It is PoE-powered (802.3at), has a Gigabit SFP and Ethernet uplink, and works with up to 256 seats. Suited to operations centres and lecture halls in Doha, Lusail and Education City that need remote host control across a network. Request a quote.

What the DS-C80K-01HO/4K does in a KVM video wall system

The Hikvision DS-C80K-01HO/4K is an output node in the C80K KVM and distributed controller family. It takes a signal arriving over the network and sends it to a single HDMI 2.0 display, with the output rated at 4K60 (3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz). It is one half of a KVM system, paired with input nodes that capture sources such as computers, and it does not need a central server. Each node runs independently, so a single node failure does not stop the rest of the system.

Specifications that matter when you plan the system

Signal processing uses a dual-engine design with DSP and FPGA stages, and YUV 4:4:4 sampling is kept through capture, transmission and output, which helps text-heavy dashboards and drawings look sharp on the wall. The source states a minimum delay within 10 ms for keyboard and mouse operation at a remote seat. Each node uses a half-width body, so two nodes fill one rack width.

Power: 110 to 240 VAC input with up to 30 W consumption, or PoE under 802.3at.
Network: one Gigabit SFP optical port and one Gigabit Ethernet port, with hot backup between them.
Control I/O: RS-232, RS-485, IO/IR input and output terminals, a relay terminal and a 3.3 V IR power output.
Operating range: 0 °C to 50 °C and 0% to 95% humidity.

Where it fits in Qatar

A government operations room in Doha might use a video wall to show traffic, utilities or security feeds, with several operators sharing one keyboard and mouse across screens. The KVM seat matrix supports up to 3 × 5 and roaming control across screens. A university lecture theatre or teaching lab in Education City can show a lecturer's PC on the wall in another room, and the remote power on and power off function lets IT staff restart a host without walking to it. A corporate control centre in West Bay or Lusail can link to a site in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan over the network, with long-range transmission carried by the Gigabit connection.

What to plan before you order

Count your signal sources, seats and screens before requesting a quote, because the system is sized by these numbers. Confirm the network design: the node supports unicast and multicast, and time can be synchronised manually or through NTP. If you plan to power the node by PoE, confirm the switch supports 802.3at; otherwise use the external power supply. Qatar summers can push equipment temperatures up, so keep the node in an air-conditioned room or ventilated cabinet within its 0 °C to 50 °C range. The box includes a power cord, a mounting bracket and a connecting bracket.

Questions about DS-C80K-01HO/4K

What is the DS-C80K-01HO/4K used for?

It is an output node for KVM-based video wall and control room systems. It receives signals over the network and sends them to one HDMI 2.0 display at up to 4K60, and its HDMI port can carry audio too. It works alongside input nodes and a controller, so the system can route different sources to different screens across a building or campus.

Does it support 4K resolution?

Yes. The HDMI 2.0 output supports 4K60, which is 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz. It also lists 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz, 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz and 1600 × 1200 at 60 Hz. Image sampling uses YUV 4:4:4 through capture, transmission and output, which keeps colour detail for dashboards and drawings. Pair it with a 4K input node when your source is 4K.

Can it be powered by PoE, and does it work with Qatar mains?

It conforms to the 802.3at PoE standard, so a compatible switch can power it. Alternatively, the external power supply accepts 110 to 240 VAC at 0.7 A, and power consumption is 30 W or less. The 240 VAC range covers Qatar's 240 V mains supply. Confirm that the supplied power cord suits the BS 1363 sockets at your site before ordering.

How many seats and screens can one system handle?

The KVM seat scale is listed as 256 seat input nodes and 256 seat output nodes. Each seat output supports a matrix of up to 3 × 5, and one keyboard and mouse can roam across multiple screens. Graphics card expansion of 1 × 2, 1 × 3 or 1 × 4 lets one device drive several screens. Confirm your seat count with the SmartRooms Qatar team when you request a quote.

What happens if one node fails?

The system uses no central server, and every node works independently. A single node failure will not stop the rest of the system from running. Each node also has an OLED screen showing its configuration and status, and it raises alarms for network, temperature, fan and signal exceptions, so faults can be spotted and fixed quickly in a busy control room.

Which host operating systems can it control?

The source lists control of hosts running Windows, Linux, Unix and Kylin. The node supports remote host power on and remote host power off, so IT staff can restart a PC from the control room. Before ordering, confirm your exact host configuration with the SmartRooms Qatar team so the system is set up correctly for your computers.

Is it suitable for a lecture theatre at a Qatar university?

Yes, for a lecture theatre or teaching lab where a lecturer's PC in one room must appear on a wall in another. Window division of 1, 4, 6 or 8, or a custom split, lets one screen show several sources. The delay within 10 ms keeps remote control responsive, and each user can save 8 scenes, so timetabled set-ups can be recalled quickly.

Can it be rack-mounted or fixed to furniture?

It supports rack installation, and two half-width nodes fill one rack width. The node measures 210 mm × 42 mm × 180 mm and weighs 1.25 kg. Installation options are magnetic mounting (optional), flat placement and rack installation. The packing list includes a mounting bracket and a connecting bracket. A site survey before fixing equipment helps confirm the chosen method suits your cabinet or desk.

Which control interfaces are on the node?

The node provides RS-232 and RS-485 Phoenix terminals, IO/IR input and output terminals that are customised by software, a relay terminal, and a 3.3 V IR power terminal. It also has a reset interface and a console port for debugging. Central control can manage lighting, curtains and infrared devices, and can control LCD and LED screens, which suits a managed meeting room.

Can it be managed remotely, and how is time set?

Yes. Settings can be read, changed, imported and exported remotely, and the device can be restarted, reset to defaults and upgraded remotely. System status and logs can be retrieved remotely. Access is available through a control client or a web client. Time can be set manually or through NTP synchronisation, and the system supports up to 500 users by default.

Which network standards and protocols does it use?

Each node offers one Gigabit SFP optical port and one Gigabit Ethernet port, with hot backup between them. The system switches between unicast and multicast protocols and the source describes good third-party network compatibility. PoE follows the 802.3at standard. An optical uplink suits longer runs between buildings, such as links across an education campus.

Can I add a second output node for another screen?

Each output node drives one HDMI display, so a wall with several screens uses one output node per display, and the system grows as nodes are added. Input nodes supply the sources. Send the number of screens, sources and seats when you request a quote, and the team can size input and output nodes together for your site.
