KE Series receiver to let operators manage a computer from a remote console. The slim enclosure fits on a desk, a wall or in a 0U rack slot.

Upgrade from direct cabling

Replacing a short HDMI and USB cable run with this IP-based link removes distance limits and lets the host sit in a secure, climate-controlled room. The jump is worth it when the console must be tens or hundreds of metres away, or when multiple consoles need shared access to one system.

Handles 1920 x 1200 video

The link delivers lossless compression at 1920 x 1200 resolution while forwarding virtual media and serial commands. It runs out when the source exceeds that resolution, when the network cannot sustain the required bandwidth, or when a second display output is needed.

Questions about this item

What physical mounting options does the KE8900ST transmitter provide?

The unit can sit on a desk, be fixed to a wall, or installed at the rear of a rack using its 0U rack-mount design.

How is the KE8900ST powered, and which connection do installers sometimes overlook?

It accepts power through a DC jack and also includes a DC terminal block; the terminal block is the step that is frequently missed.

Which replaceable component handles serial control on the transmitter?

The RS-232 serial port is the interface used for command and control; if it fails the transmitter would need service.
