Low-Bandwidth 4K KVM-over-IP, Powered by H.264 / H.265
A network-based KVM and AV distribution platform that lets operators access and control remote computers from one central workstation. View, manage, and switch between connected systems over standard IP infrastructure instead of moving between separate machines or equipment rooms. With H.264 and H.265 compression, N2N delivers clear 4K video and responsive control while dramatically reducing bandwidth, making large deployments practical to scale.
The N2N Series is a 4K HDMI KVM and AV-over-IP distribution system built on H.264 / H.265 video compression. A single hardware platform is software-configurable as an encoder, a decoder, or a standalone KVM node, so one part number covers every position in the system and inventory stays simple.
N2N transmits HDMI video at 3840 × 2160 @ 30Hz with stereo audio and USB keyboard and mouse emulation over standard gigabit Ethernet. Copper links reach 100 m (328 ft), and an SFP module extends the same link up to 10 km over single-mode fiber. No software is installed on the source computers.
| Encoder (Input Node) | Connects to a source computer’s HDMI and USB; streams video, keyboard, and mouse over IP |
| Decoder (Output Node) | Drives an operator monitor and USB peripherals; pulls any permitted source from the network |
| Network | Standard gigabit IP. UDP multicast for one-to-many, TCP unicast for point-to-point |
| CAT5 / CAT6 | Copper links up to 100 m (328 ft) per device |
| Single-Mode Fiber | Extends links up to 10 km (6.2 mi) over an SFP module |
| Management | Desktop application or web browser, with no agent installed on the source computers |
Low bandwidth. Real-time control. No source-side software. Designed and built in the USA.
The N2N Desktop Application is the control center for the entire system. Administrators discover devices, assign roles, build video walls and multiviewers, manage user permissions, and drive live displays from a single interface. Devices can also be reached from a standard web browser, with no agent installed on any source machine.
Build a layout once and recall it instantly. N2N saves any arrangement of sources and displays as a named scene, then switches between scenes on demand or on a timer. Ideal for control rooms with shift-based views and for digital signage that rotates content automatically.
Connects to a source computer’s video and USB ports and streams video, audio, keyboard, and mouse onto the network. Any permitted receiver on the network can pull that stream. No software is installed on the source machine.
Drives an operator monitor and USB peripherals, pulling any permitted source from the network. Switch sources through the desktop application, a browser, or the on-screen display. The same unit that runs as a transmitter runs as a receiver, so a link is two of the same part number.
Turns a single node into a self-contained KVM station driven by the device’s own firmware. Press Ctrl twice to open the control panel, pick a source, and take keyboard and mouse control. Hotkeys, the single, 1×2, and 2×2 layouts, and per-user source permissions are built in.
Route any source to any receiver across the network, or composite up to four sources onto a single display in a single, 1×2, or 2×2 layout. Unicast for point-to-point, multicast for one-to-many, or Auto to let the system choose.
Three-port direct-connect switching — no network switch required.The Link 4 Series receiver includes up to three RJ45 inputs, allowing direct connection to three transmitters for fast local switching using hotkeys or OSD. Perfect for secure stations or small environments that need multi-system access without adding a network switch.
Transmit HDMI video up to 3840 × 2160 @ 30Hz with visually lossless performance and ultra-low latency.
Cut network bandwidth substantially versus uncompressed AV-over-IP while holding image quality and responsiveness.
Extend keyboard and mouse control across the network for seamless remote workstation management.
Create dynamic video walls and custom multiview layouts directly from the centralized software interface.
Standard Ethernet infrastructure or long-distance fiber transmission for maximum deployment flexibility.
Distribute any source to any display across the network using unicast or multicast streaming.
Save layouts as scenes and automate switching schedules for control rooms and digital signage.
Create user accounts with customizable access rights for secure multi-user environments.
Extend stereo audio and USB HID devices alongside HDMI video over a single network.

Software tools like AnyDesk and TeamViewer need a working operating system, an installed agent, and a live network session. N2N works at the hardware level, delivering video and control straight off the HDMI and USB ports with no OS dependency, no VPN client, and nothing installed on the target machine.
| N2N Series | Software Remote Tools | |
|---|---|---|
| Source-side software | None required | Agent must be installed and running |
| Video compression | H.264 / H.265 | Often older or less efficient |
| Bandwidth usage | Low, H.265 optimized | Higher consumption |
| Multiview monitoring | Up to 9 systems at once | Limited or unavailable |
| System switching | Instant, hotkey or OSD | Slower and less flexible |
| On-screen controls | Integrated OSD for source, status, and network | Separate tools or added setup |
| Central management | Desktop software and browser-based admin | Harder to centralize |
| Scalability | Add endpoints on the network | Expansion gets costly or complex |
| Display setups | Single-head and dual-head | May require different models |
| OEM customization | ARM-based, open to custom features and branding | Difficult |
| Best fit | Command centers, SOCs, data centers, broadcast, industrial, corporate IT | Smaller, less scalable setups |
The N2N Series is built on a single software-configurable platform. One unit serves as encoder, decoder, or standalone KVM node, over CAT5 copper or single-mode fiber, so systems scale by adding units rather than by adding part numbers.
