The Hikvision DS-C80K-01HI is a KVM HDMI input node for distributed video wall systems. It accepts 1080p 60Hz signals via HDMI 1.4 with YUV 4:4:4 processing. Smart-Boards supplies this equipment across the GCC and Africa.
This input node integrates into decentralised KVM architectures, allowing independent operation without a central server. It processes 1080p 60Hz video with YUV 4:4:4 sampling to maintain colour accuracy. The device supports unicast and multicast switching, enabling flexible network integration for scalable deployments across multiple sites.
Installation is simplified by its half-width rack design and OLED status screen. Power can be supplied via IEEE 802.3at PoE or an external source for redundancy. Connectivity includes HDMI 1.4 in/loop-out, stereo audio ports, RS-232/485 serial interfaces, and dual Gigabit network access via RJ-45 and SFP optical ports.
Key features
- Signal Processing - Processes 1080p 60Hz HDMI input with YUV 4:4:4 sampling to ensure high-quality colour restoration without loss.
- Network Flexibility - Supports both unicast and multicast protocols with hot backup between Gigabit electrical and SFP optical ports.
- Low Latency Control - Achieves keyboard signal delays within 10ms using a dual-engine system for responsive remote operation.
- Power Redundancy - Operates on IEEE 802.3at PoE or uses external power backup to ensure continuous system availability.
- System Compatibility - Compatible with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Kylin operating systems for remote host power management.
Ideal for: Distributed video wall control in schools, ministries, and corporate centres across the GCC and Africa requiring scalable, decentralised AV infrastructure.

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 device operate without a central server?
Yes. The system uses decentralisation where all nodes work independently. A single node failure does not affect the entire system operation, ensuring reliability for critical installations.
What power options are available for the DS-C80K-01HI?
The unit supports IEEE 802.3at PoE for simplified cabling. It also accepts 110–240 V AC input for external power backup, providing flexibility for different site power infrastructures.
Does it support audio input and output?
Yes. It includes 3.5 mm audio in/out ports and handles HDMI embedded stereo audio. It supports 24-bit/48 kHz sampling and codecs including AAC-LC and G.711.
