5K 60Hz DisplayPort KVM-over-IP Transmitter, Aten KX9970T
As workplaces face restructuring and decentralization is inevitably enforced, control room operations are being challenged to pivot effectively throughout these safety protocols in the new normal. Despite manpower shortages, managing escalations with secure, precise, and timely data from real-time monitoring and dynamic collaboration has become measurably more mission-critical than ever.
The KX9970T is a high-performance KVM over IP transmitter that allows connection to a DisplayPort computer and enables secure, remote, and uninterrupted access to the computer from a 5K DisplayPort KVM console connected to a KX9970R receiver over an Intranet or a dedicated LAN. With the receiver console installed at a separate location from the transmitter within a standard IP network, mission-critical control room operations become more ergonomic, user-centered, and task-oriented, while remaining separate from any adverse environmental interference.
The KX9970 expands on previous models with support for up to 10 Gbps optic fiber network connection, transcendent 5K audiovisual performance, speedy peripheral data sharing, and many other new features. This future-proof
KVM over IP Matrix System solution, incorporating flexible extender connections, visual collaboration, and system control, aims to streamline control room workflows to jump start operators’ productivity with KVM over IP agility.

Effortless KVM over IP Extension
The KX9970 guarantees secure, extendable, and zero latency KVM over IP data transmission with no distance constraint to expedite real-time situational awareness for control room management. Extended data is bolstered with AES 256-bit encryption before transmission over the network and decrypted at the receiver for disclosure.
KVM over IP Control Access as Emergency Measure
The KX9970T comes equipped with a PS/2 port for connection to a KVM over IP Access Control Box (2XRT-0015G), which can be used to stop all remote receiver connections in times of emergency to allow technicians to perform timely troubleshooting and required maintenance at the local console.
Comprehensive Video Wall Collaboration to Reinforce Teamwork Efficiency
When integrating with the video wall, the KX9970 features ATEN’s patented Boundless Switching which allows operators to intuitively switch control from one computer to another by moving the mouse cursor across screens, in order to respond to any incident with escalated awareness. Furthermore, all screen contents can be “pushed” and “pulled” for prompt collaboration, sharing, and troubleshooting as required between workstations and the video wall, facilitating a streamlined control room workflow to maximize informed decision making.
KVM over IP Matrix System for Control Rooms of the Future
The KX9970 deployment is flexibly scalable, allowing point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point, and multipoint-to-multipoint installations to accommodate a multitude of industrial applications. The KX9970 extenders can be mixed and matched in a matrix configuration for installation, and this KVM over IP Matrix System allows for effortless and centralized management of all extender connections via CCKM – the KVM over IP Matrix Manager’s web GUI or an iPad app.
Applications
The KX9970 is perfectly suited to mission-critical control room applications where secure KVM over IP agility, real-time monitoring, and ergonomic desktop operations are demanded, including broadcasting NOCs, ATC towers, & production line monitoring. It is also ideal for professional gaming.
