SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AV Access, a provider of professional AV connectivity solutions, today announced the launch of the 8KEX100-KVM, an HDMI 2.1 KVM extender designed for users who need to separate high-performance computers from workstations while maintaining high-resolution video and reliable remote control.

Experience real-time 8K visuals and zero-lag USB control at distances up to 100 meters. Stay seamlessly connected to your workstation from a remote location. Ideal for studios, hospitals, control rooms, and mission-critical 8K workflows.

Supporting HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.3, the 8KEX100-KVM extends HDMI video and USB signals up to 100m (328ft) over a single Cat 6/6A/7 cable. With support for 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, it helps professionals maintain detailed visuals and smooth operation in demanding applications where both image quality and responsiveness matter.

8K HDMI 2.1 Performance with Flexible KVM Extension

Modern professional environments increasingly require computers to be installed away from users due to space management, equipment security, noise control, or centralized system design. However, long-distance connections can make it challenging to maintain the performance and control experience of a direct connection.

The AV Access 8KEX100-KVM solves this challenge by combining long-distance HDMI extension with KVM functionality. Users can access remotely located computers with connected keyboards, mice, and USB peripherals while maintaining 8K ultra-high-definition video performance and smooth operation.

Designed for reliable system integration, the extender uses a single Cat cable for simplified installation and supports Power over Cable (PoC) to reduce cable complexity. Additional features including USB 2.0 connectivity, RS-232 passthrough, and EDID management provide flexibility for professional AV deployments.

Built for Professional AV and Remote Computing Applications

The 8KEX100-KVM is designed for environments where high-resolution video, real-time control, and flexible equipment placement are essential, including:

Professional Workstations — Keep high-performance computers in dedicated equipment areas while providing users with direct access to 8K displays, keyboards, mice, and USB peripherals.

Control Rooms and Command Centers — Extend operator access to centralized systems while keeping critical computing hardware secure and organized.

Broadcast and Simulation Environments — Support high-resolution monitoring and responsive control for applications requiring reliable video performance and low-latency operation.

By combining HDMI 2.1 performance with long-distance KVM extension, the AV Access 8KEX100-KVM provides a practical solution for modern AV installations that require both flexibility and uncompromised performance.

The AV Access 8KEX100-KVM is now available for professional users and system integrators. For more information, visit: https://www.avaccess.com/products/8kex100-kvm/
