ADDERLink XD522 (XD522-DP-PAIR) is a high performance Dual-monitor DisplayPort KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extender that enables you to locate your critical computing hardware in a secure and temperature controlled environment away from the user work station whilst maintaining the same user desktop experience.
The XD522 can transmit one 4K @30Hz, or 2560x1600 at HDR10 video stream to a single monitor or two 1920x1200 video streams to two monitors. Also supports DisplayPort audio, digital audio (S/PDIF), analog audio, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 (full and low speed) over CATx cable.
ADDERLink XD522-DP-PAIR Transmitter & Receiver Rear
DisplayPort video, USB 2.0 (HID-only) and audio all pass along a single CatX cable. A second CATx cable is required for the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 extension. Distance is dependent on the monitor resolution, number of monitors, cable type and the number of connection breaks for patch panels and wall plates:
The XD522 system is uncompressed, where by every pixel of every frame are sent without loss. The receiver supports DisplayPort Dual Mode (DP++) which means that monitors which only support HDMI or DVI can be used (with the correct adapter cable). XD522 can extend either two 1920 x 1200 screens or a single high resolution screen to 2560 x 1600. The single screen configuration supports High-Dynamic-Range (HDR10) up to 2560 x 1600 @60Hz 10bit per color.
The XD522 system delivers analog stereo audio (Line in, Line out) & supports microphone input & headphones. It also delivers S/PDIF (optical input) via a 3.5mm jack line in connector (mini Toslink). The DisplayPort digital audio path can have up to eight channels of 24-bit 192 kHz uncompressed "Pulsecode modulation" PCM audio or can encapsulate compressed audio formats in the audio stream. Supported compressed formats: DRA, Dolby MAT, DTS HD.
The transparent USB 2.0 link supports enables connection of any USB human interface device from mice and keyboards through to touch screens, graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks and 3D explorers. Mass storage devices and isochronous devices such as webcams and headsets can also be used.
The remote unit has an built-in 6-port USB hub to enable several USB devices to be connected. HID devices are supported on ports marked "A" and isochronous devices (i.e. USB audio or video devices) on the Hi-Speed link only marked "B".
RS232 with RTS/CTS flow control can be passed between the units to a maximum baud rate 115K2 via the options port. Adder's RC4 remote key switch is also supported.
The XD522 extender has an intelligent EDID management to allow the true characteristics of the monitor to be passed back to the computer.
The AdderLink XD522 extender is delivered in a zero config state so you can plug in the units and start working with them straight away. There is no need for drivers or software to be installed.
Adder Technology have a well-earned reputation for creating products that perform well and stay the course. AdderLink XD522 is no exception and features tough enclosure with internal components and external connectors that can an easily withstand environmental pressures. Minimum of 50,000 hours Mean-Time-Between-Failure (MTBF) based on 100% PSU load. Actual PSU load does not exceed 66%.
