What is an HDMI KVM Extender?

Compared to a regular HDMI extender, an HDMI KVM extender can not only transfer HDMI (Video & Audio) signal but also carry a USB signal to allow you to control a remote device like a PC, NVR, DVR...etc. The distance can vary with different transmission technology, from a hundred meters to a couple of kilometers. This type of extender is typically applied in IT, CCTV, and industrial fields, allowing operators to control a device from distance without entering the centralized data center.
