The Hikvision DS-C80K-01HI/4K is a half-width KVM input node designed for distributed video wall systems, supporting 4K 60Hz HDMI 2.0 signals with YUV 4:4:4 processing. Smart-Boards supplies this hardware to organizations across the GCC and Africa, offering live demonstrations and quote-only pricing for multi-site deployments.
This input node integrates into decentralized KVM architectures to enable long-range signal transmission without a central server. It features a dual-engine DSP and FPGA processing system that achieves keyboard delays within 10 ms, ensuring responsive remote control for Windows, Linux, and Kylin hosts. The device supports both unicast and multicast switching, allowing flexible network configuration via its Gigabit RJ-45 and SFP optical ports.
Physical design includes a half-width rack form factor measuring 210 x 42 x 180 mm, powered by PoE 802.3at or external AC voltage. An OLED status screen provides immediate visibility of device configuration and running status. The unit accepts 4K 60Hz video with embedded or 3.5mm audio inputs, supporting 24-bit/48kHz stereo processing. Smart-Boards manages logistics for delivery across the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and African nations.

How do I get a price for this product?
Do you deliver across the GCC and Africa?
Do you offer installation and setup?
Is there a warranty?
Can I order in bulk for schools or offices?
Can this input node be delivered to countries outside the UAE?
Yes. Smart-Boards ships to GCC nations including KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, as well as selected African countries through established logistics partners, ensuring cost-effective delivery.
Does Smart-Boards provide on-site installation for this device?
On-site installation is available within the UAE only. For deliveries outside the UAE, the unit arrives ready for local setup with remote guidance provided by our technical team to ensure correct configuration.
What is the maximum video resolution supported by this node?
The DS-C80K-01HI/4K supports a maximum input resolution of 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at a 60 Hz refresh rate via its single HDMI 2.0 input port.
How is the device powered in a standard rack setup?
The node supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified cabling. It can also operate using an external 110–240 V AC power supply for environments where PoE is not available.
Is live demonstration available before purchase?
Yes. Smart-Boards offers live or virtual demonstrations to verify compatibility with your existing network infrastructure and video wall controllers before you finalize your quotation.
What mounting options are included with the unit?
The package includes a mounting bracket and connecting bracket for standard rack installation. The half-width design also allows for planar or optional magnetic mounting depending on your specific site requirements.
Does the system require a central server to operate?
No. The KVM system operates on a decentralized architecture where all nodes work independently. This ensures that the failure of a single node does not disrupt the operation of the entire system.
