ATEN Slim DisplayPort Single Display KVM over IP Transmitter

The KE9900ST Slim DisplayPort KVM over IP Transmitter is a compact, cost-effective solution that brings enterprise-class control to smaller environments. Designed to feed a single DisplayPort display from a host computer and extend keyboard, video, and mouse capabilities over an IP network, this transmitter pairs seamlessly with any KE Series receiver for a scalable, budget-friendly KVM over IP setup. Ideal for remote access, desk-sharing, or multi-user control rooms, the KE9900ST delivers crisp DisplayPort video, responsive peripheral support, and reliable performance without breaking the bank. With a space-saving form factor and straightforward deployment, you can create centralized control from virtually any location while preserving native KVM functionality and intuitive management.

• Compact Slim Form Factor for Space Savings — The KE9900ST is built to fit tight spaces and busy work environments. Its slim design helps you deploy at the edge of workstations, in rack enclosures, or on crowded desks, enabling a lean, organized setup that complements modern office layouts while still delivering robust IP-based KVM extension.
• DisplayPort Video with Seamless KVM over IP — This transmitter pushes high-quality DisplayPort video across your IP network while transmitting keyboard and mouse inputs to the remote console. The result is a true KVM experience that feels local, even when the computer is miles away, making it ideal for IT administration, design workstations, or engineers who demand responsive, uninterrupted control.
• Single DisplayPort Support for Focused, Reliable Performance — Optimized for one DisplayPort display, the KE9900ST delivers dependable, high-contrast visuals with minimal latency. This configuration suits applications where a single high-resolution monitor is preferred, such as software development, hardware testing, or secure environments where screen sharing is limited to one display at a time.
• Versatile KE Series Compatibility for Scalability — The transmitter is designed to pair with KE Series receivers, enabling a scalable, modular extension solution. Start with a single transmitter and a receiver at a remote workstation, then expand with additional KE receivers to cover multiple rooms or campuses without overhauling your existing infrastructure.
• Simple Deployment and Practical Management — Expect straightforward installation, standard Ethernet networking, and intuitive management options that minimize downtime. The KE9900ST is built for IT teams that value reliability and ease of use, with configuration that prioritizes uptime and predictable performance across demanding environments.

Frequently asked questions

• What is KVM over IP? KVM over IP is a technology that enables you to control a distant computer system (keyboard, video, and mouse) over an IP network. It consolidates access to multiple machines, reduces the need to be physically present at each computer, and supports centralized management from a single interface.
• How many displays does the KE9900ST support? The KE9900ST is designed for a single DisplayPort display per transmitter. It is optimized for scenarios where one monitor is used at the remote site while still providing full KVM functionality over IP.
• Is the KE9900ST compatible with KE Series receivers? Yes. The transmitter is built to pair with any KE Series receiver, enabling a scalable, end-to-end KVM over IP deployment with consistent performance and management across devices.
• Do I need special software to operate the system? In most configurations, you can manage the KVM over IP setup via standard KE Series management tools and interfaces. The system is designed for plug-and-play deployment with straightforward configuration and monitoring through the vendor’s management options.
• What network considerations should I plan for? A reliable Gigabit Ethernet network is recommended to ensure smooth video transmission and low latency for keyboard and mouse inputs. Plan for adequate bandwidth when using additional USB peripherals or multiple remote stations, and consider QoS settings on your network if available.
• Can I expand beyond a single transmitter/receiver pairing? Absolutely. The KE9900ST can be integrated into larger KE Series ecosystems, allowing you to add more receivers to extend access to more users or rooms while maintaining centralized control and consistent performance.
• What about security? KVM over IP solutions generally include network isolation, access control, and encrypted signaling depending on the exact model and firmware. Always ensure you configure authentication and network security best practices when deploying over shared or untrusted networks.
