video sources to be displayed on up to two connected displays while analog (balanced/unbalanced) and
digital (PCM) audio de-embed ports feed audio of the selected source into an amplifier, DSP, or sound
bar. Integrating KD-UPS52U with KD-AMP220 and KD-CAMUSB will enable an app-ready all-in-one
solution for control of video switching, sound and speech enforcement, and PTZ camera control. Key
