Overview
The Hikvision DS-C80K-01HI/4K is a KVM input node capturing a 4K60 HDMI 2.0 signal and carrying it over the network to video wall controllers and decoders. It samples at YUV 444, accepts PoE under 802.3at, and includes a Gigabit SFP port and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Keyboard and mouse control reaches remote hosts over the network. Suited to Qatar control rooms and boardrooms building networked video walls.
What the DS-C80K-01HI/4K does in a networked video wall
The DS-C80K-01HI/4K is a KVM input node from Hikvision's C80K series. It takes one HDMI 2.0 source at up to 4K60 and sends that signal across the network to a centralized or distributed video wall controller, a multi-functional video center or a decoder. Because the picture travels as network data rather than a long HDMI run, the source computer can sit in an equipment room while the wall is elsewhere.
The system has no central server. Each node works independently, so if one node fails the rest of the installation keeps running. Nodes can be added to extend the system, which makes this model a practical starting point for a wall that may grow later.
Picture, control and latency details that matter
- Colour sampling: YUV 444 is used for capture, transmission and processing, which keeps colour detail intact.
- Video ports: one HDMI 2.0 input and one HDMI 2.0 loop output for a local monitor.
- Keyboard latency: the shallow compression path has a minimum delay within 10 ms, so remote typing feels close to local use.
- Compression choice: a dual DSP and FPGA engine switches between shallow compression for strong networks and deep compression for average networks.
- Host support: works with Windows, Linux, Unix and Kylin hosts, and supports remote power on and power off.
- Encoding: H.265 by default, with H.264 available.
Where it fits in Qatar
A government operations room in Msheireb may keep its sources in a server room on another floor while the wall sits in the control room. The node carries the HDMI signal over a Gigabit network to the wall controller, and operators control the source computers from their desks.
A lecture theatre in Education City needs a presenter's 4K laptop displayed at full resolution on a large screen. The node captures the HDMI feed, and its 3.5 mm audio input and output carry dual-channel audio at 24-bit, 48 kHz.
An industrial site in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan that wants monitoring feeds on a central wall can use the system's alarm reporting. The node flags network disconnection, IP conflict, temperature and fan faults, and shows its status on the built-in OLED screen.
What to plan before ordering
- Rack space: each node is half-width, so two nodes match one standard rack width. The package includes a mounting bracket and a connecting bracket.
- Size and weight: 210 mm × 42 mm × 180 mm, 1.76 kg net. Magnetic mounting is optional.
- Power: 110 VAC to 240 VAC input, power consumption no more than 30 W, PoE under 802.3at, or an external supply for dual power. The 240 V range covers Qatar mains.
- Environment: working range 0 °C to 50 °C and 0% to 95% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, so mount it in a cooled, ventilated space rather than near a sun-facing window.
- Network: one Gigabit SFP optical port and one Gigabit electrical port with hot backup between them, plus unicast and multicast switching and NTP time sync.

Questions about DS-C80K-01HI/4K
What does the DS-C80K-01HI/4K do in a video wall system?
It is an input node that captures one HDMI 2.0 source and sends it over the network to a video wall controller, multi-functional video center or decoder. Because the signal travels as network data, the source computer can sit in an equipment room away from the screens. Its keyboard and mouse control also reaches the source computer remotely, which suits control rooms where operators work at a distance from the wall.
Does it accept 4K input at 60 fps?
Yes. The data lists one HDMI 2.0 input with a maximum video input resolution of 4K60, and the input node supports one channel of 4K 60 fps input plus custom resolutions. The input samples at YUV 444, so colour detail is kept. It also accepts lower resolutions such as 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. Before requesting a quote, confirm that your laptop or media player outputs the resolution you need.
Which computers can it control remotely?
The node is designed to take over and control hosts running Windows, Linux, Unix and Kylin. It also supports remote power on and power off, so an operator can restart a source PC without walking to the equipment room. Keyboard signal delay is within 10 ms at minimum, which helps remote input feel responsive. Check your host operating system against this list before you request a quote.
Can it be powered over Ethernet?
Yes. It conforms to the 802.3at standard and supports PoE, and it can also run from an external power supply to form a dual power arrangement. The input range is 110 VAC to 240 VAC, which includes the 240 V mains used in Qatar, and power consumption is no more than 30 W. The packing list includes a power cord. Confirm the PoE power budget of your switch with your network team.
Will it cope with summer heat in Qatar?
Its rated working temperature is 0 °C to 50 °C, with humidity from 0% to 95%. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, which leaves little margin, so install the node in an air-conditioned room or a ventilated, cooled rack with clear airflow. Avoid spots exposed to direct sun or hot window glass. SmartRooms Qatar can review the location during the free site survey.
How does it mount in a rack?
Each node is half-width, so two nodes together match the width of one standard rack. The package includes a mounting bracket and a connecting bracket for rack installation. Its dimensions are 210 mm × 42 mm × 180 mm and it weighs 1.76 kg net. Magnetic installation is available as an option, and planar placement on a surface is also supported. Plan spacing for airflow around the units inside the rack.
Does it work on its own, or does it need an output node?
The input node is one half of the KVM system. The data states that input and output nodes can form a self-contained system, so a complete KVM pair needs a matching output node at the receiving end. This product's data does not give output node specifications, so confirm the output node model in your quotation. Each node runs independently, so a single failure does not stop the others.
Can it bring a 4K source from an equipment room to a control room in Msheireb?
Yes, this is the intended use. A government operations room in Msheireb may keep its sources in a server room on another floor while the video wall sits in the control room. The node takes the HDMI signal and sends it over a Gigabit network to the wall controller. The SFP optical port and the Ethernet electrical port allow fibre or copper runs. Plan the cable route and length during the free site survey before ordering.
Would it suit a lecture hall at a university in Education City?
It suits a lecture theatre where a presenter's 4K laptop must appear on a large wall at full resolution. The node captures the HDMI source and sends it over the network, while its 3.5 mm ports handle audio input and output with 24-bit, 48 kHz dual-channel sound. A single hall with one presenter source may need only one pair of nodes. List your sources and screens in the quote request so the quotation is accurate.
Could it serve a plant control room in Mesaieed?
Yes, it can carry monitoring feeds from industrial sites in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan to a central video wall. The system reports network, temperature, fan and signal exceptions, and the node shows its status on a 128 × 64 OLED screen. The ambient conditions in the control room must stay within 0 °C to 50 °C. Discuss the environment and cable routes with the SmartRooms Qatar team before requesting a quote.
Would it fit a conference centre in West Bay with several meeting rooms?
A conference centre in West Bay with several breakout rooms can use these nodes to feed presentation sources to each room's display from a central technical room. The system supports multi-level user permissions with up to 500 users by default, so reception staff and technical staff can hold different rights. Custom shortcut keys can also match each team's habits. State the number of rooms and sources when you request a quote.
How do I order several nodes with a purchase order?
Send your LPO or tender reference with the quantities of input nodes, output nodes, video wall controllers and screens. SmartRooms Qatar usually issues a quotation within one working day. We deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar, offer professional installation, and accept purchase orders and government tenders. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Request a quote with your site details now.
